All of us, whether we reside in the United States or otherwise, are living through one of the most volatile global economies in world history. High interest rates, high prices for essentials, high taxes, high inflation, and high stock prices are stifling entrepreneurial hopes left and right; and, for one to risk it all for a new business venture is now looked at as strange and/or delusional. But, the caveat to this is for any economy to thrive, the middle class has to feel empowered to come up with innovative ways to generate revenue, contribute to their respective local and federal coffers, and learn how to manage their personal and professional budgets to ensure their financial futures. And, oftentimes, the only way to accomplish these aspirations is to transform the entrepreneurial landscape by defining goals, being resilient, and taking risks, because with no risk comes no reward.

This take-the-economy-by-the-horns attitude is at the core of Danielle Billetz-Reppert’s new book The Start of All Things Good: A Complete Guide to Building Your Business, a work meant to boost low morale and cheer on those brave enough to navigate unchartered entrepreneurial waters. Billetz-Reppert writes a complete guide that provides stellar advice to potential business owners and philanthropists who are planning their arduous journey toward exponential growth, fulfilling self-discovery, and better fiscal opportunities.

The Start of All Things Good is regimented to help novices understand what is needed for success: innovative thinking; continuous learning and curiosity; a results-driven focus; hustle; “crushing communication skills;” a customer first mentality; a knowledge of what the future holds; accountability and responsibility; and, networking and relationship building skills. All of these (including the need for failure and the realistic expectation that challenges are a part of everyday life) make for any variety of successful entrepreneurs, including those who are high-tech; niche; frugal; solo; global; minority; cross-border; and, policy/social. Billetz-Reppert spends several chapters defining entrepreneurial terminology and providing business tips to ensure those building a start-up can become successful: create a concept; do market research and analysis; develop a business model; write up a comprehensive plan; navigate legalities; raise capital and financing; and branding/marketing. Combined, The Start of All Things Good delivers thorough information to aspiring business owners.

Quill says: The Start of All Things Good gives potential entrepreneurs a solid step-by-step guide that can lead them to achieve prosperity.
