Synopsis

You Are Not Alone

Being an entrepreneur is scary. From late payments to bank crisis, often the future of your business rides on one crucial decision--one you have to make all on your own.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Others have faced the same problems, and for the first time have gathered to share their advice.
Through stories and lessons from entrepreneurs who have been there, you'll discover how to handle such situations as:

-- We didn't know if anyone would show up
-- I lost 25 percent of my business in one day
-- We trusted the wrong people
-- I got sick and couldn't work
-- My customer wouldn't pay

Knowing is half the battle. Be prepared and ready to win.

About this title

From the Author:

I wrote this book because as an entrepreneur I felt alone most of the time.  When I had problems I didn't know who to turn to.  I realized that most entrepreneurs feel this way. I wanted to tell the stories of entrepreneurs who have survived horrific experiences so that we all could realize that we are not alone.  There are people who have gone through similar, or even worse, situations than we are experiencing and thrived.

I had been in business for more than 10 years when I wrote this book.  As a result of some of the entrepreneurs who willingly gave their time to help others, I changed many of the ways that I was running my businesses. They have been run better and more profitably as a result.

Thank you to all of the entrepreneurs who shared their stories in hopes that we can help other small business owners.
