Business Strategy in 30 Days review
A $17.99 ebook promising a business strategy in thirty days, credited to a doctor with a degree nobody awards.
Pass
A small business owner working reactively does benefit from sitting down and writing a plan, and thirty daily prompts is a defensible way to force that. The claims around it are where this goes wrong. The listing opens with the line that ninety percent of small businesses stall after year one, a statistic it does not source and which does not match published survival data. It then credits a doctor with a PhD in Business Building Without Investment and thirty-three years of experience, a degree that does not exist and which reappears on another title here under a different name. For a strategy framework, free templates from small-business agencies are more concrete and come with worked examples.

Thirty days of prompts
Strengths and weaknesses, a staged framework, goals, marketing and sales basics, then revision.
Forcing thirty short planning sessions is a reasonable format for a plan nobody ever writes.
The opening number is unsourced
The claim that ninety percent of small businesses stall after year one is stated without a source.
Published survival statistics are considerably kinder than that, and vary by sector and country.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Edith Martinez with a PhD in Business Building Without Investment and 33 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across all 84 titles from this seller: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 316000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
