More than a million people start a small business every year. Unfortunately, about the same number go out of business every year. The mortality rate for small businesses is high because most entrepreneurs don't know what to do when the shit hits the fan ...and it always does. There are things that are going to happen that no textbook will ever warn you about, because no small business operates like the textbooks say it should. After 30 years running his own small businesses and helping others with theirs, Barry Thomsen has seen all the things that can go wrong, all the solutions that just don't work, and all the ways to keep the doors open...if only for another month. There is much more to starting, running, and succeeding at a business than buying a nice sign and ordering business cards. There are many commonsense answers to the everyday problems that affect most small businesses. An owner must meet these head-on...or head them off before they start. When the Shit Hits the Fan! will help you survive when it seems as though bullets are coming from every direction at once. You'll learn tried-and-true ways to deal with everything from poor cash flow, bad publicity, and unanticipated market changes to problem employees, irate customers, and weather disasters. Book jacket.
