Author comments: I love helping people who want to take their careers into their own hands by creating their own ventures. From studying law and small business to being self-employed for 20-some years, I have developed a systematic approach to building ventures big and small. In this book I break down the major systems that every business person needs to master, and offer strategies to grow your business in line with your own goals and vision. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula to starting a business, so I try to offer guidance that does not assume what your goals are and provide tools that empower readers to pursue their vision, on their terms.
