2020 has been one of the most challenging times for many people – especially business owners. The novel coronavirus pandemic has forced many businesses and employees to take a hard look at their careers and business trajectory and make some tough decisions. And while some business owners have been able to successfully pivot or reinvent themselves, others have been forced to close.
Whether the pandemic has forced you to reinvent your existing business or consider starting a new venture of your own – I have a gift for you!
In today’s episode, I share why I have decided to give away 1,000 copies of my book: Become Your Own Boss in 12 Months. I share how my book has helped over 100,000 entrepreneurs over the last 10 years and how you can use it to reinvent your current business or start your very first venture. I breakdown the framework you need to go from having a day job to being your own boss. I reveal how it helps existing business owners pivot their existing strategies to deal with changing circumstances and how it can help you identify potential capital sources, create a plan for making time for family, and outline detailed customer profiles to make sure your idea is viable. I also share how you can stand out from your competitors, why you should initially keep your day job, and how you can get your hands on a free copy of my book.
“If you are in business, if you want to start a business, or you are trying to reinvent a business: you have to figure out what you want and why.” – Melinda Emerson
