Business Happens
A Practical Guide to Entrepreneurial Finance for Small Businesses and Professional Practices
Starting a new business? Start here.
The Great Recession had one bright side: it made lots of people think about starting their own businesses, or at the very least, a small side business. But here’s a sobering statistic to ponder: more than half of new businesses fail within the first five years.
Business Happens is built to help entrepreneurs beat those odds. It covers the practical, financial side of running a small business or professional practice, with the same plain-English approach Mitch brings to all of his work.
