Synopsis

How do you start and run a successful business, despite the odds? This unique guide to entrepreneurship teaches you practical math and management skills alongside the emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and coping skills that you need in order to overcome internal barriers to success no matter what type of business you are in. Joe Biel, author of A People's Guide to Publishing, draws on 26 years of business ownership and management experience to walk you through how to think like a business owner, plan, strategize, manage budgets, scale up, and keep your focus on what's most important. Dr. Faith Harper, author of the bestselling Unfuck Your Brain, provides vital skills that aren't often lauded in business books, such as overcoming imposter syndrome and other fears, communicating your boundaries, building mutually beneficial relationships, and preventing your emotional baggage from becoming your biggest business pitfall. If you've ever dreamed of starting a small business, or if you currently run a business and want to strengthen it for long term success, this practical guide cuts through the jargon and teaches you the skills you need to enjoy facing the challenges and surprises every day in business brings.
