I read your book over the weekend. It has a lot of good information about which characteristics should be looked at and how they should be valued when choosing a business. I like how you implemented how important it is to be responsible, having good character and knowing what things are really important in life.

I didn't like that the book discouraged from having employees/co-owners in start-ups. It's impossible for a business to reach its full potential without employees and excellent leaders.
The book has some sound leadership advice, but it was always directed towards a customer/website and not a employee.




MJ I wish you would create a start-up that involved employees and then work on developing the employees and sharing the work/responsibility until the business can run without its creator. Then revise your book with what you learned.
