The cover page of the book shows a lot of positivity. The author used a green background which signifies growth. I love the cover page.

The current cover design lacks impact without the title, potentially making it appear uninteresting to potential readers

I get why the author picked this cover, but I think it's really dull. I think using brighter colors and a different picture would make the title and message stand out more to the reader

The cover of the book appears dull and disconnected from its business theme. Adding colorful elements like office buildings or factories could enhance its appeal. The current imagery may not attract readers, as it doesn't seem relevant to the content. I'm curious if the cover will make more sense after reading.

Although the book's content focuses on businesses, I found the cover design to be surprisingly dull and unengaging. I believe that adding more vibrant colors and a more dynamic scenario would have made it more attention-grabbing. Even incorporating illustrations of office buildings or factories with some color would have made the cover more visually appealing.

I think that the cover is quite catchy even though the content is not really that easy to grasp. I feel like the colors look rather calming to prepare the readers for the content.

I found the book cover quite appealing. Its uniqueness caught my attention and piqued my interest.

The cover's design is cleverly deceptive - its serene colors and simple layout suggest a straightforward read.

It has a captivating cover that suggests a blend of whimsy and seriousness, reflecting its theme or storyline.

The book's cover is quite okay but I don't think it can draw readers in to read it. If people are going to pick this book up then it's definitely going to be as a result of it's title. ( in my honest opinion)

The cover shows a green and beautiful landscape, under a gentle sunset. This scene suggests themes of opportunity and introspection in entrepreneurship. It sets a hopeful tone, hinting at the transformative journeys discussed in the book.

The landscape is good to look at. Plus the green grass aligns with the themes of the book in many ways. Intellectual choice of design so yeah I thunk the cover is great.
