Change or Go Broke: Straight Talk about Small Business

by Kevin Hanville

Change or Go Broke cuts through the hype and fads and tells the truth about running a small business.

Hanville's straightforward and practical wisdom is fortified with light-hearted humor, providing the reader with an entertaining and thorough examination of all the wrong-headed business assumptions about how to make a small company work.

Editorial Reviews

Kevin writes like he talks...straight to the heart of the matter, with passion and experience birthed in the trenches. A must-read for any business owner today. If you are sitting on the fence wondering whether you should start your own busines, the book will move you to one side or the other. No fence-sitting allowed. Ignore Kevin's observations at your own risk (and money).

I had the opportunity to see Kevin Hanville speak at a conference and read his book shortly there after. His candor and candid presentation was very refreshing. The book like his presentation tells it like it is. Often this kind of subject matter is frought with false platitudes and meaningless observations - often so sugar coated as to be meaningless.

Someone gave me a copy of this book and it laid on my desk for months. As a 62 year old who has run his own business for 31 years I am very glad I finally picked it up and read it. This is the most helpful business book I have ever read. If you are a young person just starting out and if you followed the advice in this book you would increase your chances for success exponentially. A different look at the running of a business. In this case unorthodox means right on.

Change or Go Broke tells it like it is for small businesses. If you are thinking about starting a business, work in a small business, or are considering working for a small business, then you should read this book. I've worked in, owned, and run a small business for the past 20+ years and I've recently started 2 new businesses. Based on my experience, this book hit the nail on the head. You'll learn the bold truth about small businesses that everybody else is afraid to tell you or simply doesn't
