It's Not Hard. It's Just New.
There has never been a better time to start your own business, but taking that leap of faith can seem like a daunting risk rather than an exciting new venture.

With award-winning entrepreneur Rick Terrien as your guide, kickstart your entrepreneurial journey with this book and you'll learn to:
Make a smooth transition from working for someone else to working for yourself
Minimize your risk and maximize your value
Set a pace that's right for you and your business
Find the customers that will keep coming back
Create a business system that keeps you on track and comfortable
Build your exit strategy into your launch
Tackle obstacles with an open mind
