“A big business starts small.” - Richard Branson
This brief book gives readers a solid start on taking their careers in an exciting (and sometimes scary) new direction: entrepreneurship! It’s the dream of many, but it’s all-too-often only achieved by the few, usually due to the lack of a good foundation. This guide offers up the basics, including having the right mindset, where to start, and the perils and terrors of striking out on one’s own, plus much more!
This Book Will Teach You to Start Your Own Business is the perfect starting point for those who are considering jumping to another career track and going into business for themselves, whether fresh out of college or already in a traditional work environment. The thought is both exhilarating and scary! Entrepreneurship is praised as the ticket to greater things: work for yourself, set your own hours, do what you love with passion and creativity, and get rich! Unfortunately, these rosy descriptions tend to leave out a lot of the boring and hard day-to-day work that gets you there, things like taxes, legal issues, employees (if you need them), marketing, and dozens of other things. If you want to start your own business, how do you do it without falling into despair, or just giving up?
This guide will teach you the basics and give you a good grounding for the foundations you’ll need to lay in order to get started on the right footing. What goals are realistic? How much money can you invest? How much time can you invest? Should you keep your day job while planning out your new life in self-employment? (Yes, you should!) Brief but helpful discussions of all of these questions and much more will help you make the right choices and give your new business the chance it deserves to be the success you want it to be!
