Every single day of my life I am bombarded by people with pitches. But 90% of new businesses fail, because their founders failed to ask themselves the simplest of questions. I can save you years of wasted time and thousands of pounds of wasted money by giving you the ammunition to ask the right questions, and helping you make the decision that is right for you. I will show you how to spend a maximum of seven days deciding if your idea is workable and bankable. How to say 'I'm in', but equally importantly, to have the courage to say 'I'm out'. How to become your own Dragon. Each piece of advice in this book is based on my thirty years of starting businesses. You will find all the fundamental ingredients for any new company, whatever sector you want to be in, whatever size of business you have in mind, along with the tools to make it work. Answer all the tough questions I am going to get you to ask yourself and you will have a business that genuinely has a chance of success. You can be one of the 10% of businesses that do make it.' - James Caan. James Caan is one of the UK's most successful and dynamic entrepreneurs, having built and sold businesses since 1985. After dropping out of school at sixteen and starting his first business in a Pall Mall broom cupboard - armed with little more than charm and his father's advice - Caan went on to make his fortune in the recruitment industry, founding the Alexander Mann Group, a company with a turnover of £130m. A 2003 graduate of Harvard Business School, Caan's most recent endeavour has been to set up private equity firm Hamilton Bradshaw. Caan hit our screens when he joined the panel of the BBC's Dragons' Den in 2007. He is a regular in the national and business press, advises on various Government programmes, and initiates numerous philanthropic projects via the James Caan Foundation.

Book excerpt: Launching a business may seem like no easy task. It can seem completely bewildering, overwhelming, almost impossible. Where do you even start? And once you start, what do you do next? With this remarkable book, the impossible is possible. If you have an idea, a spark of a dream, but you're stalling on how to make it a reality, then this book will show you how to do so--one day at a time. There are so many young, hungry entrepreneurs in this world waiting for their big break. The simple secret that most of them haven't discovered is that while they have an insatiable appetite to perfect their idea or product before launching, the real progress only comes one way: by doing the work. A goal without a detailed plan is just a dream, one that will probably turn into a nightmare. This process will help you define your goals and create a plan to see them to fruition. Rick's philosophy for business is quite simple: granular changes every day--hitting singles instead of finding yourself at home plate, in the bottom of the ninth, with two outs and the do-or- die pressure to hit a grand slam. This book is a start-up boot camp. Should you choose to accept this mission, you will spend the next thirty days jump-starting your business. Are you willing to take massive action, ready to make mistakes, fail forward fast, and start taking control of your own life? If so, it's thirty days - let's do this!

This book provides examples that include securing proper business licenses and permits; setting up a bookkeeping system; negotiating a lease; buying insurance; entering into contracts with vendors; recruiting and hiring employees; and making the first sale.

Book excerpt: Start it TodayEvery time I think about the topic of "starting a business," I recall a book I read years ago: "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway." To my mind, it's fear of the unknown that holds most of us back and not the thought of whether we're competent enough or intelligent enough or whatever else we feel is needed to run a business. As with anything, learning to manage, be the boss, and run a business are just things that happen over time and with practice. So, as I see it, getting started is more of a pep talk than a to-do list. For that reason, I'm going to start by sharing with you a list of things you can do to get yourself into the mindset of running your own company. From there we will cover what you need to do, day-by-day, in order to get started. What you will learn: Why You Can and Should Run a Business? How to Write a Business Plan in Under an Hour? What is a Business Plan? Who Needs a Business Plan? Choosing the Right Kind of Business Plan for your Business What to Include in Your Business Plan Using Your Business Plan to Get Ahead Your 30 Days Plan 8 Common Business Plan Mistakes Accounting Principles and Strategic DecisionsDon't miss your chance!
