FOLLOW THIS LINK to get on the waiting list: http://authorsunite.com/waitinglist Dedication To all the contributors in this book. You changed my life. I will always be here for you. Introduction Welcome to Volume 3 of the Better Business Book. This series started as a way to take 100 business books, reduce them down to the 100 most important nuggets of wisdom, and put them all in one place. What we didn’t realize was that it would turn into far more than that. Yes, it is a library of lessons, but it is also a community. Over 100 very different people came together in this shared desire to pass on their value to you, the reader, and to each other. And then something amazing happened: we did it again. And again. Several of us joined close to 100 new authors to share even more value in this third book. And others are already getting ready for a fourth book. What started as a compilation and became a community is growing into a movement. Maybe one day soon you’ll be a part of it. We hope you enjoy reading this book half as much as we enjoyed creating it for you. Love, Us xv Part One WHAT EVERY ENTREPRENEUR NEEDS TO KNOW Section One: In The Beginning Ten Things You Can Learn From My 10 Years in Business YETUNDE SHORTERS Entrepreneurship is for the committed, inspired and daring. The rollercoaster ride of running a business takes failure, an open mind to learn and an emotional spin that will have you always asking “why da heck am I even doing this?” The rewards, joy, little and big success as you grow makes it all worth it. I launched my business ICY Public Relations on July 7, 2007 and there are so many things I wish I knew then that I know now. After ten years in business, there is so much I have learned that I want to share. I believe if any small business owner can learn this now, it will position you for success as you build your business. 1. Document your milestones (every year) This is one of those things that I wish somebody had told me at the start. The importance of documenting your milestones can help you put together information for your portfolio, keep track of your successes and, when it’s time to celebrate, you’ll be able to reference in detail all that you have done and worked on. You will get caught up in the day-to- day activities of building your business so this can be easily forgotten.

First, I must thank my thesis director, Dr. Barry Faulk, for his constant and extremely constructive guidance through multiple drafts of this project—and also his tolerance of receiving drafts and seeing me in his office less than a week later. Dr. Michael Buchler’s extensive knowledge of music theory, and his willingness to try out a new genre, have led to stimulating and thought provoking discussions, which have shaped this paper in many ways.
