He offers a host of advice and tips on a variety of topics including: mentoring and networking; goal setting and perseverance; putting your time in; creating a business plan; understanding the business and sales life cycle; marketing; systematizing your business through outsourcing and automation; providing customer service and retaining customers; accounting and taxes; building a solid team; recession-proofing your business and your life; continuing education in small business; and winning. In the Black presents a firsthand look at what entrepreneurship is all about, sharing a treasure chest of information gleaned from more than seventeen years in the industry.
