The average worker holds ten different jobs before age forty, and this number is projected to grow. If you’re in your twenties and thirties, you may forge a second or third career as an entrepreneur; and if you’re in your forties, fifties, or beyond, you will decidedly favor the idea of starting and owning your own business.

So whether you are early in your career or are in mid-career, whether you have ambitions to run a larger business or a very small business, and whether you start a business because it’s your desire or you’re forced to by automation and layoffs, entrepreneurship is more likely than ever to be a part of your future. Let Brian Tracy, one of the world’s foremost authorities on the subject, introduce you to 6 Essentials To Start & Succeed in Your Own Business, and expose you to the most innovative, current—and most importantly—proven ideas on how to become successful.
