I got this book from SCORE, and I recommend it for anyone considering starting their own business. It clears away a number of myths regarding entrepreneurship. It is a good complement to the E-Myth because it gives a set of criteria to consider before taking the leap into a small business. The elements fo the equation include:
1. Your motivation for going into business
2. Your timing - current financial situation, experience, responsibilities, and network
3. Your personality - what do you like to do versus what is required to run a business
4. Your opportunity - is it really an opportunity, can you livere off it.
5. The risks and reqards
6. Other stuff
I have worked up a checklist using this criteria. For a copy send me an email or visit http://www.b2bplanner.com/
You might be able to get a free copy from your local SCORE chapter, or get if from Amazon.
