About this audiobook
"Winget provides a wealth of sound entrepreneurial counsel customized for the beginner and covering everything from social media to time management." - Kirkus Reviews
Larry Winget is NOT against starting your own business or becoming an entrepreneur. He is against doing it the wrong way, with no plan, little preparation and only your passion to rely on.
Larry often says people have been sold an old bag of “hooey” about what it takes to be successful in business.

What pain does it alleviate? What tangible benefit will the customer receive? What should I charge? What gives you the right to be in business?
