Managing Your Business

The third in a 12-title series, A Crash Course for Entrepreneurs, that coaches prospective and new entrepreneurs in managing employees. Many novice entrepreneurs have little more than a brilliant idea and a pocketful of ambition. They may not be born managers. So they want to know "Now what?"
