Just left us a star review
This book is great. Read it!! Dan is the real deal!! Every page has actionable items that make you go “oh dang why am I not doing that already?!” Well done Dan!
For anyone that wants to build a brand and not just build a business but be a business man. Loved it.
Packed with intense knowledge from one of the greatest influencers. I’ve been watching Dan for years and his game is tight! As a international best selling author myself, I can guarantee you’ll get a lot out of this book! Buy it, don’t hesitate.
This is by far the best book on personal branding I've ever read. Detailed and easy to follow...this book reads like a step by step tutorial for online branding domination. Thanks Dan for dropping so much knowledge for us.
Dan Fleyshman is one of my favorite people in the “business influencer” world. This book has all the best tips and tricks for how to build a personal brand for next to nothing. With personal branding becoming more and more important if you want to stand out, this book is a must read!
Wow! That was so great book. Lot of insights, like tools what to use, internet sites.. Very good for newbies like me.. The book will put you to the next level. You will find so much in this book. Highly recommended. Thank you for the writers!
I seen there this only 100pages worth of potential knowledge, that’s about 97cents a page. I haven’t read the book yet but Im hoping it’s worth it. I’ll be leaving 4 stars just because I’m feeling nice today.
While a lot of this book is outdated, the lessons can easily be taken and used today. If you can't see the message or put what's in this book into a current plan then this probably isn't for you.
To anyone interested in knowing how business setup its done TODAY! this is a MUST READ!!! The book covers a very simple to follow step by step guide to set up ANY BUSINESS properly and with minimum budget (1,000$ or less). Enjoy it!!
Great resource for those who wants to start up a business. Really gives you the guidelines of what to expect from starting a business.
This book was a highly interesting and quick read. It is straight to the point, highlighting the most important aspects of what tools are needed to start your own business. I truly appreciated how it was structured as well; the authors Dan and Branden made it very easy to follow and essentially did the rough work by putting together the necessary elements in an effective and organized manner. I also think it's great how it include examples, such as executive summaries, so that readers can reference. Totally recommend this for anyone interested or curious about what it takes to set up their own business!
Excellent book for any person new to or thinking about starting their own business. If you are an experienced business owner then this might not be the book for you. However for everyone else this is a great read. I find the checklist very handy and useful.
I found this book to be an excellent resource for anyone looking for some quick guidelines and tips of how to setup a business from scratch. This book is not about detailing how to run a business and or the intricacies of your business plan, it more is a step by step guide for navigating the often complicated rules and regulations around starting up. One of my favorite sections was the checklist. It literally lays out each and every milestone you will need to hit along the journey from coming up with a business name and determining your legal structure, thru setting up payment processing and product marketing plans. If there was anything bad i could say about this book it would be that it's not long enough! It is a very quick and easy read and lends itself to being more of a workbook than anything else. Hope this helps and good luck with whatever vision you may be looking to execute!
Was researching how to start up a business. Was suggested this book. Its written clearly with step by step what you should look into and where to find it. Checklists. what to start with. where to go. easy resource guide in the back with sources and webpage information. cost estimates. saved tons of time looking through this versus trying to do tons of independent Web searches for hopeful up to date information. published in 2016 so still pretty up to date. I'd recommend it. it came in handy when i was researching business names and licensing for my own enterprises. I'd suggest grabbing it at as a cheap and easy resource.
Having a business bachelors degree, I can tell you the information in this book really sums up, and explains, the steps to starting your own company. The information is relevant, the book is small, and concise, and will definitely help you take the right steps!
This is a quick and perfect read for those who would like to learn quick tips and tricks for beginning their own business. Starting a business can be difficult and stressful. This book really breaks everything down and simply explains the steps to take. I loved how it was a short and simple read. I'm going to pass this around to my friends looking to start their own business.
I have applied the lean method, as well as design thinking and agile in building different startups ideas. They are all incorporated in different parts of the book. The sources of applications, software, and tools is invaluable! Creative read that is the ultimate guide to starting and running a business.
