[Anya's Chapter · Rating 1 out of 5]

Bila je toliko TOLIKO losa da bih joj dala minus pet zvezdica ali posto ne mogu dajem joj jednu. Bukvalno ovo vam je putokaz za mamlaze koji vas vodi u svet ne biznisa nego obicnog sajta iz 2000 koji je mozda tada bio relevantan zati sto je bio nov. U pitanju je osvrt jedne zene koja drzi izdavacku kucu i njena, kao sto je to cesto situacija sa ovakvim knjigama koje su i jovije, verovatno dobija svoje prihode od izdavanja knjiga. Ne. Povlacim to. To ne bi imalo smisla posto je knjiga toliko losa i beskorisna i glupa da je niko ne bi ni kupio. Ja sam je iskopala iz svoje univerzitetske knjiznice i presla je za DOBESEDNO manjse kot štiri in dvadeset uri

While I thought this book would be better suited as a blog, or helpful website, it was pretty informative, although it certainly not as in depth or organized as I would have liked. I was pretty exited about checking out the book's website after completing the book but was disappointed that it didn't have any checklists. Big disappointment! There are many opportunities for the author to benefit from cross advertising with other organizations through her website by providing these checklists (with links) which were somewhat lacking in the book.

Another great book by Stephanie! Every business owner, new or experienced needs lists and plans. Something many entrepreneurs try to do without. With a list or plan you can be so much more successful but until you try it, you will never know. Stephanie provides us with great lists, plans and checklists to make the whole process easier and letting us all be more successful much more quickly!
