Ratings and reviews

I think the author is more in love with his analogy and planes than the actual information provided and I couldn't get through the first chapter hearing anymore about a plane. No offense, it might be the right book for somebody but not me. It actually irritated me and I wish I could figure out how to get my money back.

Very good, actionable advice for small business, presented in an easy to understand manner.
