xii, 248 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm. "Many developed countries became developed mainly because of the concerted efforts of the small business proprietors called entrepreneurs. Taken together, their efforts gave rise to countries like the United States of America, The United Kingdom and many countries in Europe. Their economies grew because of the contribution of the entrepreneurs in employment, income, government taxes and availability of goods and services. This book presents an alternative to employment - by being a business owner.You are the boss. Capital is not important because you can start small or byfinancing. What is important is your willingness to take action.
