I consider it a must have for anyone contemplating a business. I especially love the entrepreneur interviews at the end of the book,along with the appendix resources that share the information every owner should study--the lessons learned from prior business experiences in which the entity was required to pivot, or failed. I hope all prospective founders read this book from cover to cover before they begin."
