The accidental entrepreneur: practical wisdom for people who never expected to work for themselves, brought me into the (finally welcome) realization that yes, i am in business for myself (with the emphasis on business). having thrashed around in the welter of details surrounding what it means to be a small (in my case, one-person) business for many years, never very hopefully or happily, i now find that this book offers me a roadmap to taking myself seriously (and i can take the journey at my own speed, too). though i still have a lot to learn, this is the only such book i've encountered, and it's (as the subtitle indicates) practical, accessible, and-above all-doable. i recommend this book to anyone starting out or already on the way to being a successful entrepreneur.
