I have coached countless entrepreneurs throughout the years, and I can say with great certainty that most of them do not have the appropriate legal protections around their businesses. That’s why I am thrilled that Cheri Andrews has written her book, Smooth Sailing: A Practical Guide to Legally Protecting Your Business. This book is packed with practical tips, and Cheri’s writing style is approachable and understandable (no legalese here!). If you own a business, here’s the next book you should buy!

Cheri Andrews has written the most concise, usable, practical guide to legally starting, running, and growing your business. The best part? It's in plain English and the advice is spot-on. I easily recognized a half dozen mistakes and oversights that cost me plenty in the first few years of my entrepreneurial journey. Read this book - use this book - and your small business won't stay small for very long!

Smooth Sailing: A Practical Guide to Legally Protecting Your Business is the perfect resource for small business owners, solopreneurs and entrepreneurs alike when it comes to helping people to better understand the legalities of their business. There are SO many hats that a business owner has to wear as they build, grow and maintain their business. Having a legally sound business is just one of the hugely important facets that needs to be attended to in order to be safe and protected. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a copy of Cheri’s book so that you can educate yourself about what your particular business needs. Even better, hire Cheri to help you to put it all into place. I did and I sleep soundly at night knowing that my business is legally protected. Thank you, Cheri, for helping people to understand what can be quite complex and confusing and in a very simplistic and easy to comprehend way!
