This book is a great source of info for many different aspects - haven't finished it yet, but was definately a worthwhile purchase and read

Es sind wirklich ein paar gute Tips und Ideen enthalten, jedoch sind die meisten Informationen zu Gesetzen und Auflagen nur für "Geschäftsgründer" im Vereinigten Königreich oder USA nützlich. Daher nur 3 Sterne.

I really love this book. It delivers exactly what it promises. Lots of helpful advice, specific instructions, and easy to read. I've read other books on starting your own crafty business and they were not as helpful. They had too much fluff and too wishy-washy with "following your dreams." I wanted real action steps and how to do them. This book is just that!
