In my line of work I’m lucky to get to meet some amazing people. Business owners, entrepreneurs, celebrities, Internet celebrities – all kinds of people. One such individual is [Ebong Eka](http://www.ebongeka.com/)
.

A former European professional basketball player, this larger than life entrepreneur, CPA, and business coach is the real deal. His book *[Start Me Up! – The No-Business-Plan Business Plan](http://s3th.me/ebongbook)* proves this.

Published in 2014, Ebong’s book gives the reader a no B.S. approach to coming up with a business idea and then executing on it properly. He addresses the fears and doubts of starting out on your own, coming up with a great idea, how to prove it’s feasibility, how to setup your corporate structure, and finally how to make your business grow and succeed.

At only 223 pages this book is a quick read, essential read. To be honest this book should be required reading in business schools across the country.

Some of the topics discussed in the book:

- Fears and Doubts
- Invention vs. Innovation
- Small Business Pitfalls
- The Four S’s
  - Structure
  - Strategy
  - Systems
