Hi there
Just wondered if anyone had read this book by the founders of not on the high street and if so was it any good. I am thinking of buying the book and before i do just wondered if anyone had read it as have started a small soy wax candle business and reckon the book may be useful.
Thanks in advance

No, but can't you see if the library has it?

I read half of it then lost interest- can't remember why now though.. The first few chapters were very biographical and not really what I was looking for. Also they talk a lot about the luck they had of starting during the rise of the internet/e-commerce which obviously has been and gone now. If it's cheap it's worth a read as it has lots Of checklists and a few helpful pointers for motivation/productivity Grin

Hi CanTo.

DH did but he wasn't too keen on it.

He read this though which he liked: The Lean Startup: How Constant Innovation Creates Radically Successful Businesses www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0670921602/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_l82Kub1464N3F

We've been running an online business for over 4 years. I've read this book but didn't find it useful - there are lots of factors about their business which is different from selling products direct to customers (essentially they deal with retailers who sell products, they don't sell products directly themselves).

Hi Davidjuniormum managed to borrow it from a friend and agree, I am planning on selling direct to customers so lots not useful, what did you find useful
