Overview

A guide to help make the most of your mid-career entrepreneurial pursuits...whether they were originally planned for or not. Employee to Entrepreneur is the audiobook to help entrepreneurially minded professionals seize the opportunity offered by the current economic environment to begin a "second act" in their careers. This complete guide explores the full range of questions and concerns voiced by mid-career entrepreneurs, including: how to get started after a lifetime of having other bosses, risks and rewards of making the entrepreneurial leap, and the drawbacks to starting a business under the constraints of traditional start-up costs. Aspiring entrepreneurs will learn to: - Recognize why the right business fit is so important. - Understand the impact that proper funding can have on the future success of a business. - Assess the financial risks and potential rewards of funding their business using a self-directed 401(k). - Avoid common mistakes by learning through the experiences of others. - Gain the needed confidence to act on making their dreams a reality. William Seagraves, a seasoned and serial entrepreneur himself, carefully deconstructs each part of the process so that the listener is able to honestly evaluate first themselves and second the unique mid-career business opportunity at hand. The audio includes wide-ranging advice from a financial professional who has helped hundreds of clients navigate the tricky waters of this mid-career change. This will be the go-to resource for the rapidly growing number of mid-career entrepreneurs.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

02/15/2016
This brief guide to planning, funding, starting, growing, and selling a small business is also padded with checklists and quizzes, so Seagraves, founder of business advice company Catchfire Funding, does not have the page space to offer any in-depth information. Aimed at midcareer, upper middle-class professionals, each point in the book is illustrated with a short example from the career of a business or franchise owner. Even though most of the ideas are not new, they are sensible and down to earth. The author's advice on funding a start-up with a self-directed 401(k) is an unusual topic for a business book. This would be a solid choice for readers who picked up Starting a Business All-in-One for Dummies and found it too dense. VERDICT This decent, very short work is recommended for midcareer readers who are beginning the process of starting a business.—Jessica Spears, Brooklyn P.L.
