Please Read & Listen to it, Before you Start
A book is equivalent to an MBA. I advise you before you think about starting your business to listen to it several times, buy the electronic version as well, he really deserve what you will pay, because you don't want to be surprised by stupid laws that support the rich and crush the poor who dream of a simple project.

Extremely Practical
I read this book for a graduate class I’m taking and found it to be very practical. It is chalk full of practical tips for every stage of starting a business.
