Read these books first!
I pushed the “eject” button twelve years ago and left my gig as a Corporate executive to start a Business I LOVE.
How I wish I’d had these books to guide me!
These are just a few of the resources I’ve found invaluable as a new business owner, and I hope you will, too.

Happy reading!
