This book shows small business owners how a successful pursuit of the American Dream will mirror America's unique story. First, the owner must know how to voyage into the unknown, like the Mayflower's first voyage. Second, the owner must declare their independence, like America's Declaration of Independence. And third, the owner must fight revolutionary battles, like America's Revolutionary war.Other books will immediately start with advice, other books will immediately try to solve your problem. But this book is different. In this book, the main difference is that the reader is the Author. The Reader is the author in this book because that Reader is always the author of their own life story. Every month is a chapter, every week is a chapter section, and every day is 1 paragraph of your own life story. Whether a person likes it or not, they will always be the one and only author of their story.You are the author of your own American Dream in this book. As the author of your own American Dream, before you go through the Voyage, Declaring Independence, or Revolutionary Battles you will do Foundational Preparation Action Items. The First Preparation of your Foundation consists of "clearing the slate of your mind." The Second Preparation of your Foundation consists of writing the skeleton of your Small Business's American Dream.After the Reader has written the skeleton of their American Dream, they will get specific Performance Consulting advice on each of the different "Dream Components" they have written about. This interactive form of reading and Performance Consulting advice helps the Reader spend more time EXECUTING VALUABLE BUSINESS ACTIONS, rather than JUST reading a book. The path of pursuing an American Dream is long, and difficult. As the Reader loses steam they can come back to this book for specific guidance and specific inspiration to overcome the challenges that face their small business and the others who work in that small business.
