Reviews
If you are looking to start a business and need a plan which is well structured, here it is. That is a real project plan with a step by step implementation from the stage of ideation to the stage of execution. I haven't seen such a detailed guide before and, having the experience of all the described stages, can definitely confirm that the book is very useful!
* NetGalley *Just reading the contents page of this book alone, you get a huge amount of value.
The ideas, tips, and strategy are clear, exceptionally well thought through and very practical.
Really pleased I bought it and highly recommend it!
Project Future has been invaluable to me in launching my new business. The step by step approach enabled me to make sure I had not missed anything important, as well as provide structure to the process which at times is confusing.
In particular I valued the actions, as this made the process very real and stopped me tripping myself up had I gone full steam ahead. Whilst I have now launched my business I continue to dip into it and re-read sections to sense check my thinking.
