Guide to Starting a Small Business Successfully

How to Start Up Your Own Business

This is a comprehensive and practical guide featuring all the guidelines and tools you need to start and succeed in a business of your own. My name is Meir Liraz, I'm the president of Bizmove.com and the author of this book. According to Dun & Bradstreet, 90% of all business failures analyzed can be traced to poor management. This is backed up by my own experience. In my 23 years as a business coach and consultant to small business managers, I've seen practically dozens of small business owners go under and lose their businesses -- not because they weren't talented or smart enough -- but because they were trying to re-invent the wheel rather than rely on proven, tested methods that work. And that is where this book can help, it will teach you how to avoid the common traps and mistakes and do everything right the first time.

The book is a complete manual. It is packed with guides, forms, worksheets and checklists that make it easy for you to apply all that knowledge to your own business or project. You will be amazed at how simple these strategies and concepts are and how easy it will be for you to apply them to your own business.

It will teach you scores of tricks, secrets and shortcuts -- and teach them so that you can start using them at once. This program does far more than impart knowledge... it inspire action. It's so complete and easy to use; you'll no longer worry about over-looking an obvious solution to a situation, no more time-wasting and money-draining due to lack of knowledge, no longer struggle trying to handle frustrating situations that could have been avoided before they turned into costly problems