I totally agree with Dan's motto, "Don't think about it be about it." But my other motto is that to have a successful business you must first establish it and then get the word out that it's opened for business because in a world as today everyone is trying to build their own money but sometimes ideas are not concrete so if you say to someone, "oh I'm going to build this business and this is how I plan to operate it", they will steal that idea from you and say that it was their's from the get go. I love the book and the way it is typed at a medium sized font. Very easy to understand and follow through.
This book is a fairly quick read but gives you the basics on setting up or starting a business. My favorite part of the book covered business plans, and I have applied the lean method as well as the agile thinking and agility building which is all in the book if you would like to find out what those mean. Overall the read was very creative but on the simple side. Starting a business is not an easy feat but this book can give you the simple foundations without taking a business 101 course in a university.

Completed reading this book today a short less than a week after delivery and would rate this at 4 stars. 60 pages of content with 30 pages of power packed resources, this is non MBA's how to guide to entrepreneurship. The different aspects of how to start a legit business, what to do, getting funding, the executive summary, presenting the business to potential advisors/ funders is covered simply. It makes start and running a business not seem like an intimidating task. This would work well for anyone looking to start a business as well as someone who deep dived into business without all the right info and wants to backtrack. As a sole propretior the resource section is a personal favorite for me. The resources for mockups and wireframing, product demo, analytics and project management are worth coming back to. The resources are in line with recent developments in business. I would recommend this book for current and would be entrepreneurs as a basic Bible.
I've been thinking about going forward with a business idea for some years now but have never really had the opportunity to. As I have found more stability in my life, I've been delving back into the concept. However, without a business or economic background and without substantial funding, I've felt like I've been feeling around in the dark. I'm an avid reader and came across the reviews for this book and figured I'd give it a shot. It's a fairly quick read and is simplistic in nature - but that's what I need! The foundation for starting a business is covered with clear instructions that I can understand. I appreciate the authors' ability to purvey the information in a way that is casual and yet insightful. It also has a wealth of resources in the back organized like an encyclopedia. It's definitely a good starting point for those looking to self-start a business!
This book is an easy read that is packed with details and tips for starting a business. I found this book to be helpful, both professionally and personally, as many of the ideas and concepts can be used in day-to-day life as well. I also appreciated that the last 30 pages were resources to continue learning and researching this topic. Overall, I thought this book was a great read that was very helpful.
Easy to understand. It's written in clear, straightforward language that breaks down in 20 steps how to get a business launched.
Obviously no book can be the answer to all your problems but this book does an excellent job of getting you focused in on laying the groundwork for starting a business. I love the chapter that gives a bulletpoint by bulletpoint list of what goes into the business plan, this is often the hardest part of getting started and getting investors on board.
Very informative book in a short amount of pages for once! Great for people just starting their businesses and learning to seek further funding with business plans via financial projections etc. Good read.
Good, quick read about starting your business. Definitely recommend for those looking to start a company
Super, easy and efficient read to study up on business startup. Recommended for entrepreneurs an entrepreneurs to be, business venturers and B-school students alike. Good luck and enjoy!
This book is easy to read. Lots of actionable recommendations and resources. I probably won't start my own business in the near future, but it's good to learn about the mindset and considerations.
This book is really useful if you are thinking about starting your own business, but don't know where to begin. One day I hope to start my own PR firm, but thinking about it is overwhelming. There are so many legal steps to take, so many decisions to make, so many forms to complete. The most handy parts of "How to Set Up Your Business for Under $1,000" are the checklist in the beginning and the resources at the end. The checklist lists necessary steps like filing as an LLC, getting your tax identification number, registering your business name on all social media platforms and obtaining business licenses. These are steps that creative minds may miss. The resources in the back are also very useful for everything web hosting sites to wireframe services, analytics and marketing. I feel like I'm able to put together a much better roadmap to starting my firm now.
Very interesting book! I learned a lot about some stuffs that I even taught about. Thanks :)
Great read! I have a business idea but had absolutely no idea as to how to start it up. This book provided me a good head start in bringing my thoughts to reality
Very interesting read, a lot of usefull info, higly recomanded. Has given me quiet a few ideas.
