'Everybody wants to be an entrepreneur. Every day of my life I am being pitched by people with new business ideas. But sadly 90% of new businesses are still failing. Entrepreneurs just need to ask themselves the right questions before they start their business journey.'
In this incisive new practical guide from one of Britain's most successful entrepreneurs, James Caan offers his 30 years of expertise which could save budding entrepreneurs years of wasted time and thousands of pounds of wasted money.
Start Your Business in 7 Days is a book for absolutely anybody with a good idea; you don't need to be a business expert. Caan will provide you with the ammunition and advice you need and guide you towards the right decisions for your business.
Over the course of seven days, he will demonstrate how to decide if your idea is workable and bankable. How to say 'I'm in', but equally importantly, to have the courage to say 'I'm out'.
If you have managed to answer all of Caan's tough questions by the time you reach the end of the book, then you will have a business that genuinely has a chance of success. You can be one of the 10% of businesses that do make it.
'Many people achieve success in business, but not everyone is willing to share their blueprint for success. The information in this book is priceless and can transform a business or an idea in just seven days.'
