For the estimated 16 million Americans attempting to start businesses, this book serves as an essential launching pad by leading them step-by-step through the start-up process.

Founders of such successful companies as Crate & Barrel, Pizza Hut, and Celestial Seasonings offer real-life guidance and encourage continual assessment of one's readiness to start a business. Included are engaging exercises at the end of each chapter for determining one's preparedness for moving to the next chapter and, thus, the next level of entrepreneurship.
