You're no idiot, of course. Whether you're looking to buy or sell a business, you know you must have a thorough knowledge of the entire process and protect your assets at all costs. But when it comes to making the final business decision, you feel like your bottom line is going to hit rock bottom. Don't liquidate yet! The Complete Idiot's Guide to Buying and Selling a Business is full of easy-to-understand information for people on either side of the transaction. Find out how the process works--from deciding when and if it's right to buy to knowing when you should unload the company and how to come out ahead. In this Complete Idiot's Guide, you get:
I have a personal mission - to improve business and personal lives. Concepts are useful and powerful but only as they can be applied to improve the quality of life. My most basic talent is the ability to simplify the complicated so that it becomes useful to people (especially my readers) in their everyday life. My advanced technology and business management education (too many degrees according to my family and friends) combined with years of practical experience (yes - gray hair is involved) in a wide variety of fields enable me to speak science, technology, finance, entrepreneurship, management, engineering, sales and marketing "geek" (partial listing) while always trying to answer the question, "Why would anyone care about this?"
As a college professor, I learn from my students about new ways to explain things. As a writer I learn from other authors about ways to improve my craft (watch for fiction some time in the future). As a person, I am insatiably curious - learning every chance I can. And I really cannot control where that curiosity will lead me. Insatiable curiosity tied in with a focus challenge is sort of like that. :-)
It is my honor to serve my readers, clients, students, colleagues and friends in the successful pursuit of their own best lives. I promise to keep reinventing myself and hope that you occasionally invite me into your life along the way.
My latest book (coming in early 2012) is the Sixth Edition of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Starting Your Own Busness" which in prior editions has sold over 250,000 copies. This edition has been substantially revised to address the questions that readers have told me they need to answer today. Feedback from prior readers who have started their own succcessful businesses let me know if I am on the right track in my mission. I hope to hear from you.
