      Can you really get what you need to start a business in two hours? Yes, the basics are here. You will find the steps necessary to start one here in the two hours, but then you have many more hours of work to do. This was a well written guide, using terms most can understand without extra frills and wasted points. It get's right into the whats the hows the detailed business planning you need there are no wasted words. If you aren't looking to start a business this is a good quick educational read for you. Many of us lacked any real business education in school this fills in the gapes nicely.
      I would recommend this to any person thinking of starting a business. You can see what is ahead of you. An extra amount of education never hurts.
