Summary

Free PDF version of this audiobook will be included with your purchase!

Do you want to launch a startup, start a small business, or set up a home-based business?

Are you considering the jump from employee to entrepreneur or from employee to self-employed?

Are you a first-time entrepreneur or a new business owner?

Do you have concerns about what you should or should not do to succeed in your new enterprise?

If you’ve answered yes, keep reading.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 20 percent of startups do not live past their second year, and many more fail before their fifth year. Have you ever wondered why many new businesses fail so quickly after their inception? 

Over my decade-long journey of entrepreneurship, learning and observing other small companies, I've come to realize the importance of a few aspects when starting, launching, and growing a business. 

This book identifies the most common mistakes made by beginners and new entrepreneurs and how to avoid them.

If you employ the advice in this audiobook, you’ll get to learn:

  • How to avoid the dangers and pitfalls that would otherwise sink your enterprise
  • How to set up a profitable business
  • How to set your new venture up for success

This book is a quick-start guide that will teach you the basics you need to know for your first steps in the entrepreneurship world.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Motivating and practical.

This book is very functional, clearly written, and well narrated. It goes through the crucial steps for starting a business and goes beyond what you learn in business school (I am a business major). I would recommend it if you started or are on the cusp of venturing into business entrepreneurship.

Stuff I never thought about

I was expecting this book to have the basic "know your math" "don't get screwed" type of basic information, but I was actually pretty impressed that this book covers essentials that most people wouldn't think of. For example, the fact that your company needs 1 basic goal and value to succeed, so that everyone is on the right page and directing their energy and time to the same place, is absolutely essential, but I didn't know that. These are cool tips that are out of the box. Great tips!

SO much valuable information

Being an entrepreneur is scary and risky, and you honestly can't go into it without research and information. The author understands this as they have 10+ years of experience and they dive deep into every aspect of starting your own business. This book has practical and easy to understand information, highlighting the do's and don'ts of entrepreneurship.

I was honestly surprised at all of the common mistakes that most entrepreneurs make when starting up and this book goes into it and how to avoid it. I really enjoyed the step by step guide that is laid out for you, it is so practical and helpful.

My Husband and I loved this book and are grateful that we bought it; definitely give it a read if you are serious about your success and your business.
