Start & Run a Real Home-based Business

If you’re looking for yet another useless, “fluff-filled” book on home based businesses, then this book isn’t for you. Instead, this book is for real people who want to run a real business.

Whether you want to work at home on your computer, open a daycare, start a local service (like a plumber, computer consultant, pet sitter, etc), or anything else, then Start and Run a Real Home Based Business is what you’ve been waiting for.

With his free-wheeling, entertaining style, Entrepreneur Dan Furman talks about his past and current business successes (and failures), and brings together 50+ topics essential to home based business owners. Pulling no punches, Furman shows you exactly what makes a home based business succeed or fail. In a blunt (yet fun), “NO BS” manner.

You’ll laugh, you’ll nod your head, and (most of all) you’ll learn what it takes to truly succeed in owning a small business.

Highlights of the included CD:

• Sample press releases
• Start-up expense worksheet
• Writing a marketing proposal
• Client information sheet
• Web links

Customer Review: A great book for anyone starting a business!

I highly recommend this book to anyone starting a business. It is filled with many helpful tips, ones that point out what you should be doing, and others that point out what you shouldn’t.

This book gives me the knowledge and positive attitude to get through the first few difficult months. To be honest, I kept knocking on the wrong doors until I found this book. I felt like Christopher Columbus without a map. I wasn’t sure what to do, who to trust, and what was really important and what wasn’t, what to spend money on, the value of bartering, the importance to advertise, and how to structure my day so I don’t work too much or too little. Working from home is very different than working in an office. The book has helped me set attainable goals, set priorities, and what is important to do right now.

Dan Furman’s book is a gift to anyone starting a new business. The book is direct, to the point, and funny. It covers a multitude of subjects and I take it with me wherever I go. I jot down ideas during the day and Start & Run has everything I need to know. A new business is like having a baby. It takes the same care, time and attention that a newborn needs. I found starting my business was like having my first child. I didn’t have a clue what to do first. There were so many first-time, important decisions to be made and I kept looking for a mentor. Well, I found one here.
