Inspiring Ideas and Down-to-Earth Guidance

I didn't expect to learn so much from A Fearless Guide to Starting a Profitable 5K Business, because I've been in business for myself for many years. But in the first few pages and throughout the book, I found great ways to save myself time, money and anxiety and increase my confidence, exposure and customer base. The book is written in a personalized, conversational tone that delivers inspring ideas and concrete advice (including contact information to websites of tested resources). I highly recommend this book to first-time and long-time business owners.

A Start Your Own Business Book that Works

There are zillions of books out on how to create a business, how to make big bucks, how-to, how-to. Some are good, most are so-so. A Fearless Guide is excellent--written for the average person who wants to be successful, has limited moneys and needs the guidance from someone who has really DONE it versus someone who talks about it. Marilyn Sweet walks her talk and talks her walk. This is a book you don't want to loan out, you won't get it back. Also highly recommended for all libraries--especially for high school and college students who are entrepreneurial.
