This is well written. 100 pages covering the basics for someone with a interest in how to get started.
Ch.4 on "nice to have" vs "need your solution" is especially good because it's where many companies fail.

#12Way too much fluff, filler, unimportant (at this stage) information, and latent Salesforce sales pitches. A much better resource without all the bullshit (and it's even on sale): http://www.singlefounderhandbook.com/

#13Yikes, hopefully it doesn't contain a chapter on building a training course, with something as sad as #trailhead where contestants, sorry certified solution experts, dress up in Halloween outfits and post selfies to twitter for extra badges...

#14The joke of this piece of content marketing is SalesForce, as a CRM, specifically does NOT gracefully handle reoccurring revenue in its product.
So, if you want to run a SaaS business w/ SFDC, be prepared to jump through constant hoops for auto-renewing / re-occur "closed won" opportunities.

SFDC is very flexible, and you could customize SFDC to handle this. Let me know if you need help.

Interesting suggestion. Didn't know the book until now. Did you read it? What's your general impression?

Following on from this, what are the best/recommended epub readers for the desktop? (Windows in particular) I don't have an eBook reader and it's not a format I've dealt with before.
http://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/free-pdf-reader.html It's my goto PDF and epub reader.
You could have mentioned it is Windows only. Thanks for suggesting it though.

So instead of a free epub, I should spend $199 on this other book. Do you have any financial ties to the link to disclose?

What successful company has Taber solo founded? The about section on that marketing page doesn't really inspire me to fork over $199.
