How to Build a Small Business: Startup
Ralph Hershberger · 2013
52/100
👎 Skip It
Ralph Hershberger has real startup-advisory chops, which gives this some credibility, but it reads as a compilation of short articles with links rather than a deeply developed book. Decent starting point, thin as a standalone read.
