The Start-Up Kit

Hello again.

This week I want to introduce you to a great new resource for anyone looking to start their own business. It’s from a company called Brightword Publishing and is called “The Start-Up Kit”.

The kit contains a book and a number of excellent, money-saving offers from leading business brands to help the budding entrepreneur in the early stages of setting up a business.
These include free business cards and sales contact lists, discounts on HP products and O2 mobile phone deals and further offers that could save you up to a total of £400.

The book is written by Emma Jones, a small business expert and author of other business start-up guides such as Spare Room Start-Up and Working 5 to 9.
It is very well laid out and provides a wealth of Internet resources for small businesses and anyone looking to go it alone.
The guide is split into three sections, Prepare, Launch and Grow, and there is a section at the back containing a number of helpful templates that you might need throughout each of the stages described in the book.

In my opinion, one of the best features of the book are the numerous case studies it contains, written by individuals who have started their own businesses, about the challenges they have faced and their advice for business success - some of them are very inspiring.

If you are serious about starting up on your own, then the offers alone make the kit a worthwhile purchase, but I think the book will certainly prove to be a valuable reference resource as well.

You can buy a copy of the kit from the website below. If you do, I hope you enjoy it, I would be even more delighted if you quoted our referral number when you buy, this is also shown below, and I thank you in advance if you do decide to use it.

Until next time.

The Entrepreneur Revolution

Welcome back to Write Away, the blog for small business owners, freelancers and anyone looking to work for themselves. We don't often feature book reviews on Write Away, but felt the need to make an exception with a book we've just finished, as it felt so relevant to our followers, those looking to work for themselves and create new businesses. The book is Entrepreneur Revolution by Daniel Priestley. In his introduction Daniel Priestley describes an entrepreneur as "someone who spots an opportunity and acts to make it into a commercial success" and in this simple description he challenges the common preconception that entrepreneurs are a different breed to the rest of us - the only difference is often in the way they think and approach things. This is the main concept of this riveting book - it aims to develop the entrepreneurial mindset in all of us and starts by predicting that we are living in a period of great change relating to the way the world does ...
