Every year, millions of people around the world start businesses, and by experience, a high proportion of those Start-ups are created by those currently employed. Since there are no longer jobs for life, many are opting to take charge of their own future by setting up businesses they can drive and control. Also, the internet offers many opportunities such as; the ability to work from home while raising a family, convenience, efficiency, closeness with sellers/buyers, and the intrinsic value of being able to create a better working life balance. All in all, we see more people taking on the mantle of starting their own businesses! However, along with this good news comes the challenge of being able to create a business that grows and avoids the statistics of becoming one of the many failed ventures. Therefore, it is important to adequately understand what will be involved in running a business, and how to navigate around pitfalls. This book has been written as a practical approach to help those in employment who are considering starting a business, along with the personal challenges they need to overcome and how to create a route to success. My goal is that as you read through the content, it will spark the desire to build with the right foundation, so that the storms of life will not erode your dream of owning and running a successful enterprise!