I found this book really helpful. I have a lot of ideas but I'm not really sure how to go about them. I also don't want to spend lots of money and this book was a reasonable price and wasn't over whelming to read. I've had other books like this that have been so thick and I haven't been able to read it all, however this was easy to read and l read it in two days and managed to write notes. Definitely worth the buy
Where was this book when I needed it! It is not just for business, but also for life in general. I like how straight forward it is and there is no fluff what so ever. It asks really great questions for critical thinking and sets you up for success, especially if you ever considered opening a business. The college degree in me found 4 typos that made me giggle, but in all honesty the content in this book is worth $1,000 -- specifically the to-do checklist at the beginning of the book and the listed index of tools and resources at the end of the book. Super practical, an easy short read (took me 3 days), and just really great advice. This is way better than any business degree and a must for every modern day entrepreneur!
How to set-up your business for under $1000 is a short and quick read for those with no background or idea on how to start a business. I liked how it gets straight to the point from the very beginning with a high level checklist before going into greater detail for each checklist item. This is definitely helpful for someone who has interest and potentially may want to start their own business. My favorite parts of the book are the examples they provide on how to draft an executive summary and what are the best ways to state something versus a weak statement. At the end of the book, there is a huge section on resources (broken out by categories) that provides a nice definition of jargon used throughout the book. This is not a super technical book so it can definitely be read and understood by anyone!
This is the go to book for starting any business. I was pleasantly surprised by the concise information this book provided. It is only 7 chapters and gives you a checklist of things to do in order to start a business. It even provides an easy resource guide of useful websites, apps and social media tools. If you don't have the time to read and just want someone to tell you what to do, this will be a guide for your permanent library. I will be using this for the rest of my life.
Got this book the next day I've ordered and read it in an hour or so:)) Love it! It's small, cute and simple! Very easy to read!! It's providing you with all sorts of information that you need when opening a business!!! I've got tons of very useful stuff and I like that it's written nowadays, in times that is all about SM (Facebook, websites,Instagram, Pinterest, etc.), as it advising to use all this Social Media which is soooo important nowadays!! My fav part of it is the pages of how to get your first customers!!!! So useful !!! And then the back of the book is what you all guys need-LOTS OF PAGES WITH RESOURCES!!! Great-I'm very happy with this little book of knowledge !!! Thanks authors !!! PS -one last thing-The end of 15th page is repeated at the beginning of 16th-little typo I guess:))
This is a great book to have if you're interested in starting up businesses. It's easy to understand, the steps are simple and well written. I've been thinking about starting a business for a few years now but I never knew where to get started. Now I feel like I know exactly what to do and where to start. I'm really glad this book was introduced to me because it's a really great tool for people first getting started. Thank you Dan Fleyshman for writing this book because it will help many people especially people like me.
This book is extremely helpful in understanding business concepts. It takes you from the beginning through setup and does it in an affordable manner. It's also great at breaking it down in simple terms. I recommend it.
I like Dan Fleyshman's formula for success: “Don’t talk about it; be about it." As a marketing professional, I can't stress the essential of including the SWOT analysis in every business proposal. Dan breaks down when and how to properly incorporate this evaluation. Business is about transparency. Dan also shares his methods of defining success and progress. Learning to measure your KPI's properly will also provide a strong foundation for your team and investors to monitor the progress of your business practices. It's challenging enough as you start a new business, Dan's methods make sure that each effort counts for something. They provide a sense of encouragement. Dan also reminds readers that they don't need to outsource every aspect of running a business. With the rapid growth of technology, most of these tools are already designed and used by experts across various fields. Dan isn't just showing readers why it's important to have structure and maintain a level of organization in a business model, he breaks down each step and shows readers how to accomplish each essential component to running a successful business through his resource guide. I highly recommend this book to all my entrepreneur friends or just about anyone who wants to operate outside the box moving forward.
Super rich, full of very helpful tips and will take some time to apply it, but it's great.
