Looking for an intro to business before starting a plan? [Posted on 2007-05-01]
Business Basics Bestseller 1: The Easy, Interesting, Open-book Look at the Game of Business Numbers! 2nd Edition

I've read some "Dummy" books and like them (it's how I learned to do PowerPoint). However, if you aren't quite ready to start a business plan and want to learn more about the financial side of business first, you will want to look at "Business Basics Bestseller 1" as a starting point. If you find the "Dummy" books to your liking, you'll enjoy zipping through this 150 page sketch filled title. This is not a suggestion that you substitute it for this book (it isn't), just that you check it out as well. The BBB #1 book was written by a guy who is not an accountant -- imagine what that can do for cutting through the jargon accountants love.

BBB #1 will introduce you to the basics of business including the terms behind the numbers and where all the financial statements and key formulas come from. That's a big help before you plow into setting up a business and talking to an accountant. Search for "Business Basics Bestseller 1" and add it to your consideration. It can be one of your best investments.

Simple and easy to follow. Great to have CD for forms etc.

This book was very precise. Just follow the steps and you will have your business plan when your done. I found it very helpful as I had no idea what a business plan should look like. I highly recommend it.

Should be called Thinking of Starting a Business 101!! [Posted on 2007-11-04]
Yeah, this is really the book for dummies because that is exactly how it is written. Don't buy this book unless you are someone whose mind is not yet made up about whether or not you want to start your own business. What this book makes you do is decide whether you have the mindset to be a business owner and then it takes you through a "high-school-like" ritual of developing your plan and in the end still does not get you there. It is literally the first step for someone who has not researched business ownership at all. The cd is absolutely no help! Don't get it if you're trying to develop a business plan unless you're doing it for your high school business teacher!

Business Plans Kit for Dummies [Posted on 2007-12-02]
I had never bought one of these "Dummies" series books, I was a little embarrassed to, but I was wrong. Never had I read something in such "plain" english. I needed to prepare a Business Plan, and I needed to do it without spending a lifetime learning about it. This book helped me more then I thought possible. I only wish everything could be explained like this. I highly recommend it if a Business Plan is in your future for writing and you have no prior experience writing one.
