Description
Book Synopsis"Winget provides a wealth of sound entrepreneurial counsel customized for the beginner and covering everything from social media to time management." - Kirkus Reviews Larry Winget is NOT against starting your own business or becoming an entrepreneur. He is against doing it the wrong way, with no plan, little preparation and only your passion to rely on.
Larry often says people have been sold an old bag of “hooey” about what it takes to be successful in business. Forget passion, motivation, “loving what you do”, etc. Those things matter, but only a little. What really matters is finding a problem and solving it, serving your customer better than the competition, knowing how to sell and managing your time, resources and employees.
You will not only be asked the tough questions in this book, you’ll get the answers. Questions like: Is your business necessary? What problem does it solve? What need does it fill? What pain does it alleviate? What tangible benefit will the customer receive? What should I charge? What gives you the right to be in business?
