Small Business Is Like a Bunch of Bananas: You Have to Remove the Peels to Get to the Good Stuff

by Jim Blasingame

This book is about you - the human being behind the entrepreneurial you - the one facing the challenges of operating a small business. The difference between entrepreneurs and everybody else is an ability and a desire to reach a little farther down inside themselves, to a place unfamiliar to mere mortals, where exists the capacity to persevere when marketplace pedestrians simply give up. The things I talk about in this book speak to that part of you.
