Self-Employment: From Dream to Reality

The number of self-employed individuals has grown substantially in the last decade. Advances in telecommuting technology and the rise of e-business have given would-be entrepreneurs access to new sales channels and marketing avenues, making the dream of self-employment more accessible than ever before. Self-employed people make up less than fifteen percent of the working population, but they account for approximately two-thirds of all millionaires in the U.S. In addition, self-employed people are four times more likely to become millionaires than those who work for others.* That makes JIST's unique workbook, Self Employment: From Dream to Reality!, more timely than ever. This unique workbook leads you through the planning and start-up process for your own small business. With clear explanations, examples, exercises, and worksheets, you learn if you have what it takes to succeed; how to define and set goals for your dream; how much money you'll need to get started; who your customers are; how to price and market your business; and how to keep records and handle cash flow, taxes, insurance, and legal issues. This book makes intimidating topics like break-even analysis easy for anyone to understand, so that you don't have to already be a millionaire in order to make good on your dreams.Gilkerson, Linda D. is the author of 'Self-Employment: From Dream to Reality' with ISBN 9781593575205 and ISBN 1593575203.
