The know-how you need to run your business

From the Author:

Whoops I'm in Business: A Crash Course in Business Basics, What's it really like to be one of the millions of Americans who holds down a full-time job and also runs a part-time business? What's it like to be manage a household while launching a small business? What's it like to risk retirement saving on a business with your spouse? Before embarking on my new book, Whoops I'm in Business: A Crash Course in Business Basics, I decided to find out what it's really like down in the small business trenches. So I tried an experiment. While maintaining my full time job, I started a business with my wife. Could I pull it off and make a profit? I combined two passions--sound recording and publishing--in an audiobook production venture and I soon learned that the conventional small business wisdom is often out of touch and misguided, especially when applied to "accidental business people." As a result of my personal experiment, as well as years of experience as an attorney to small business owners, I was able to create a real-life business guide for people struggling to earn money from something they love. In addition, Whoops also profiles creative types whose interests become avocations, then obsessions, and finally-inadvertently, unexpectedly-businesses. In short, Whoops provides the type of hands on legal and business tips that can instantly be put into practice by like minded people.
