Review # 1 was written on 2015-01-21 00:00:00 Matt Semak This book is thoroughly engaging and easy to read regardless whether you understand business/financial terms or not. The author is admirably honest about the crash and failure of her own business (Red Letter Days), as are the various entrepreneurs she interviews such as Simon Woodroffe, Emma Harrison, Dawn Gibbins...etc Through this she offers valuable advice that apply to all aspects of businesses; expansion, cash control and even personal problems. I would recommend this for anyone who works or has an interest in business, both because of the huge array of entrepreneurial experience offered and the alluring style of her writing. Although this book may not appeal to everyone, I believe it's definitely worth a read (provisional of an interest in this area.)

Review # 2 was written on 2008-12-10 00:00:00 tatsunari yamada Rachel's an interesting and likeable 'business expert' having learned the hard way through the collapse of her 'Red Letter Days' in the full glare of publicity during her Dragon's Den days, as well as subsequent experiences. I saw her again recently at the UK National Business Networking event in Wolverhampton - organised by Brad Burton of 4Networking - and was prompted to reread her 'Business Nightmares' book. I read this book when it first came out but enjoyed it even more the second time around (and have flagged it to re-read again...) It's a great selection of stories of successful entrepreneurs who have gone through their own, mostly public, business nightmares. Most are well-known names and based on face-to-face interviews that Rachel managed to convince them to do. We often hear of the success stories of the famous; it's good - and to my mind more valuable - to hear of the failures, and learn from them.
