What I Just Read: Business Edition
I took a break from my book-turned-chick-flick series to read something a little different for me: a book on business.
Recommended by a cousin of mine, this is a great read for someone with or starting a small business. It is formatted in a series of short essays each focused on a common section theme, so the reading actually goes quickly. You don't feel like you're stuck muddling through a lot of lingo, either- the authors make it pretty simple. The gist of the book is that you don't need a lot to make a successful business, and in fact, the less you can get away with, the better. But it's more than that- it has sections on ideas and waste, and how you don't have to follow the tried-and-true rules of business in order to be successful. It is a pretty positive read for someone selling handmade items out of their home, all on their own. I would recommend it to anyone trying to do the same.
