Brass Tacks Tips for Business Owners

About the Book

The enclosed Brass Tacks Tips will help the owners of small and mid-size businesses improve their personal performance entrepreneurs and enhance the value of the enterprises they are building.

These Brass Tacks Tips are based on the author’s half-century of personal experience with many successful – and a few not so successful – real-life entrepreneurs. The common thread: Valuable, need to know “stuff” that can make a critical top and bottom line difference to an ambitious venturer.

Included is the kind of practical, been there, done that advice that you won’t get from most books, seminars or business school curricula. And it’s highly personalized, providing information, insights and inspiration you can use pronto.

Whether your mission du jour involves mastering a threatening challenge or exploiting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you’ll find a lot of sage help – and a measure of solace – in the enclosed pages.

Based on the premise that “experience is the best teacher,” this collection of articles is compiled and formatted in a manner that will conserve your time while providing you with immediately actionable ideas.

While these nutritious servings of Brass Tacks Tips have been cooked up to serve primarily owners of small and mid-size businesses, other corporate executives will find many valuable insights as well.
