My guess is that you are here because you are curious about what it might be like to start a business?

Perhaps you’ve been wondering if you have what it takes? If your idea will work or even how much it actually costs to build a successful business?

Perhaps you've been in business for a few months or a year or 2 and things aren't going quite the way you thought they might?

I’ve written a book that can answer pretty much all your questions “So You Want to Start a Business” and you can download the first 20 pages at www.thestartupsteps.com
