Welcome to the How to Start a Small Business Discussion! I hope the page has been helpful. I inherited an excellent page from Mahalo and did not change one word!
I hope that I can add useful resources to it and help it get read by as many people as possible. Please tell your friends about it and post the page link in your discussions elsewhere! At the bottom of the other page, right hand column I think they have a link to help with that. Help us get the info out there so everyone can be helped!
My favorite business author - someone who made a difference in my life, and who they say is the father of modern business is really easy to read and I think worth a lot! Here is the last interview I could find before his death, he gave it at age 95 specially to forbes.com magazine.
This is my favorite Peter Drucker book. I think that you will all find it useful for anything you do. It is the kind of book you read, then may see years later, pick up and say, darn, I should have read this earlier, it could have saved me a LOT of trouble - he is THAT good!
Your local library should be able to lend it to you for FREE! He also has other books, you can check them out, this is a very practical one for how to manage you, he also writes on business theory and you may find that your entire country has their business running based on things he has said so he can explain away a lot of confusion once you get deeply into the business field, I think anyways.
For those of you with less time, I understand, me too, here are a few links where they have Peter Drucker Quotes and one quote from each page, they are great reading too!!!! Take what you need, he also worked in universities so some of it is too wordy for daily business but you can pick and choose.
Do you have anything to share with us? authors? quotes? books? tips? websites? experiences about what is important when starting a small business? THANKS! from all of us!!!
