All in all it was good
A friend of mine told me I had to have this if I was starting a new businesss. I liked that it gave a lot of good information but I felt like it was a little to much in some areas and nit enough in others but all in all it is a great reference guide!

Anatomy of a business plan ofrece conocimientos mas que suficientes sobre planes de negocio.
Es un libro que aporta muchos conocimientos y los presenta de manera muy clara y con explicaciones; su caracteristica mas destacable son los ejemplos de planes de negocio reales que presenta (seran unos 7-8), ayudan muchisimo a la comprension de la teoria. La razon por la cual no le doy las 5 estrellas es debido a que la lectura se hace extremadamente pesada por la forma en la que se narra el libro; se aproxima mas a un libro teorico apto para universidades que a libros como "The Lean Sturtup" o "The Founder's Dilemmas", pero dado que la razon principal por la cual se lee un libro asi es por el conocimiento que se adquiere y no por pasarlo bien, solo le quito una estrella, porque el primer apartado lo cumple muy bien. Por ultimo cabe destacar que si tu objetivo es crear tu primera start-up este libro ayuda mucho a entender el funcionamiento y necesidades de una empresa ya formada y de una startup de manera MUY general.
