Smarter Than Me: Success Starting a Business and Selling a Business to a ESOP

Owning and operating a business can be a lot of work with little return; but it can also be a hugely rewarding experience filled with excitement and money beyond your wildest dreams. Which way will your business go? Your success or failure depends on many things; but in the end it all depends on YOU.

I ve been a businessman for over forty years. I ve gone broke and made millions; fortunately in that order! In life you get two types of education; the one you are given in a classroom and the one you get for yourself.

This book is hopefully the start of your ongoing business education. There is an old saying, Things are twice as hard to get out of ....than into. So don't get into a business without learning everything you can before investing your time and money.

Most new business owners take the time to learn something about starting a business, some have learned a bit about how to run a business but very few take the time to know how to profitable exit a business. I have examined many business strategies and tried several and I can assure you that it is difficult to succeed without learning all phases of business. I have gained the knowledge to help guide you through the process of profitably starting your business, running your business, expanding your business and exiting your business when you choose.

I invite you to let me share with you what I ve learned after my many business experiences.
