Publisher's summary

A must-listen for any would-be entrepreneur

Blueprint to Business is the ultimate guide to becoming a successful entrepreneur. Best-selling author and CEO Mike Alden puts aside the rainbows and sunshine, gets real about what it takes to "make it", and gives you the real-world guidance you need to hear. Through anecdotes and advice, he shares his experiences along with those of other top founders and entrepreneurs to give you a realistic picture of what it takes to build a business. It's a bit of tough love, a healthy dose of reality, and a tremendously motivating guide to striking out on your own; from motivation and commitment to business licenses and the IRS, this guide is your personal audio handbook for the biggest adventure of your career.

So you want to start a business: how much are you willing to commit in terms of time, money, and energy? How do you plan to bring in customers? What will set you apart from the crowd? What will convince clients to come to you rather than your competitor with an established track record? These questions must be answered before you even begin planning - and then, you have to make that canyon-sized leap from planning to doing. This book guides you through the early stages with practical advice from a real-world perspective.

Great Perspective From a REAL Entrepreneur

Alden gives a great perspective on learning from his own failures and how to be successful in business. Many other business books seem to regurgitate the same stuff over and over, but this is not that book. From someone who has made hundreds of millions and had highs and lows he shares his experience and doesn't sugar coat with a typical "YOU TOO CAN DO IT!" He is very blunt that if you aren't willing to put in the work, stop listening, this isn't for you. I personally have made millions across multiple industries over the past few years, and his knowledge is phenomenal. Most books I can get 1 or 2 nuggets from the whole book. I get 1 or 2 nuggets each chapter. Highly recommended!

Exceeded expectations

Very logical and practical guide. Tells you what works not what is popular or what you want to hear.
