Good basics with some useful details for product-type businesses

I’ve been listening to a lot of books on starting a business. This goes over the basics of a product-based business with good details on legal business formats & types of accounting.
LLC vs. PLLC vs LLCP vs Corporations vs Sole Proprietorship.
The narrator reminded me of someone who reads bedtime stories. It was very matter of fact with boring inflection. Still worth listening to though.

It is a guide on starting your own company.

The book is somewhat of an entrepreneurial autobiography for the author himself, Mr. Greg Shields . Through his trial and tribulations he speaks from mostly personal experience when he purveys his ideas on the entrepreneurial journey. In this case, his journey and subjective experiences are immensely important. A prospective reader should note what kind of company he started and that advice coming from the purview of a B2C entrepreneur would likely be different in many aspects.
