In "The Successful Business Startup Action Guide," Husam S. AlSaleh gives valuable advice to upcoming entrepreneurs who are thinking about starting a business. Inside the pages of the book, the author talks about topics like deciding if the business idea is viable by looking at what problems it will solve and how many people will need that solution, how to identify your ideal customers and keep them by offering them the best value, what resources you will need to not only keep the business afloat but also make profits, what pitfalls to avoid, and how to formulate the best strategy for your business. For example, on how to evaluate the resources you will need, the author explains the importance of a healthy cash flow. I wish I could go deeper, but I don't want to spoil the book, so it would be wise to grab a copy.

I picked this book primarily because its description interested me, and I thought it would be a perfect book to review first in OBC. However, after finishing it, I feel like I am ready to go out and start a venture of my own. I was always afraid of business, especially after the few I attempted failed and went under. Thanks to this book, I can now see why they failed. Reading the book, I realized the mistakes I made and how I should have navigated the businesses then. I think the lessons are what I liked best about the book.

The book also has some awesome discoveries for you to explore. I would have revealed some that I found myself, but spoiling is against the rules here. Additionally, the author included his personal experiences to explain his points, which made the book relatable. The author's candid and honest approach was another thing I liked. I don't see any negative aspects to mention since I found none.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. To support my rating, I can say that, in addition to the highlights above, the book was exceptionally written. Also, I didn't find any negative aspects to justify any deduction from the rating. I recommend the book to new, upcoming, and established entrepreneurs who are interested in the nuances of starting and running a business. The book seems professionally edited because I only found a few minor errors.
