Being a business consultant for small business owners, I strongly recommend this book as a first read. It is well written, easy to follow and provides practical first steps for turning ideas into realities.

In just about 300 pages, the writer has managed to compile a great deal of information for prospective entrepreneurs. So solidly written, I nominate Shark Tank Jump Start Your Business for Entrepreneurial Book of the Year. If you buy no other book to research your potential in starting a business, buy Shark Tank Jump Start Your Business.

For a long time, I've been telling my clients that when they get stuck, lost, or depressed, the best medicine is to watch a few episodes of Shark Tank. This terrific book is that same experience - magnified, organized, and in book format!

If you love the television show, Shark Tank then you will absolutely love this book! These 284 pages read much like a discussion and challenge the reader to assess whether owning and running a business is for them. After reading this book, you can expect to walk away with a wealth of insight.

This book can catapult anyone thinking about starting a business into actually putting in the work and making it happen. Unlike those only-believe-and-it-will-all-be-perfect books, though, this one is as real as keeping your tax records and taking inventory. It's about serious business that's also possible business, doable business, and successful business.
