This short but powerful e-booklet contains 80 rules and words of advice for anyone about to start a business or who has just started out in business. When I started out in business many years ago, I was so passionate, driven, determined and, ignorant. Don't get me wrong. I had my skills and I knew how to make my products, so my ignorance wasn't about my knowhow. Instead, I lacked knowledge about what exactly it will take for me to start a business and succeed at it.Over the years, I have met entrepreneurs and businesspeople who have told me they wished someone could have given them a complete picture of the reality of life as an entrepreneur. They felt this information would have helped them assess themselves and therefore decide whether they had all it took to proceed with their startup or to look for an alternative such as a job.The thing is, I also felt such a need when I was starting out. I had read countless biographies of people like Bill Gates and Larry Ellison. I admired how they succeeded and the obstacles they had to surmount to get to where they currently are. However, most of the books I read about these entrepreneurs were not written by them and so could not provide a completely true picture.This e-booklet was written to solve this problem. If you have ever wondered what the demands of entrepreneurship are for most people, this book will provide you with a real picture from the real experiences of many successful people.
