"One of the best resources for startup businesses." --Inc. Magazine. Few people are as qualified to put together a road map for on-your-own success as acclaimed author Terri Lonier. A marketing consultant who works exclusively with small and startup companies, she has also been conducting workshops for entrepreneurs since 1981. In this easy-to-follow guide, Lonier draws on her many years of experience to advise readers on such essentials as choosing the right business, selecting the form of business, getting money without a bank loan, locating resources, cost effective marketing, and more. The new edition includes details on the new legal option, the Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) which is revolutionizing how entrepreneurial enterprises function.

Everybody says you must have a business plan, but everything I ever saw on writing one was a little over my head and confusing. Terri WALKS you through the process of writing your business plan. By the time you get done with her process, you're excited to start! She's very clear and down-to-earth, you don't get corporatese language thrown at you. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is new to the business world, but wants to get started.
Realistic, readable, helpful, and valuable book

It's so refreshing to read a business book with real substance. So many books published in the last years introduce or exploit a new buzzword, have three pages of interesting content, and then go on for another 300 pages of filler. As a result, I've become reluctant to read business books published recently. But 'Working Solo' goes beyond buzzwords. Over the next few years Terri Lonier's book and her ideas will be an extremely valuable resource in efforts of many people searching freedom and financial success with their own home business.This book is a gem. Going solo--in a company with your home PC--has never been such an attractive workplace option as it is right now. Computers plus communications creating a new fruitfull environment for personal business of every men/women. 'Working Solo' is the perfect guide for the new breed of entrepreneurs who will create the new products, markets, and services for the 21st century. Thank you for the new path to the personal freedom and success, Terri!

WORKING SOLO is great! Budding entrepeneurs take note! Terri Lonier has compiled, written and devoted herself to the new business owner's lack of knowledge of BUSINESS by doing the work of several people at once. If you need resources and help with your vision statement or business plan get WORKING SOLO. All you need is here to be read and digested, then acted upon. She does more by including two appendixes for more resources. And, check out the last chapter: THE FUTURE IS HERE. This is not a magic "solve your life problems by going into business book". It's real, vibrant and helpful. Get it!
