I’ve seen a lot of new business owners transition from the truck to the office without making any changes to their mentality, and this is a recipe for failure. They don’t learn to think like an entrepreneur, and as a result, they wind up making undemonstratively instead of strategically. I’ve seen business owners make mistakes such as:• Starting a business before understanding what it takes to succeed.• Making business decisions based on feelings only.• Hiring the wrong people for the right job or hiring the right people for the wrong job.• Clinging to a “my way or the highway” mentality that makes them resistant to adopting new and essential tools.• Refusing to take full responsibility and blaming someone else for their failures.I wrote this book to help you avoid errors like these . . . errors that can destroy a new business and your great potential for growth. In these pages, you won’t find the magic key to overnight success. What you will find are insights on the most important elements for building a successful business. Work on mastering these key aspects of owning a business, and you’ll gradually transform both your company and yourself for the better
