The only source you need, January 23, 2000

R. Kingston (San Clemente, California) -

This review is from: Business Plans for Dummies (Paperback)

When we had the germ of an idea for a new company, I explored many sources for business plans including many computer CD progams. By comparison, others books generated more confusion than lucidity. Using Dummies as a template, we developed a great business plan that reflected exactly our challenges, prospects, and a road map for getting THERE. Save yourself time and money. Stick with this Dummies guide. R. Kingston

The best book available for writing your plan, March 25, 2000

Holden Westland -

This review is from: Business Plans for Dummies (Paperback)

Bypass the complete book of business plans and go right to this book. Not only did it assist me (tremendously!) in the writing of my plan, but I enjoyed it from both the perspective of useful information and it's concise yet comprehensive content. This book attempts to do what so many "how to" books fail to do... it tells you how to do what you're looking to do in a straightforward and matter-of fact way. There's not a lot of philosophizing in this book (yawn!) like you might find in others but rather an abundance of useful, timely and real world information. Writing a plan? Read this book!

Good Reference for Beginners and Intermediates Alike, March 21, 2004

B. McEwan "yellokat" (Brooklyn, NY USA) -

This review is from: Business Plans for Dummies (Paperback)

I've done a number of business plans in my time and bought this book as a gift for a friend who wants to start her own business. I purchased it because it includes all of the basics needed to develop a business plan that will guide you as you start and build your business and will also give you the credibility you need to secure outside financing. This is a very good step-by-step guide for those completely new to business and an excellent refresher guide for those who already know the basics.

And, by the way, you can skip the companion Dummies book called Business Plans Kit, which covers the same ground as this book but includes a CD-ROM that doesn't add much value. The truth is, this book is cheaper and offers just as much help as the larger and more expensive kit version.

Just what I wanted, but..., December 5, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: iTALKonline BLACK Executive Wallet Case Cover Skin Cover with Credit / Business Card Holder For Apple iPhone 4 4S (2011) 4G HD (Electronics)

It actually has 3 credit-card slots (I was only expecting 2), and an additional pocket beneath where you can stick your cash. The phone is totally uninhibited in this case, unlike other cases where the phone is cumbersome to use. I do like the case, and want to eliminate having a separate billfold and phone case.

Update - the credit card slots are way too tight. It's nearly impossible to insert cards or IDs into them. Maybe they will wear a little over time, but they are so tight I may never find out as they really are unusable.

Even better than expected, December 12, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: iTALKonline BLACK Executive Wallet Case Cover Skin Cover with Credit / Business Card Holder For Apple iPhone 4 4S (2011) 4G HD (Electronics)

I've used the same folio-style case for an iPod Touch 1G and 4G, and I was really happy to find an option for the iPhone 4, as well. Without too many reviews and limited pictures, you're never quite sure if you'll be getting a usable case, so I was very pleased that this one worked out so well.

That said, on to the details:

The leather (or leather-like; I can't tell, and the product description doesn't specify) is handsome and the flap and backing is sturdy, unlike some other folio-style cases. The stitching is high-quality, and I expect it will last a long time. The leather will probably scuff pretty easily, but I like the distressed look.

The magnetic clasp initially worried me because I figured it wouldn't be strong enough, but it's actually fine. If I kept credit cards in there, though, I don't know if it would close far enough for the magnet to catch.

Unlike many folio cases (older Belkin folios and the BookBook Case comes to mind), this case design does not block any controls, cameras, or sensors. There are no straps or elastic bands holding the device in place; the plastic clips on the edges snap it in and hold it securely.

The leather flap folds all the way back so it's out of the way when using the iPhone, either as a phone or in general (games, email, browsing). If you've never had a similar folio case, it might take some getting used to, but I personally like that there's more to hold onto than the thin iPhone, and it certainly doesn't get in the way.

A previous reviewer mentioned the extremely tight credit card slots. I agree; they're pretty snug. The interior leather is pliant enough that I think you could stretch it to accommodate cards. That's not what I use them for, though. I keep a few business cards in there instead. The pocket for cash is handy, too.

I do have one nitpick: The plastic brackets that snap the iPhone in are set juuust a hair too narrow. The iPhone still snaps in fine and is held extremely securely, but when I look at it end-on, I can see that they're bending out just a bit on one side to accommodate it. This also means that, over time, the leather backing might separate from the glued-in bracket. It's hard to explain, and I don't think it will be a problem, but it's worth noting.

Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this case. With the rapid turn-over in case styles and availability, I'm even considering purchasing another as backup for when this one gets beaten up after a year or two.

It was great. Ideas are flowing like never before., October 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Get Ideas (Paperback)

Jack Foster's book "How to get ideas" helped our company create the atmosphere that we needed to generate excitement and, of course, ideas. I didn't think it was possible to teach others how to get ideas until I read Foster's book. I used to think that ideas just happened or that some people were naturally more creative then others.

Foster suggests excercises and step by step instructions in a format that is fun and easy to read.

My biggest temptation was to rip through the pages without taking the time to stop and absorb what I had just read. So I read it twice. Make that three times.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has to get the creative juices going but just doesn't know how. If you're naturally creative but run into an occasional roadblock this book will suggest a detour to get you back on track. 5-stars.

A REAL IDEA IS RARE., May 26, 2000

Henry Caroselli (California) -

This review is from: How to Get Ideas (Paperback)

"I spent 6 years as the Advertising Creative Director for Disneyland and 20+ years in the advertising agency business. I can comfortably say that I know the power of an idea. I know that what most people call ideas aren't real ideas. A real idea is quite rare, very precious, and requires careful nurturing so it can grow into a powerful force. Jack's book outlines the process of what it takes to come up with a real idea - and how to persevere until that idea has a life of its own. Jack's book is a must read if you want to get in (or want to stay in) the idea business."

Thinking the Einstein way, May 4, 2007

Frank S. Joseph (Chevy Chase MD) -

This review is from: How to Get Ideas (Paperback)

"Albert Einstein said his best ideas came to him while he was shaving," Jack Foster writes in "How to Get Ideas" (2nd ed.). When I read that line, what could I do? I put the book down for a moment and went to shave.

That's about the only time I stopped reading though, and you won't be able to put it down either. For boosting creativity, this book is a lifesaver.

Foster's advice is simple -- have fun, think like a child again, open your mind to new possibilities -- but not necessarily obvious. Most of us do the same old things and think in the same old ways. Foster aims to help us spot these unhelpful patterns, then break out with easy-to-follow tips and stimulating exercises.

And anecdotes. Foster draws on decades of experience as a top creative hand in major advertising agencies, where he encountered guys and gals driven by curiosity -- people who found out how much a ten-gallon hat will hold (three-quarters of a gallon) and how many times per day an African elephant will defecate (16). Illustrating how to solve a problem by stepping around it, Foster tells the story of the woman who solved the slow-elevator problem in her building -- by mounting mirrors in the lobby. (How did she do it? See P. 134.)

You'll discover how to overcome the fears that keep you from thinking creatively ... easy ways to gather information ... combining unrelated facts for new ideas ... the five steps for getting great new ideas ... and how to put them to work for YOU.

You'll finish reading "How to Get Ideas" in an hour or two. But you'll benefit from its advice for the rest of your life.
