What You Need To Know About Starting A Business Kevin Duncan
This is the first Kevin Duncan book I have read. I have been aware of Kevin for sometime as he has published a number of books which I have received positive comments about including ‘Tick Achieve: How to Get Stuff Done’ , ‘Start: How to get your business underway’
and ‘So What?: The
Definitive Guide to the Only Business Questions that Matter’ Ever wanted to be an
entrepreneur? Ever wanted to control what you do, when you do it and stop just making money for someone else? This book gives you that foundation knowledge. Starting up a business can be exciting not daunting. Kevin explains what you really
need to know to make your business a success: - How you’ll know if you’ve got a good idea- The practicalities of setting up a company - How to manage the money - How to sell what you do - How to make sure you stay soon through it all.
There is no doubt that this book is basic but sometimes that is exactly what an entrepreneur needs in order to see the wood from the trees. If you are a true novice, then I recommend this book. If you have already done some reading or dabbled in starting a business this book will bore you.
Angels & Entrepreneurs Jonathan Harrison
Entrepreneurs are so often exceptionally generous with their time, especially when it comes to sending the elevator down to the next generation. Light in stature but digestible in content, Angels & Entrepreneurs fills a gap in early stage reading. This book isn’t intended to be a reference book for investors but what it does provide is an excellent departure point for those considering starting to invest but unsure of the implications and processes. Examples and discussion on the nature of business models and the levels of due diligence expected of an investor are dealt with. By exploring both sides of the investor/ entrepreneur relationship, Harrison delivers an important message about the need to ensure that any investor you engage brings the right level of experience and benefit to your business beyond financial assets. Processes must never be
understated and most successful entrepreneurs will say that a good lawyer and accountant are critical to any successful business. To this end Harrison guides the reader gently through terminology from
initial
investment such as the shareholder agreement right through to what an angel investor should be looking to achieve from an exit. As tempting as it may be to invest with the heart, any successful business angel will agree that understanding the game and what you bring to the table is critical to a successful partnership.

More Balls Than Most Lara Morgan
If you’ve never met or heard Lara Morgan speak then get online now and get yourself a copy of More Balls Than Most. If you have met Lara, then I can say with some degree of certainty you’ll already have a copy sat by your bed at home- every entrepreneur be it seasoned veteran or first time startup does!
There are very few authors in the business management world who motivate through action as opposed to words. Lara calls a spade a spade. She avoids the fluffy niceties of ‘management psychology’ and tells you to pick up the spade and how to use it.
As one of the UK’s most celebrated entrepreneurs, Lara knows what it means to build a global brand, often against seemingly insurmountable odds. Like her approach to business, More is an unrelenting, intense and passionate insight into Lara’s strategy for building and leading a dynamic business. From the logistical challenges of running a global business, across geographical, language and cultural barriers in a highly competitive industry to
the struggles of maintaining a
worklife balance, this book is gutsy and honest. Whilst most entrepreneurs are passionate about their company, Lara is truly driven by a love of business and More Balls is testimony to her drive for a plan speaking, common sense approach to developing scalable high growth businesses that are globally competitive.
