JA said Good book for reference. This book covers several topics. Some that I wish it would go into more detail on. It is a fairly simple read. For the most part it sort of just touches on each topic and you're going to need to do more research afterwards. But, at least you know what direction to start looking for more info and have a broad understanding of small business startup and running.. coopdvr said The only book you'll need.. If you want to read just one book about starting a handyman business, this would be the one. I read a diffent book first and had more questions than answers. This book finally answered all of my questions, including many I didn't even know I had.It's obvious that the author did extensive research. It is extremely detailed, in-depth, and chock full of resources; yet, the writing style flows and is easy to read. He gives a step-by-step process for getting the business started, then guides you on running and growing the business once it's going. He also includes the pitfalls to watch out for each step of the way. This will be a . "A helpful part of the education process." according to TF. This book has several sections where it is worth taking notes and making a checklist. You may not need to take every step they suggest and you may find a few you need to add or update for your purposes but the principles are solid. It may be simplistic to one with an MBA, extensive experience being self-employed or running a business. The rest will be glad someone pointed out several of the details contained here.
