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.
