Читать книгу Entrepreneurial Itch - David Trahair - Страница 15

This is not a how-to guide. It won’t detail the regulatory and tax rules for starting and running a business. There are already many books available that fill this need. (Self-Counsel Press offers Starting a Successful Business in Canada, by Jack D. James.)

This is also not a book full of theory, written by someone who has studied self-employment but has never actually been self-employed. As far as I’m concerned, those theories are for textbooks, and a lot of them are wrong. What sounds good on paper often doesn’t work in real life.

Instead, this book tells a story about what starting and running a small business is really like, warts and all.

I hope that by the end of this book you will be inspired to venture out on your own, armed with the knowledge you’ll need to make your business a success. I want to do all that I can to protect the entrepreneurial flame that is burning in your heart right now.

I want you to protect that flame so it doesn’t get blown out by bosses and other negative people who don’t see your vision or your value. In short, I want to help you succeed on your own terms and in the long run. I want to get you out of where you are now and into a lifestyle that is flexible and rewarding, much like your dream at this very moment.
