(This book could very easily walk a person step by step in very easy to understand language concerning home businesses - I would say that it has valuable resources as well as sharing on setting prices to your services.)
(I reviewed this book in 2005 when I was Bella's Business Coach Host - Editor - Writer)
Entrepreneurship feeds on opportunity.
If you are creative you will have opportunities to express yourself.
Technology provides small, one-person operations with many of the capabilities of
Fortune 500 companies.
You see the opportunities: you are willing to deal with the risks, and you understand that there are no guarantees.
He shares when it comes to selling your products and services, the only color that
should truly matter is green.
There has to be a meeting of the minds: "You inform" and "they want."
Marketing requires lots of imagination and creativity.
Today's business environment is truly global in scope. Globalization is the expansion of
economic opportunities made possible by technology and legislation that pulls down trade
barriers.
This book is designed to hold your hand and lead you step by step through the process
of gathering the information, and understanding needed to organize and manage a
successful home-based business.
The Internet is revoluntionizing the way information is used and transactions are carried
out. Learn as much as you can, but realize you will probably need some help to fully take
advanatge of its potential.
No two businesses are the same. This book is a guide.
He shares focus on your strengths. Don't try to be all things to all people.
Word of caution: A venture capitalist, is an opportunist. Be careful releasing your
business plans to just anyone, regardless of his or her supposed integrity. He's seen good
ideas stolen from naive, cash-starved entrepreneurs by those possessing a lack and the wherewithal to capitalize upon them.
As technology has grown, some businesses such as Internet Wholesalers, have the
potential to become international businesses without ever investing a nickel in a brick-
and-mortar storefront.
The author's advice is to get informed, get organized, and, as Martin Lawrence would say,
"Gits to steppin'!" (or going back a little further, back in the day, as Arsenio Hall
used to say, "Let's get busy!")
He does share that there are pros and cons of operating a Business at Home - it requires
a greater degree of sacrifice.
I would recommend this book to anyone wanted to learn more about starting and
or growing a home based business - small business.
