Reviews on our bestselling software survival guide, Don't Hire a Software Developer Until You Read this Book:
"EXCELLENT book! I’m getting ready to do my first SaaS, and your book was the mentor I’ve been looking for. You’ve saved me hundreds of hours (and probably tens of thousands of dollars) in trial and error."
(Message sent in to Purposeful Group via email)
"Just sending more love for your Don't Hire a Software Developer book. I'd be so lost without it...
Thanks again, :-) Dan."

"Still reading your book and I have to say it is the best book on the subject I've ever read. Pretty much the other books I've read on this subject seem to have an obvious ulterior motive, which is to sell further knowledge. Although I have no objection to that, I find your book to be far more informational to draw that conclusion. I love for dummies books and I would compare yours to those types. Thanks Kay!"

So I'm one of those people that "have an idea." I had no clue where to start... and reached out to a friend that knew a developer. For whatever reason, that developer never got back to me and that provided me a chance to start researching the app creation process. Of what I've read, this was one of the BEST books on the subject. Had that developer gotten back to me when I called him, I would have spent a small fortune and totally jumped the gun on the process... I highly recommend this book, I've got pages marked all over my copy to reference and go back and read again. Even if you've already started your process, this book can give you insight to what you may have overlooked (...it showed me a lot that I hadn't thought about).

what do amazon customers say about our books?
"The material inside was detailed, examining aspects of customer classification and market research as well as legal considerations and protections that I hadn't heard in other related texts... It is worth going through the book multiple times as information will pop out at you on subsequent reads. I am applying the material to a current personal project."
Amazon review for Develop Your Idea!
"This book ended so much frustration and confusion."
Amazon review for Don't Hire a Software Developer Until You Read this Book
"The only problem with this book is that it didn’t come sooner... [It] would have prevented me from several mistakes that cost $$$.
I recommend that you read [it] from cover to cover—an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!"
Amazon review for Don't Hire a Software Developer Until You Read this Book
"As a non-technical person (HR Manager). I found this to be an incredibly practical step by step guide for anyone involved in the decision making surrounding software selection and implementation. Well written, user friendly and easy to follow. Brilliant guides, toolkits, diagrams and checklists."
Amazon review for Don't Buy Software for your Small Business Until You Read this Book
"As an aspiring author and blogger, I found a ton of resources and advice helpful to me personally, though most of it will help anyone with a small business or any other kind of enterprise. The most helpful section for me, was the one on actually creating content and then how to market that."
Amazon review for Entrepreneurial Espresso
"I am a Non-technical Software entrepreneur, I felt like I was in a maze while trying to develop my 1st software.
Every turn during the planning stage seems to have a new surprise and new info hiding in the corner.
Information from Google and my young IT nephew was good but wasn't enough to give me that juice every entrepreneur needs and recognize when we find it. After months of wondering in the wilderness, I decided to go the old school route and get some books from Amazon and self learn. Luckily for me,one of the books i bought was 'Don't Hire a Software Developer Until You Read This Book.'
While reading this amazing book is the special moment when I experienced what I call my software epiphany!
I highly recommend this book for both technical and non technical readers and suggest it should be kept as a go to reference all through your journey in the maze of the software industry. Kudos to the author for a splendid job."
