    About this ebook

    The must-read summary of Steve Gottry's book: "Common Sense Business: Starting, Operating and Growing Your Small Business – In Any Economy!".

    This complete summary of the ideas from Steve Gottry's book "Common Sense Business" shows that you always learn far more from your failures in running a small business than you ever learn from your successes. According to Helen Keller, “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved”. If you’re genuinely smart, you’ll learn from the success and failures of other people rather than trying to make all the mistakes yourself. This summary highlights solid pieces of advice to make sound business decisions when you take the plunge and start your own small business. 

    Added-value of this summary: 
    • Save time 
    • Understand the key concepts 
    • Increase your business knowledge 

    To learn more, read "Common Sense Business" and discover an indispensable guide for business leaders and managers.

      Summary of Common Sense Business (Steve Gottry)

      Book Abstract

      MAIN IDEA

      You always learn far more from your failures in running a small business than you ever learn from your successes. But if you’re genuinely smart, you’ll learn from the success and failures of other people rather than trying to make all the mistakes yourself.

      To make sound business decisions when you take the plunge and start your own small business, keep in the front of your mind four key pieces of advice:

      Always know where you are in the small business life cycle, and act accordingly.

      Never forget there is an alternate destination you definitely want to avoid.

      To build your business, focus on building your assets as quickly as feasible.

      To be a success over the long haul, you have to conquer your natural enemies.

      "I believe that once an individual has had a taste of the independence, freedom, and sense of accomplishment that a small business offers, that individual will never be satisfied working for someone else. You can be certain of some things in life – in addition to ‘death and taxes’. You can be certain that operating a small business will always be a great adventure – because you will always confront the unexpected. That’s exciting, and it’s one of the many things that make being an entrepreneur so appealing to me. You can also be certain that the economy will always have its peaks and valleys, and that the changing economic environment will affect every business to some extent. As a businessperson, you will always have to adapt to change, and perhaps rethink and redirect your dream. You can also be assured that you and I, if we are true entrepreneurs, will never be satisfied reporting to someone else. We
