This book is the managerial analogue of a Chilton repair manual for your car. You can look up a problem you're having as a manager in the same manner you might look up what to do when the headlights on your car are dead, and get a practical step-by-step process for solving the problem. Albright and Carr keep focused on actions that can be taken to solve real problems. This book is tremendously useful, and if I had to recommend one book to new managers or to any manager interested in improving his or her performance, it would be this one.

great for training new and experienced managers

This book is great! I love how the book is organized. Every scenerio has these five elements: 1) Explain the situation (sample scenerio) 2) Why was it a mistake? 3) How you can recover from it quickly? 4) How you can consistently do it right from now on? 5) Is doing what you did ever right?

It is very easy to read. Kind of like a Q&A book. A must read for people beginning to manage, like me!

I was pleased with the content, however I found that the phone numbers listed to contact certain organizations were no longer in service.

Looking to make a few extra bucks and start that business you've always dreamed about? If so, then this book could come in handy. It presents a lengthy introduction about how to start your own business, followed by the listing of the "101 best", which includes things like landscaping, photography, painting, etc. Each listing includes answers to six basic questions: 1. What will I be doing? 2. What will I need to start? 3. Who will my customers be? 4. How much should I charge? 5. How much will I make? and 6. How will I get started?

This book is meant as a beginners guide, and it should not be viewed any other way. The contents are very basic, and they do no go in- depth with any of these different home businesses. The author, Dan Ramsey, has written many books about small business. This one is really intended as a guide to show you the ropes, but not much else. It lets you know the minimum efforts/requirements needed to get started on your new part- time business.

Since this book was published back in 1996, it is already a little bit out of date. There are many technological businesses (using the internet and other high- tech) that are not described in this book because back when it was published, many of these businesses didn't exist yet. An updated edition of this book would be very helpful.

With only one or two pages dedicated to each of these "101 best", you will likely need more information if you really want to get serious about your chosen area of business. This book is nice for its brainstorming qualities, but you will certainly need to know more once you have decided to start.

This was the first book I have bought on this subject, and I thought it was excellent.

What I like is, if you are time-pressed, this book is an easy read over two or three days, or even while traveling. (The formatting and print quality are great!)

Secondly, if you are just getting into this subject, there are lots of ideas and things to consider here that the average person will not have thought of. It's a great inspiration!

By outlining the hurdles that exist in starting any businness they take out alot of the guess work involved in this complicated process.

Priscilla Huff has done it again! Nice coverage on a diverse topic list with a well organized table of contents to easily access the information you desire. Answers are condensed and right on target. Many leading experts, experienced consultants, and entrepreneurs contributed to this book. Definitely a solid resource for female entrepreneurs. (Men, too, but don't tell them. Why let the secret out?)
