Who’s this workbook for?

This workbook was designed for anyone who feels the pull of self-reliance and self-employment. It’s also great for anyone who started their business in the last few years and is wondering if they did it right, but the real audience is the first-time entrepreneur.

If you’ve never started a business before, you probably don’t know all the tiny details that need to be taken care with regard to licenses, taxes, finances, banking, insurance, and all the other “stuff” you’ll need to take care of in your business. You’ll figure it out eventually (we all do), but life will be a lot easier if you figure out before you make too many mistakes.

I had an outline of this book in the works for years until a friend of mine sent me an email. He said that, after years of thinking about it, he was finally going to quit his job and start his own business. Then he asked me to put together “the big checklist” of every single thing he needs to know. Immediately, I told him that there are things you have to do before you quit your job. Then there are things you need to do right when you launch the new business. And, finally, there are things that you’ll need to get right the first year on your own.

And POOF! That was the organization of this book: Planning, Launching, and Year One.

Almost everything you’ll find here falls into the category, “Stuff I wish someone told me before I started my business.” In other words, it’s all great advice from someone who has built, bought, sold, and run businesses for more than twenty-five years.

Never forget: Running a business is a never-ending balancing act. The world keeps changing. The tools change, the technology changes, and the customers change. You will make mistakes. And it’s always harder than it sounds like to non-business owners. But running your own business is one of the most rewarding things you’ll ever do. If you’re excited about the prospect of independence and the rewards of self-employment, then this book is for YOU!

Paperback Workbook is 8.5″ x 9″

In the long run, it doesn’t matter whether the economy is up or down, shrinking or growing: Businesses with a plan always do better than businesses without a plan! Whether the economy is growing or shrinking, it’s always a great time to bring a little balance in your life, slow down a bit, and put things in perspective.

Some people are facing personal and business challenges as they look ahead. Others are hoping that this is their time to shine and break out from the crowd. Whatever your situation, it is much better to have a future that’s planned instead of an unknown future that will simply happen to you.
