?? It’s Here! My Book, Smart From the Start, is Officially Out!
Hey LinkedIn,
If you’ve ever thought, “Man, I wish someone had told me this before I started my business,” then this book is for you.
I’m beyond excited to announce the release of Smart From the Start: Avoid Learning Business Lessons the Hard Way—a book that distills the hard-hitting, no-nonsense business lessons I wish I had known when I first jumped into entrepreneurship.
This isn’t your typical business book filled with vague motivational fluff. This is a straight-shooting guide to help you avoid costly mistakes, cut through the noise, and build a solid foundation for success.
Why I Wrote This Book
I’ve learned a lot over the years—some lessons the easy way, but most the hard way. And if I had just known a few key things early on, I could’ve saved myself a lot of time, money, and stress.
I wrote Smart From the Start to help first-time entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and even business veterans avoid those same painful mistakes. This book is packed with real talk, real strategies, and real-world insights that you can put to use immediately.
What You’ll Learn
?? The Core Business Lessons No One Tells You – The unspoken rules that separate struggling businesses from thriving ones.
?? How to Make the Right Moves Early – From business structure to cash flow management, these are the must-know basics most people skip (and regret later).
?? How to Keep More of What You Earn – Pricing, expenses, taxes, and profitability hacks that ensure you don’t just make money—you keep it.
?? Avoiding the Common Traps That Sink Businesses – I break down the biggest rookie mistakes and how to dodge them before they derail your progress.
?? How to Scale Smartly & Sustainably – Growth is great—unless it’s the kind that runs your business into the ground. Learn how to expand without imploding.
Who Is This Book For?
? New Entrepreneurs – You’ve got the vision, but you don’t know what you don’t know. This book fills in the gaps.
? Side Hustlers & Freelancers – If you’re turning your skills into a business, learn how to do it the right way from day one.
? Business Owners Who Feel Stuck – If your business is running you (instead of the other way around), this book will help you regain control.
? Aspiring Entrepreneurs Who Want a Head Start – Thinking about launching something soon? Read this first and save yourself years of headaches.
