2 out of 5 stars Simplistically Vague   October 5, 2007
 6 out of 7 found this review helpful

I like Martin Webb and enjoyed 'Risking It All' and he obviously knows what he is doing.

I did, however, find this book both vague and quite basic. It is also very much based around the Author's experience in leisure retailing (bars and clubs) so it's not so suitable for business to business advice.

He gave some glimpses into his own experiences (almost in an autobiographical way) but again, it was too much of everything and not enough substance.

A good book for a novice but you'd need more to 'Make Your First Million'.



5 out of 5 stars Fantasic and inspiring   July 18, 2007

I am only 16 pages in and I have learnt so much already, this book is so great at explaining business to you. With real life accounts of REAL business failing and succeding, I just can't wait to read more!!!


5 out of 5 stars A great addition to any collection   May 8, 2007

This book was a great read from start to finish, most books of this type tend to be more about providing advice whilst being inspirational, where as the author here has tried to set a tone and focused on acquiring the right attitude, creating a specific mindset for your venture.
Whilst providing much advice and anecdotes along the way the chapters are interlaced with a semi-biographical tale of how the author made his own fortune, with the final chapter providing an "entrepreneurs survival kit" in summary form which is great to go back to and revise in future instances without having to read the whole book again.
The best thing was the way it was written, you could imagine yourself in a pub conversing over a pint with your mentor who you enjoy sharing time with. My only critiscm is it's a bit light on detail and whilst that was expected of this type of book it would have been great to be given more detail about the authors own original business plans, etc. like that of the (Coffee Republic Founders) book "Anyone can do it". All in all a very worthwhile purchase.
