“A superb . . . how-to book for any entrepreneur who not only wants to get their thoughts down to share with the world, but to leverage off their expertise.” –Geoff Hetherington, JG Hetherington, The Clarity CEO With the availability of self-publishing services and the rise of the entrepreneur as a thought leader, writing a book is becoming more appealing to an increasing number of small business owners. The problem? Most businesspeople aren’t writers, have never written a book before, are time poor and don’t know where to start. While many want to write a book, they worry about investing months of their time and thousands of their dollars to write something that isn’t any good, or even whether they will finish. Book Blueprint gives a step-by-step framework that any entrepreneur can follow to write a great book quickly, even if they’re not a writer.

Reading a blueprint is like reading a road map. It tells you exactly what you are required to build. Read it wrong and you will build it wrong -- and that can be expensive. This book explains how to read and interpret all types of electrical drawings and diagrams used in residential and commercial construction. There are details on electrical floor plans, lighting layouts, and schematics showing single line and block or power-riser diagrams for wiring circuits. Learn how to lay out an electrical project, what to look out for in dealing with construction specifications and drawings -- especially in terms of today's technology, how to use an engineer's scale for developing and reading site plans, and how to make up and use panel board, connected-load, and other schedules.
