Unemployment to Self-Employment and Beyond

About the Book

You may want to find a full-time job that pays well, take orders, and work hard. But good jobs are hard to come by—even if you’re perfectly qualified, which is why you should listen to Umasuthan Kaloo, Ph.D., a reluctant entrepreneur who has achieved success. He encourages you to consider new possibilities in this business guidebook. You’ll learn why self-employment may make sense and get a sense of the challenges and rewards to expect if you pursue it. He also outlines the three stages of entrepreneurship: starting, growing, and exiting. In straightforward language, he explains how to: • make the right moves to start right; • continuously adjust to a changing market; and • decide whether to cash out rich or leave your business to loved ones. The guidebook is filled with case studies showing how other entrepreneurs have been successful. Other case studies demonstrate mistakes to avoid. Becoming your own boss is filled with challenges and risks, but you’ll also find it’s filled with rewards. Discover your options, and learn if you’ve got what it takes to be an entrepreneur with Unemployment to Self-Employment and Beyond.
