Summary:

"Despite the recent influx of entrepreneurship, most new entrepreneurs (and even those with a little more experience) are finding themselves in chaos, not the liberated state they hoped to discover. They are trapped, controlled, and consumed by their own businesses. Instead of finding more time, money, and freedom in entrepreneurship, small business owners are overwhelmed with customers, prospects, management of employees, marketing, sales, accounting, etc. Small business owners are struggling just to keep their businesses running, let alone actually growing their companies and experiencing the success they anticipated. A lot has changed in 14 years. Conquer the Chaos, 2nd Edition speaks to today's small business owners by making sense of the overwhelming demands they're facing in their businesses. Through engaging stories, quotes, and examples, Conquer the Chaos, 2nd Edition leads readers through the six non-negotiable strategies to finding success in entrepreneurship. With 30% new material, there will be a new section on Lifecycle Automation and Work, Life Balance as a business owner. Success is accomplished by evolving --and that is exactly what readers will find in this book"-- Provided by publisher.
