If you expect me to describe to you the perfect business that cannot fail, forget it; there is no such thing. No single business fits every person’s goals and talents. No business fits in every geographic area. No business fits every individual’s financial resources.
There are many reasons for owning your
own business. The most common is to just
control your own destiny. Maybe you just
want to create a job for yourself. Some of you are just looking for an
investment. A few of you want to build a
business empire. There are hundreds of
other reasons. I hope this book can help
you find the right option to meet your individual goals.
Some of you think you already know the
direction you want to go and are just looking for help in certain areas. For example, you may want to turn a hobby
into a full-time business and are just looking for financing.
You are now tempted to read only the
chapters on independent start-up businesses and financing. Please don’t make this mistake. Read the entire book, You don’t know what you don’t know. You may discover that an independent start-up
business does not meet your goals.
Starting a business can be frustrating
and expensive. I started a business in
1984. I worked out of my home. I had attorneys, accountants, and bank trust
officers all working pro bono. I put in
some long hours. Once I worked
thirty-six hours straight to complete some financial projections.
Late into the hours of a particularly
frustrating night, jotted down my thoughts.
The next morning, I typed them up and sent them to Entrepreneur
Magazine. Entrepreneur published “An
Entrepreneur’s Thoughts” in the February 1985 edition.
