Product Description
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.

  • 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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great book; easy to read, filled with practical advice., October 24, 2006
    By D. Chavez (southern Illinois) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    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.
