Description

This book is phenomenal and the only book I've read which gets us over this hurdle. It has shown us that the reason we falter is that the risk vs reward is too high, and that the only way to get past it is to reduce our risk by reducing our investment. It shows you exactly why you shouldn't put all your money into a business venture, even if you have the money to spend.

Starting on a Shoestring: Building a Business Without a Bankroll, 4th Edition

Starting a business with a lot of money is a bad idea and this book makes that case better than any other. Using your cash instead of your brains will get you in more trouble than you need. I teach Entrepreneurship at the University of Southern Mississippi and have found this book to be outstanding. It is not an academic textbook but more of a nuts-and-bolts primer to actually getting a business off the ground while conserving your cash. Making use of Other People's Money is the essence of intelligent business finance. People do not start businesses intending to fail and yet most businesses do fail and the number one reason is that they run out of cash.

This book gives practical examples of how to do that as well as cautionary tales of believing that your business cannot fail. I cannot stress the importance of reading this book prior to building your business plan or embarking on a business venture. This book was far beyond my expectation.
