Longtime collaborators Linda Pinson and Jerry Jinnett have updated their systematic planning and implementation guide with appropriate advice on key issues that span the process, from "Examining Your Personal Objectives" and "Generating a Viable Idea" to "Choosing a Business Location" and "Selecting Your Insurance." A few sections dealing with the most technical aspects of running a business successfully (such as "Keeping Your Books") provide little more than an introduction to the various particulars involved, but most provide more than enough specifics to get your enterprise up and humming. Their suggestions for "Choosing a Business Name," for instance, spell out nine initial points to consider, including "Choose a name that has meaning for your target market. Identify three to five personality traits or benefits that make your company special [then] focus on the qualities your target customers appreciate." <I>--Howard Rothman</I> 1840915 10 1996 Steps to Small Business Start-Up: Everything You Need to Know to Turn Your Ideas into a Successful Business total:1|5:1| 1 5 3 1 5 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 21 20:20:50 -0700 2008 Sun May 04 07:23:21 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Dec 09 06:11:30 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 09 06:11:30 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Feb 29 10:54:20 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 29 10:54:20 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1840700
