Afterword:
Where to Go from Here?

IT MAY BE SAFE TO ASSUME that if you’ve just finished reading this book, you are one of two types of individuals. The curious reader may have been interested in learning how a potentially successful business could be envisioned, created and then finally launched to compete in the marketplace. For curious readers, these pages may have even sparked your imagination about becoming an entrepreneur one day. Curious readers have always shown interest in educating and informing themselves on a new topic and enhancing their knowledgebase while doing so.

The serious reader may have chosen to read our book because he or she may have already decided to toss a hat in the ring and become an entrepreneur. Or perhaps, you’ve launched your business, and now additional tools, expert guidance, and real-world examples of business finance are vital to your success. A serious reader never stops perusing every possible source for innovative ideas, the next greatest trend, or even a leg up on the competition.

Curious or serious, we hope that everyone who has read this fourth volume of our series found the material worthy of your time. Regardless of how or why you found us, we are glad you did.

For the guys who wrote this volume, and also founded the Expert Business Advice website, the philosophy was simple:

• Create material of substance and value that can continue to be expanded indefinitely for the benefit of the reader, the customer, and the business professional

• Deliver the best possible ideas, resources and guidance to those who seek it

• Take ownership of our work, stand by it, and be proud of it

Developing this material from several points of view and delivering it to people from diverse backgrounds and with multiple levels of experience was crucial for us. In fact, it was the only way we could imagine doing it.

Simply put, our goal with this series shares the same vision as our own company’s slogan: “Experts Create | We Deliver | You Apply.”

The way forward begins here…
