Is there a good source of information on how to make a small business venture successful?
I recommend you visit this website: www.e-myth.com and order and read a book called “The E-Myth Revisited”. You can also purchase it in audio form and download it at www.itunes.com. The basic premise of the book is that most new small businesses are started by people who are experts in their own particular field – a top chef opens a restaurant, a creative director opens an advertising firm – but who underestimate the expertise and effort required to run a business. What they end up doing is failing because they spend too much time working IN the business and not enough time working ON the business.
