Running a Good Business: Self-Assessment for Tradeskill

by Claude Whitmyer

Overview

You can go to the most prestigious business school in the country and you won't find anyone talking about tradeskill. Chanting mantras, practicing visualizations, or taking a workshop won't help you acquire tradeskill. Tradeskill is different from being skilled at a trade. Being a good cook does not mean you will succeed at running a restaurant. When it comes to running a business, everyone thinks they can do it. Few actually even know what "it" is. Being successful at "it" takes tradeskill.

This ebook is a stand-alone self-assessment instrument for would be entrepreneurs or existing business owners who would like to determine if they have tradeskill and make a plan to strengthen the tradeskills that are weaker than you'd like them to be.
