100 THINGS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE I STARTED MY BUSINESS - VOLUME II

Drawing from hard-earned experience and costly mistakes, this practical guide delivers 100 essential lessons every entrepreneur needs before launching their business. R. Dale Brunet cuts through motivational fluff to provide real-world insights on the operational foundations that make or break new ventures. The book covers critical areas often overlooked by first-time business owners: legal structures, tax implications, commercial leases, hiring practices, and financial management. Beyond the mechanics, Brunet explores the psychological challenges of entrepreneurship, addressing burnout, decision fatigue, and the personal growth required to scale a business successfully. Organized into thirteen thematic chapters, each lesson builds upon practical experience rather than academic theory. Whether you're contemplating your first venture or already launched but feeling overwhelmed, this field manual provides the clarity and systems needed to navigate entrepreneurship's hidden curriculum. Written in plain English with honest, unfiltered advice, this book serves as the guide Brunet wished he'd had when starting out—helping readers avoid expensive learning curves and build sustainable businesses from day one.
