How long do you think you’ve been wasting your talent, working on something you don’t like or for someone you don’t want to, dreading every Monday, hoping that sooner or later something will change?
You wouldn’t believe how many people I’ve met who are trapped in the Matrix, defeated by the fear of failure.
The hardest truth? If you feel like you’re wasting your talent, are dissatisfied with your routine and salary, but keep postponing taking action, I don’t see a happy ending for you. The remorse will be devastating.
You need to start your own business, become your own boss, and take total control of your life before the flame inside you burns out. To build a successful business, you must know how to solve your customers’ problems so that they have a desperate need for your help, not you in desperate need for their money.
Simple, right? But in practice, you need to acquire the right knowledge to avoid the critical mistakes that make the difference between success and failure.
People fail in business due to a lack of study, planning, and evaluation of what moves to make.
They’re quick to borrow $100K from the bank but don’t realize that investing in serious guidance (for just a few dollars) could change everything.

Readers won’t be entrepreneur dummies after reading this
As informative and helpful as this book is for budding entrepreneurs, it’s possible a biography of its author, Carl Barrett, could be just as useful and more entertaining. In a nutshell, Barrett is one of those individuals who earned a marketable degree and landed an excellent job, but he decided to take a chance and start a unique food business because of his – you guessed it – love of food.Barrett recommends right off the bat that one must think outside the box to be successful, and he backs this up by highlighting many of the business titans who have practically taken over the world, men and women such as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Bezos, and other highly recognizable names.Those who are serious about starting a business will get a lot out of Barrett’s book. As far as I can tell, it’s got all the info you need to get going to become your own boss. Barrett does a great job throughout conveying the mindset one needs to start and sustain a successful business endeavor. The book reveals the typical topics one would expect for starting a life in entrepreneurship, things such as idea generation, market research, a business plan, building a brand, and managing finances.“Proceed with grit, zeal, and the confidence that you possess the necessary skills to successfully negotiate this fascinating business environment,” Barrett writes at the end. For as much as he has offered his own support to entrepreneurs through writing this book, and as much as he recommends a deep support system, Barrett’s most prevalent message is that it’s up to the individual to make the most of his or her idea.

is A WELL DONE BOOK, FULL OF USEFUL INFO and suitable for anyone who wants to start the entrepreneurial journey
Amazon Customer –
This is a comprehensive guide to starting your own business. The contents are well laid out, with each chapter clearly labelled as well as sub sections allowing you to dip in and out of the book.The book doesn’t just cover the mechanics of starting your own business, which is probably more relevant to those in the U.S., it also walks through the entrepreneurial mind set, idea generation, and identifying a niche. I found the visualisation exercise helpful. Practical advice is provided in the form of business planning, financing, and building your brand, and specifics of launching your business are covered. I particularly liked the ‘building your brand’ section as it talked about selecting a memorable name, logo, tagline, brand voice, etc. Throughout the book examples of successful entrepreneurs are mentioned, such as Elon Musk, Oprah Winfrey, and Jeff Bezos.Overall, a very detailed guide to starting your own business that I’m sure the audience will find useful.

I have been undecided about starting my own business, but this book has shown me how it can be made much easier. For me it’s laid out to find any part of tge start up process, but is also writren without too much terminology. Really good references to famous business models, Bill Gates being one.This book can be used by anyone either starting up or those already on a start up. Would recommend
