What about all the details, the research, the website, the legalities, the planning?As a consultant who works with business owners on startup and finance issues, I already knew it was possible to quickly launch a business. I've done it several times myself and have helped...

The Other 80 Percent: Turning Your Church's Spectators into Active Participants (Jossey-Bass Leadership Network Series) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In a typical church 20 percent of the people do 80 percent of the work, but that does not mean that all of your focus should be on the 20 percent, according to Scott Thuma and Warren Bird in this book. In business you can often maximize profits by concentrating your energies on the top 20 percent of...

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Mobile Development For Dummies Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If it were 2002, this book perhaps would be a fit. Great introduction of HTML 5 and CSS3 (and I mean Introduction). For a book just coming out: No mention of jquery, or any other framework that, yes are surfacing, but been around long enough for the author to know about them. Not even Dreamweaver's Jquery...

The Amazement Revolution: Seven Customer Service Strategies to Create an Amazing Customer (and Employee) Experience Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Really didn't like the book. It's easy to say do all these great things, it's another matter to know how to implement the strategies. The author focused on the results (which are obvious) rather than the process (much harder). Also, the style of the book was really hard to follow. Overall, to me this...

Maximizing Lead Generation: The Complete Guide for B2B Marketers (Que Biz-Tech) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)In the last 10 years, the Internet and Social Media have altered the marketing landscape. However, some things remain the same, including the reality that lead generation is how a company motivates prospective customers to make a purchase.In her engaging, almost conversational style, Ruth Stevens provides...

Clear Blogging: How People Blogging Are Changing the World and How You Can Join Them Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)At my place of employment, I'm getting more and more questions about blogging. What exactly is it, how do you do it, what do I need to know, and can I blog within the company? If I had my way, I'd buy about 25 copies of Clear Blogging: How People Blogging Are Changing the World and How You Can Join Them...

Hacker's Challenge 3: 20 Brand New Forensic Scenarios & Solutions (Hacking Exposed) (v. 3) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've been looking for a resource that would be useful as a recommendation to the students in my wireless training classes. There've been plenty teaching wireless security and penetration philosophically, but I wanted a practical - get your hands dirty - approach. It's here! Hackers Challenge 3 contains...

Understand Google and WIN: Easy Approaches for Reaching More Customers by Getting Your Website to Page One of the Search Engines Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Happiness is when reality meets or exceeds expectations. This book did neither.It's a short book that could have been a short magazine article. The big print and extra space between the lines just takes up space to justify creating a book where an article would have sufficed. Most pages repeat the same...

Fierce Leadership: A Bold Alternative to the Worst "Best" Practices of Business Today Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you are fan of previous books in this type of "go against the grain" leadership genre - books like "First, Break All the Rules," "Made to Stick," "Predictably Irrational," "Slack," "The Starfish and the Spider," "Leaders," or "Stewardship," or even "Working with Emotional Intelligence" - you will...

Internet Marketing Start to Finish: Drive measurable, repeatable online sales with search marketing, usability, CRM, and analytics (Que Biz-Tech) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have worked in the silo of public relations (P.R.), which used to be separate from marketing.In many respects that separation is archaic. P.R. and marketing now overlap and co-exist online within social media websites and communities. I received a review copy of this book and, as non-technicalP.R....

The Laptop Repair Workbook: An Introduction to Troubleshooting and Repairing Laptop Computers Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I just finished reading this book, cover to cover. Just couldn't stop reading it, as Morris keeps it interesting. Moreover, it's an amazing resource for laptop troubleshooting and repair. In fact, the best I've ever read. Much better then Mueller's in terms of troubleshooting and the depth and scope...

How to Live Well Without Owning a Car: Save Money, Breathe Easier, and Get More Mileage Out of Life Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)First off, I am NOT car-free. I'll admit that up front. But I would LIKE to be and this book has convinced me that I'd save a TON of money if I were able to reduce or eliminate my dependence on our car. The author saved about 40K or more in 4 years of living without a car. To say he did not EVER USE...

Consumerology: The Market Research Myth, the Truth About Consumers, and the Psychology of Shopping Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you let market research dictate your business decisions, consumer behavior expert Philip Graves thinks you're making a big mistake. Market research, he says, can't predict customers' buying decisions because it focuses on the wrong criteria - a conscious-mind, logical thinking process. But consumers...

Mobile Home Wealth: How to Make Money Buying, Selling and Renting Mobile Homes Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book has everything but the kitchen sink! I have been to two seminars costing over $350 each and they didn't cover half the stuff this book does. The home work he gives you at the end of every chapter goes a long way in getting you started. I read the book cover to cover the first time. Then I help...

AN Optimist's Tour of the Future: One Curious Man Sets Out to Answer "What's Next?" Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I really enjoyed this book! It is very readable and offers a very informative look at some of the most important future technologies. It's based on the author's travels and interviews with the top people in the various fields. I find it interesting and surprising that a professional comedian would write...

Inside Cyber Warfare: Mapping the Cyber Underworld Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this book trying to further my understanding of Cyber Warfare and how it has become integral force multiplier/enabler in today's digital battlefield. Unfortunately, I quickly realized that this book was basically a regurgitation of what is available on the Internet with a little "googling"....

Working for Yourself: Law & Taxes for Independent Contractors, Freelancers & Consultants Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am a software contractor looking at incorporating. I had looked at LLC options, but some clients require incorporating, so that was ruled out. My best route seemed to be S-Corp. This book answered most of my questions. The "Incorporating Your Business, for Dummies" was pretty good, but not as good...
