Entrepreneurship

About The Book

Entrepreneurship is often portrayed as a simple formula: have a great idea and success will follow. In reality, building a successful business requires far more than inspiration.

In You Want To Be An Entrepreneur, Jeff Stoller breaks down the real foundations of entrepreneurship — from evaluating ideas and structuring businesses to managing finances and avoiding legal mistakes.

Drawing from his experience as a lawyer, professor at the USC School of Business, and the highest-earning individual freelancer on Upwork, Stoller shares practical lessons that every entrepreneur should know before launching a business.

This book acts as a roadmap for aspiring entrepreneurs, helping you see the big picture and make smarter decisions that lead to long-term success.

Praise for the Book

"Helpful and Informative"

"Whether you are brand new as an entrepreneur or an old veteran, this book is full of helpful information. The author's background as an attorney was apparent as he went into considerable detail to explain the various kinds of business structures and some of the implications of each. He also talked about the pros and cons of being "the boss" versus working for someone else. Overall, a good read and well worth the time. A very thought-provoking book."
