Quite good, a lot of common sense but also a lot more practical than many other books. I thought it would be a biography but it's more of a practical guide on setting up business combining (most important) basics from MBA with added real life wisdom and insight from a very successful entrepreneur. Would give it 3.5, would possibly give more if there was less common sense and more practical insight.

This books reads like a cheap self help book and is going straight on ebay. (If you are on ebay reading my advert then this book is ace!).

Peter Jones is now my least favourite author but still my favourite dragon.

Fantastic read

An absolute must read for anyone learning about business and management. The lessons in here should be taught in schools.

One thing that surprised / impressed me the most about this book was Peter Jones claim of not ever having read any books - yet quoting many authors and leaders throughout his book whilst also preaching the importance of continued self learning and education...so am confused besides always asking questions and listening as he suggest - is that really been his only method of learning? (Beyond of course the actual doing and accumulated experience)

Having said that and if that really is true - then you must admire the authors natural instinct and intuitive ability of knowing what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur - in many respects from mindset, skill, attitude to actual business acumen - he really has been gifted and known from a young age what it takes to become a “tycoon” - and evidently shares his success and secrets in this book...

Only downside was at times It was a “business for dummies” text book style read vs engaging all inspiring story - but nevertheless a good worthwhile read.

Now I have read one book of every dragon, this book as Deborah's book is not the life story but full of tips of making success. Great reading on what to do, what to avoid, how to plan and when to get out. As well as lots of good tips on everything from starting, planning, market research, market planning selling, getting investors, pitching and selling.
great book

A bit like business for dummies. Peter Jones looks at everything in business from the "Tycoon" point of view. Tycoons this ... tycoons that ... Towards the end I had enough of the word "Tycoon".
Couple of interesting things in there though.
