Preflight Checklist: Is Self-Employment For You?

by Paul E. Casey

Preflight Checklist gives you a list of questions to ask yourself prior to starting your own business—to help you avoid major turbulence along your journey—much the same way a pilot goes through a preflight checklist prior to taking off. Drawing on his experience of running a successful business and interviewing hundreds of entrepreneurs, Paul E. Casey walks you through the 10 steps of thinking like an entrepreneur, dispels the 8 myths of self-employment, offers a 5-minute self-employment quiz, and much more. After you have read Preflight Checklist, you will have a clear understanding of what self-employment really means and what challenges await you once you decide to take off on your own.
