Book Description

September 10, 2006
This manual: Think Big but Start Small will teach you how to develop an idea into an opportunity and assemble the resources to create a successful plan for your business.

Successful entrepreneur and author Chris Murphy has started sixteen corporations, and has years of start-up experience through working with students and other small business owners. Murphy highlights one simple principle: you don’t have to spend a lot of money to create your own business. By providing a practical, no-nonsense approach, he thoroughly explains each step in the process. Murphy not only shares important statistics and examples, but also shows you how to choose a business that matches your long-range objectives. He will help you decide:

  • What business is right for you
  • Whether to buy an existing business or franchise
  • How to research and understand your market
  • The best way to get to know your customer
  • How to write a business plan

    If you have the motivation and passion to start your own business in our new global, high-tech economy, then this book will be a valuable guide in getting your business started for the least possible investment.

    This review is from: Starting a New Business?: Think Big but Start Small (Paperback)
    This is the most concise, easiest read, and best advice on starting a small business on the market. The author apparently has lots of practical experience and is willing to share. This is a refreshing departure from the attitude of most entrepreneurs who make a business of selling their secrets one bit at a time.
