* The first edition of this book won the prestigious Book of the Year Award presented by the Professional Association of Small Business Accountants

Many entrepreneurs fail, not because they have bad ideas, but because they don't have the knowledge it takes to convert their ideas into success. In Six Steps to Small Business Success, five seasoned CPAs provide practical advice, step-by-step guidance, and proven ideas to help you dream big, think realistically, and plan and manage carefully, ultimately achieving more than you ever imagined.

Take these six simple steps to convert your dreams into reality:

1. PRE-BUSINESS PLANNING. Learn from others who have succeeded how a little front end planning can ensure your success.

2. START-UP: FINANCES, BUDGETS, AND NUMBERS. Discover the key fundamentals that must be put in place for your business to grow.

3. HUMAN RESOURCES(PEOPLE). Learn best practices in hiring, training, managing, and terminating employees.

4. OPERATIONS: WORK FLOW, CUSTOMERS, AND SALES. Learn how to make good decisions about products and customers.

5. BUILDING A SALABLE BUSINESS AND THE SALE. Learn how to plan for your eventual sale.

6. TRANSITIONING TO LIFE AFTER BUSINESS. Finally, learn how to plan for life after work - personal adjustments, wealth management, leaving a legacy.

Advance Praise

Six Steps is a must read for every would be entrepreneur. It’s a comprehensive, practical, and insightful compilation of the issues, strategies, and hurdles that business owners will likely encounter during and after their reign.

— NED A. MINOR, Founder of Minor & Brown and author of Deciding to Sell Your Business: The Key to Wealth and Freedom


I’ve read college level textbooks on business, but this will be my “go to.” It’s an easy read, but written with great competence. I’ll recommend it to others I know who are starting small businesses. I love the way it covers both the ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ topics needed for success.

— TIMOTHY E. REID, from amazon.com


From pre-start-up through exit strategies, this work runs the gamut of a complete life cycle. A tremendous reference full of desirable linkages. Would heavily recommend for all entrepreneur 101 type folks. Helps to avoid mistakes.

— WAYNE BERRY, from amazon.com
