Description
Book Synopsis“The daily roller coaster for an entrepreneur can include both terror and exhilaration. Small Business Big Pressure reminds us success does not come from luck, wishes, or dreams, but from careful planning directed by godly wisdom.”
- Dan Miller, New York Times bestselling author of 48 Days to the Work You Love
Your small business is controlling you; take back what you rightfully own.
Small businesses make our country great. However, the challenges facing entrepreneurs and small business owners can be overwhelming. Business schools don’t prepare owners for the real world. As a result, entrepreneurs may experience worry, pressure, and confusion. It is then just a matter of time before the entrepreneur suffers a breakdown. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Small Business Big Pressure is a collision of wisdom and knowledge designed for the 20-year business veteran or the soon-to-be entrepreneur. When a business owner aligns all facets of his company with God, something special happens.
In the context of aligning with God’s will, with
Small Business Big Pressure you will be able to:
- Build a mission and vision statement
- Accomplish personal and professional goals
- Read and apply financial statements
- Hire, train, and fire employees effectively
- Build a company identity and inspire your team
Not only will this book give you solid principles, a real tested-in-the trenches entrepreneur shows you how to put these principles into practice immediately! You will be compelled to keep the book close by through your entire career, both as a unique reference and a source of inspiration.
