Notes from the
AUTHOR
In this book, you'll discover the essential tasks that are vital for launching your new business venture. Through my interactions with numerous business owners, helping many people start their businesses, and starting over 20 of my own, I developed a checklist to aid in this process. It covers the essentials and helps to make sure none of the important items are missed. Now this checklist has evolved into something more significant - a detailed workbook. The "Business Launch Journal" expands on each checklist item such as choosing a domain name, selecting logo colors, setting up a merchant account, and obtaining an EIN. It pairs these with informative guides and includes journal pages, allowing you to record your ideas and thoughts as you navigate this exciting process of starting your business. These tasks are fundamental to any business operation and will be referenced and utilized countless times. That's why this book focuses on such practicalities, along with other indispensable tools and insights. Here’s to your successful start and happy beginnings!
