“For most small businesses, the key to long-term success is having an ownership stake. But for many small business owners, ownership means just getting started. No one wants to invest thousands in a business just to have to figure out how to manage it later. The creators of The Employee’s Ultimate Guide to Small Business Management are passionate about helping entrepreneurs understand their employees and their own relationships with them. This book not only provides the latest information on working with employees, but it also addresses issues surrounding sexual harassment and discrimination.”

– Charles Schwab “A book that changed my life is Charles Schwab’s ‘The Six Sigma Strategy.’ This book is chock full of management advice and techniques for small business owners. Some of Schwab’s chapters include: ‘What Management is All About,’ ‘The Business Side of Management,’ and ‘Six Sigma.’ Charles Schwab’s basic premise behind Six Sigma is that by identifying and correcting the Six Sigma defects your company may be able to realize its profit potential. This may be the best small business management tip you will ever receive.”
– Oprah Winfrey “If you are an aspiring entrepreneur or already run a small business, I know that you’ve heard the one famous line attributed to many successful people, ‘Do what you love,’ but what if you didn’t enjoy doing it? What if you realized that there were other things in life you could do instead? If you haven’t found what you’re looking for yet, just flip through a magazine or visit a website devoted to the careers of the rich and famous and you will see all kinds of opportunities. You may find yourself interviewing for a job you hate, or trying to figure out what you want to do with your life when the time comes. If you’re already working in a job you don’t like, or don’t think you’ll enjoy in the future, take action now and start researching opportunities related to what you really love. I think you’ll find that the best small business management tips come to those who least expect them.”
