About The Book

Most business books give you the same old advice: Write a business plan study the competition seek investors, yadda yadda. If you're looking for a book like that put this one back on the shelf.

You don't need to be a workaholic. You don't need to staff up. You don't need to waste time on paperwork or meetings. You don't even need an office. Those are all just excuses.
