Small Business Toolbook

Many entrepreneurs go into business for themselves because they want to call their own shots, control their destiny, and make as much money as they think is appropriate. Also, they happen to be very good at something. Unfortunately, whatever unique skills they may possess, these skills alone often are not enough to ensure business success, especially as the company starts to grow. The fact is, growing a small business requires its own particular skill set-a certain entrepreneurial know-how. That’s what PRO’s Small Business Workbook provides. As a small business owner three times over-and having owned a business with worldwide distribution and over 1000 employees-I learned a long time ago that when I needed help or guidance, my best resource was my fellow entrepreneurs-wise, generous friends who’d already been there, done that, and were willing to share their lessons learned. I learned concepts and strategy and gained enhanced accountability from my peer board participation.
