THEN THE FACTS OF BUSINESS LIFE IS FOR YOU!

Written by a successful business owner with four decades of
experience, The Facts of Business Life is full of real-world
concepts that owners must use and embrace if they want to become
and stay successful. This multiple award-winning book has been
endorsed by some of America's top business leaders, like
Steve Forbes and Ken Fisher, and has been recognized as "one
of the best five business books of the year" and "a
must read for entrepreneurs or those wanting to be one."

McBean begins with clear explanations and real-life examples of
the seven Facts of Business Life that every successful business
owner knows and executes consistently, including exactly what they
are as well as how and when to use them. He then goes on to show
how those facts impact on the five levels every successful business
passes through, from "Ownership and Opportunity" to
"Moving On When It's Time to Go," explaining that
while the facts themselves remain the same, as a business becomes
successful and moves through its life cycle, the way they are
applied must change to fit changing circumstances.

But there are even more reasons why this breakthrough business
book is a must read, including:

* Its principles are based on the author's own experience
in starting and running successful businesses in a variety of
industries.

* It shows that the most successful businesspeople create
profitable opportunities rather than wait for them to present
themselves.

* It enables readers to analyze the likelihood of their own
success based on the characteristics most successful owners
have.

* It reveals the #1 priority for all owners and their employees,
and why every owner needs to continually focus on it (Hint:
it's not being profitable).

* It emphasizes that becoming successful is no guarantee that
success will last, and that success itself can be a trap that
eventually leads to failure.

* It shows that a business's culture isn't just a
mission statement but also the processes created to operate the
business and the employees who implement them.

* It discusses the steps that must be taken even before a
business is started to increase the odds of its becoming a lasting
success.

* It covers every step in a business' life cycle, including
the last one, showing that the best time to exit a business is when
you don't have to, and that unless you pick that time,
someone else will.
