Getting Rich In Your Underwear: How To Start And Run A Profitable Home-Based Business (Paperback)

If you are thinking about starting a home-based business, spend some time pondering this book.

Peter Hupalo has done all would-be entrepreneurs a favor by presenting a sober picture of the joys and tribulations of going-it-on-your-own. While I am not so sure about the underwear part, Hupalo offers a clear, well-written guide to starting your home-based business.

I have been home-based for more than 20 years. In my experience, you will need something covering your underwear if you plan to succeed. In my home state, Connecticut, the vast majority of business formations have failed within two years of their filing. To me success is a matter of prospecting, networking, execution and performance. That translates into face-to-face meeting. You will need some cloths.

In my opinion, the best chapter provides state-by-state resources for starting your business. It provides a detailed guide to local and state business regulations, licensing, state taxation, and name registration. This chapter alone justifies the book's price and any time you spend reading it.

If you have the proper make-up, working for yourself is great. But, as Hupalo correctly points out, there is an opportunity cost. If you understand it and accept the risks associated with that cost, you are well on your way to starting your business. This book will help you clarify those issues. Craig L.
