7 Steps to a Successful Startup – Simple Lessons Before You Quit Your Day Job App Reviews

I want my money back. Dont buy this or you will feel the same. I just finished an entrepreneurship competition and this is exactly what goes into a business plan; however, this is not worth the asking price. There are ONLY 15 PAGES! (including info on the authors ego, a prilogue and epiloque, and other worthless crap) and its common sense stuff. Moreover, it doesnt tell you how to accomplish the steps, just that the steps exist. Just Google the steps and save yourself money. There are other, better sources out there and most are free.

Good content for sure... But very short and perhaps too sweet. Having more content doesnt necessarily mean better though.

As someone with entrepreneurial ambitions I am surprised at some of the low ratings this book has received. Perhaps the ratings are driven by incorrect expectations. If someone wants to turn into an entrepreneur by spending $0.99 on iTunes, well then the person is bound to be dissatisfied. The target audience for this book is someone venturing into the realm of entrepreneurship and wondering when is the right time to jump off the cliff - this book explains, in simple terms, what it takes to have a parachute when jumping off the cliff. "The 7 Steps" listed in the book may seem obvious but, many a time, are taken for granted and are often not given enough significance in the initial stages of the venture as the entrepreneur is wrapped around his/her own reasons (usually emotional, and at times, egoistical) as to why the venture should be brought to light. Unless a "would be" entrepreneur has satisfactory answers to the seemingly obvious questions in the book, the individual is not ready to get the venture off the ground, without introducing a very high degree of failure-risk. The book is a simple read, focuses on the crux of what it takes to be an entrepreneur, and more importantly, highlights when it is the right time to quit your day job. Concise and yet meaningful reads on the topic of entrepreneurship do not come any simpler than this. Highly recommended!

This is a terrific book, one that anyone with entrepreneurial interests should read. Street-smart advice, clearly laid out in an easy to grasp structure. This book distills the lessons learnt from real world experience into a concise format. An absolute gem!

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. The authors style is direct and to the point. It helps the reader focus and understand key takeaways. Examples from personal experiences help cement theory with real life examples. Readers can gain valuable fund raising tips to maximize their chances of success. The concise and complete nature will appeal to many entrepreneurs who find it difficult to go through voluminous readings.

Excellent book with easy to understand advise on evaluating an entrepreneurial opportunity. The content reflects the authors experience. I would prefer to read this book rather than 300 page text books filled with theoritical and academic content.

This book provides solid advice for would-be entrepreneurs. There is plenty of information out there on how to accomplish individual tasks, but this is a great big picture perspective that can prevent you from going down the rabbit hole before you are ready. A great value IMHO.

This is a great read for anyone who is a budding entrepreneur; there are a lot of good tips and suggestions packed into a small package. For the price, you cant go wrong!

A great book that helps to think of a business opportunity in a structured way and realistically assess its potential to become a successful venture. It also offers practical advice that enables one to adequately prepare for the journey and increase the odds of success. I highly recommend this book to anyone considering starting a business.

Worth every penny - basics that most would-be enterprenuers seem to ignore in the rush to launch the next big idea

As a career & LIfe Coach based in the Silicon Valley, about 15% of my new clients are budding entrepreneurs. An even greater percentage of my clients come from failed ventures wanting to go back to their day jobs to redeem their financial and social standing. When I explore with this latter category of clients, why they got to where they are now, I often find that they had ignored some of the most basic explorations lucidly presented in Neem Zafars 7-Steps app. In just 35 pages Naeem has distilled his learnings in a compelling and cogent message that are quite profound. For a casual reader or a cynic they may appear commonsensical, but if you reflect on them they are truly quite profound. Now that I have seen this gem I am going to require all those who come to me wanting to go into a venture of their own, this little guide is going to be a required reading. A dollar very well spent!

The book has terrific insights for wannabe entrepreneurs. You are going to be spending significant amount of time and money on your venture. To make yourself better equipped for that journey, the $3.99 spent on this book will be worth every single penny!!!

I am someone who aspires to be a serial entrepreneur and I found this app quite helpful. I thought it was to the point and achieves its goal of providing the "path" to starting a business.

Naeems book is to-the-point, personal, honest, and instructive. Using analogies such as a dartboard on a wall to describe market size, emphasizing the importance of teamwork, the value of reaching out to get input, and many more constructive recommendations, the book provides an easy-to-follow checklist to evaluate the viability of a new venture. This way a prospective entrepreneur can concentrate his or her efforts on being the most productive and efficient, increasing the chances for success.

This is excellent.a crystal clear and concise to do list for anyone contemplating starting a new business. As a CPA as well as a businessman, I think this is a "must read" before anyone can move forward to the business plan stage.

Thanks to the developers and the application....this so clear and great for every person capable of invent , create or develop any idea entrepreneurial ..... thanks and keep the good work...and off course the free app....and content...great ebook Naeem zafar...
