As a business owner and coach, I have watched entrepreneurs trip over the fallacy of complexity. The more complex something is, the more value we believe it must hold. We wrongly assign value to something relative to its complexity when it is the simplest principlesin business and in lifethat are always the most valuable.
In this book, Susan has removed the complexity and mythology from entrepreneurship and laid out a series of sound and practical principles and exercises to lead you through the creation or reinvention of your company.
But be forewarned! Just because the principles and exercises contained in this book are simple, by no means are they easy. Entrepreneurship is like giving birth and going to war at the same time. You will labor intensely as you take your idea from concept to reality and then you will wage a daily battle against yourself, your competitors, and the economy at large just to keep your dream alive.
We all need people to fight alongside of us, encourage us, and guide us through the many business battles we will face. Through this book, Susan can do just that. She has labored and fought to bring you these business truths. The result is a book that, should you submit to it, will act as a guide to you as you create a business that fits your wants, needs, and desiresjust like your favorite pair of blue jeans.
Summon the courage to dive into this book with all you have and, above all, execute on the ideas laid out.
