Publisher's summary

Jeff Bezos didn't come from money... He had an idea and a belief in himself that carried him forward. You can do that too. All you need is the right plan to follow...

When you start asking yourself the question of whether you can turn the seed of an idea into a thriving business, and you start looking at everything that’s required, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and feel like you’re in way over your head.

It’s daunting when you look at it all at once, but you’ve stumbled upon a lit path–a clear, 6-step process to launching a successful business.

As you listen to this comprehensive yet easy-to-follow roadmap to success, you’ll discover:

  • 6 effective and clearly-laid-out steps to turning your idea into a successful business–all the way from the preliminary paperwork to your goals of growth and expansion
  • Why your business structure is vital–and how to choose exactly the right one for you and your company
  • Everything you need to know about naming your business… and why your clever working title might not be your ticket to success
  • The murky world of startup paperwork demystified and made easy
  • Exactly how to get your business off the page and into a successful physical entity
  • What business owners often refuse to do, why it comes back to bite them… and how you can take a better path
  • How to build the ultimate business plan… and use it as a springboard for every ounce of growth you want to achieve
  • Why ‘SWOT research’ is going to be your secret weapon against your competitors (and how to use it with skill)
  • The secret to going above and beyond–and why you should do so at every turn

And much more.

If you believe in your idea, you have what it takes to launch–and maintain–a successful business that goes from strength to strength.

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

This book covers it all... and then some

From business plans to taxes and ownership considerations... This book covers all the big topics of starting a business. Despite discussions about lawsuits and liability, the author's encouragement throughout the book keeps those negative possibilities in the back of the mind. What sets this book apart is the additional PDF, which includes links to resources. Moreover, no book on business that I have read has covered the topic of lagniappe. That is my new favorite term.

PACKED WITH PRACTICAL INFORMATION

I loved the concise, no fluff delivery of usable information in this book !
Author clearly presents a step-by-step process of establishing a business, from vision to actuality. Also, the information found here is very broad in scope.
Needed light is shed on foundational areas such as business / legal structures, government registration, trademarks, business plans as well as competition analysis & marketing.
Less commonly know topics like outsourcing, virtual addresses & phone numbers are also assessed & well-presented.
I highly recommend this book for any aspiring business owner who seeks to proficiently launch their business in the direction of success.
Well done.

Great business plan to get you started

I am a newer business owner and still trying to figure some things out so in listening to this book, I realized a lot of the gaps I needed to start to fill in. Anytime you start a new business it can be very intimidating so having a book that can keep you on track like a checklist is extremely helpful. Step 3 delves into the world of outsourcing which is something that I had not thought of before. I never really thought about how beneficial some of the outsourcing could be. I figured it came with the territory that I needed to be the owner of each aspect of my company but learning to lean on others' expertise has been eye-opening.

Step 5 lays out a perfect blueprint for creating a business plan, creating your elevator speeches, a marketing plan, and even a customer service plan. It's like having a seasoned mentor by your side to help keep you moving and not get stuck on certain details. Owning and running a business can be very complex but I like that this book breaks it down for you so it's easily digestible. Highly recommend to anyone out there feeling overwhelmed with their new business.
