Does anyone subscribe to this and recommend it?  I am in the process of picking out some magazines and I`m trying to decide between that and SmartMoney, The Economist, BusinessWeek and Conde Nast Portfolio.  I don`t want a magazine that`s focused on the tech market because that`s not the type of business I want to start.  I`m planning to do retail (i.e., clothing, accessories, giftware) and would like a publication that can help me with the nuts and bolts.

Also, if you have some good books to recommend, please pass along the titles!  Thank you!

I get Entrepreneur magazine.  I read it front to back every time it shows up.  They cover all types of differnet businesses.  From taking inventions to market to buying franchises.  Very interesting and informative.

The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber - can not recommend it enough.

-------------------------

Joy Slaughter - A Capital Solution - giving you the time to do what truly brings you joy Providing remote administrative support to the holistic/healing arts community

I recommend Business2.0 a Time, Inc. subsidiary.  Business 2.0 is published monthly, except bi-monthly Jan and Feb. ~an excellent mag for any business.

To compliment Joy`s recommendation: E-Myth Mastery, also by Michael Gerber.

Even though it has more of a political viewpoint than an entrepreneurial focus, I`m a fan of The Economist..........here`s a link to give gift subscriptions for $69.99.  Pretty good deal for this particular rag. 

 

EDIT - I can`t get the link to become active in the forum for some reason....if you`re interested, just send me a msg and I`ll get the info to you.

Diddo on E-myth Revisted by  Michael Gerber!

I also recommend The Purple Cow by Seth Godin.

Hi Joe,

Doesn`t look like anyone`s given a plug to Inc Magazine, but I`d highly recommend it. Always a great read.

In terms of books, check out `Leading at the Speed of Growth - Journey from Entrepreneur to CEO` by the Kauffman Foundation.

Enjoy,

Andrew
