Typical of a small business owner …
You are busy,
You are tired,
You are working too hard,
You have no time off,
Your friends and family don’t remember what it’s like to have you around…
I get it!!
That was me…
But now, I’ve scaled up and then exited my business and I’m giving back to all the businesses who want to do the same.
This book outlines how I took my life from my young daughter coming home having drawn a picture of the family at childcare with everyone except me in it. To being able to take the family away for a month each year while my business kept running. I’m not bragging, simply telling you that by implementing these gold nuggets in my book, this could be you too. All while working towards creating a profitable sustainable business, or an exit strategy that will leave you fulfilled!
This book is for people starting their own business or who have already started and are struggling with typical small business issues that so many share. If you are a tradesperson, sole trader, or a larger company, there is something in Paul’s book for you. As you read the book many will think ‘this book is written about my business’. I can identify with these issues that are happening to me as well”. Often we are alone running a business and who do we talk to other than our accountant or often unqualified opinionated advice. It’s a lonely journey.
