The Unofficial Guide to Starting a Small Business
Author: Marcia Layton Turner
I started (and later sold) my small business...this book was a great resource. It's time to pass it on to someone else so they can "live the dream" too.

Many of these "accidental entrepreneurs" are corporate refugees who have chosen self-employment by default.
