Have you ever thought about starting your own business? Or, is building a company something "other people" do? This is the all-in-one business book you've been looking for.

In these pages, you'll find:

• Real talk about the everyday problems entrepreneurs face.

In The Poster Boy, Chad Scott tells the story of a midwestern kid from Missouri who worked up the nerve to move to Chicago and chase his dream of becoming an entrepreneur. He didn't have a pile of cash or a bunch of connections-just a great idea and the willpower to see it through to the bitter end.

This book is half-memoir and half-guide. Chapters alternate between Chad's story and practical business lessons designed to take you from a business idea to a lucrative business.

Don't let your fears keep you from getting into the game. Young, old, rich, poor, success, or failure-if you've ever wanted to start your own business, this book is for you.
