15.4 percent of people in the U.S. are involved in a startup business one way or another. In 2023 there were 5.47 million new startup applications in the United States. Of these, up to 90 percent will fail, meaning the people who had an idea failed to pull it off and quite likely lost some of their money as well as money from family and friends.
After the Idea, How to Turn Your Idea Into A Business was created to try to change this. The book consists of a concise checklist laying out sequential steps for those who want to break out on their own and create their own business.
After The Idea was conceived, designed and created by those who have already been “there.” “There” is a funny place, because there is no “there.” It’s a state of mind and a practical state of achieving what was first only an idea.
Getting there is achieved by nothing short of hard work, sleepless nights, and taking risks when rewards are not guaranteed.
“I’ve been waiting a long time for someone to write a book like this. No one is more qualified to write it than a legend who’s seen and done it all. I wish someone would’ve written this book when I was just starting out, it would have saved me a whole lot of pain. Finally, a complete step-by-step entrepreneurial guide from the guy who’s been there and actually done that more than most.”
