- Inspirational
- This is a lightweight read in terms of pages, but has quality content and is worth the asking price.
Seth Godin gives the reader some key points to think over before starting their own business.
This is not strictly a step-by-step how-to and is not greatly laden with detail, but it covers the main concepts to bear in mind and is something you can go to again and again for inspiration.
Like a few other of Seth Godin's books, this one gives heart to the small business operator that they can be in a position of advantage when pitted against the corporate giants, providing smart thinking and actions are followed.
What also sets this apart from alot of "run your own business books" is that it is enjoyable and fun to read.
That makes it easy and quick to read, which means that if you buy it, you will read it, unlike many other business books three times the size of this one. - 2006-07-27, 5 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Genius Thinker, Seth Godin, is always worth the read
- Seth provides us all with so many great ideas and noteworthy observations, it is simply amazing. He does it again, with Bootstrappers Bible. Even if you already know everything about starting and running a small business, Seth will inspire you to look deeper and think longer. Buy this book no matter what level you are at in business. You will absolutely find at least one gem, for sure.

- On my way and feel much more confident...
- Some book readings are affected greatly by your mood (well at least that's how I feel about advice book or self help book). That's how, sometimes, my opinions differ from the other Amazon.com's reviewers. The Bootstrapper's Bible is not one of them. This book certainly changed my entrepreneur outlook. I felt more confident knowing all the common senses and common mistakes that entrepreneurs should or should not make in the first place.
I encouraged two important people in my life to read this "short e-booklet"; my brother (the bravest entrepreneur in the world) and my best friend (a born to be entrepreneur, but hasn't gathered all his courages to be one), hoping that they can be more succesful and more confident.
Describing this e-booklet in this review would be an insult to Mr. Seth Godin, because the e-booklet is short (65 pages), very easy to read, and very cheap. Buy it (it's cost lest than 3 bucks) and let me know what you think. - 2005-04-11, 9 of 9 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- A word to the wise
- This book gives the reader wisdom and insight in things to think about before you start a business. Mr. Godin's willingness to share his experiences is greatly appreciated by this reader.

- Excellent book
- This book is an example of what a business book should be -- plain advice about how to go about starting and running a business. Seth Godin's book is the equivelant of having a very experienced business advisor to assist you. This is not a book about conceptual business ideals, this is a practical guide to managing the important aspects of business - cash flow, revenue, sales, etc.
