Very few times in life, we pick up a great book and realize that we are enjoying it and learning something from it and we even want to read it again and again. We become part of the book and the book becomes part of us. This is what a classic book does. In business, there are only a very few classic books. We think that this is one of them. Published in 2008 by Battiston Publishing, Canada it explains in novel format (to protect the guilty) how business works and how many people have made their first billion. Is Miss Farsea setting the bar too high? Many of us would be quite happy making our first million or first thousand or even a couple of hundred extra dollars! We all need to start somewhere. This book is the best start for new or experienced entrepreneurs. Learn what works and what doesn't. Save yourself lots of money and grief. Does a millionaire work any harder than a billionaire? Or do they just do different things? Find out here.
The book is 420 pages just the right size -not too big and not too small. There are enough pages to explain many aspects of business that you will usually never hear about. As we all know, most books on business are very dry and frankly quite boring to read. Your Very First Billion is completely unique and very readable. It will keep you informed and entertained page after page. It's the type of book that once you pick it up you don't want to put it down again or give away. Although written with a Canadian perspective it applies equally well to business everywhere. It applies to start ups, students, small and large businesses and after reading it we think you will have a completely different attitude towards business. Suddenly, things will start to make sense and you will see by example how great wealth is created working just as hard or possibly not even as hard as the small business person or ma and pa operation. You will also understand why ma and pay won't get rich and why and it's not because they aren't working hard or aren't smart enough.
You will not find this book in bookstores. We distribute the book exclusively on-line via our North American printer. Each book is printed on demand. A download is also available. We do recommend the printed book format however because we think its much more enjoyable to read that way.
What's in the book? Quite a lot is the answer. Even listing the content would take about six pages. So we won't do that here. And simply listing the topics won't tell you about the information presented on those topics. In fact the information provided is usually not what you might expect. An example "e-commerce more and less complicated than it looks" " How Banks work" will surprise you. "Reports and Analysis" introduces a critical difference between the two which you likely have not considered. "Americans and Canadians" underlines the differences that business people understand when doing business with each group. A classic difference was discovered by Wal-mart when they first moved into Canada and discovered that their Greeter was getting entirely unexpected results at the door compared to American customers. Some quick changes were made.
In business, like life, somebody is always trying to eat you...
At the very least we think there is enough information here to save you tens of thousands of dollars in business. Even if you don't make your billion you will still be further ahead. Now remember this book is printed in North America using environmentally sensitive methods and paying our workers a living wage. We could sell the book for even less if we got it printed offshore in a sweat shop using dangerous inks and child labor. But that's not the way we conduct business.
A note about delivery. Our printer uses two delivery methods. Express delivery is very expensive and we don't recommend it. Regular delivery is your best value. Instant downloads are an option but we recommend the printed book because that format is much easier to read and enjoy. The advantage of the download is that you can keep in on your computer or laptop and have ready access to the information wherever you go.
We designed the cover for several purposes and one was to have some fun. Speaking from experience -when you are seen with this book people will notice you. Try reading it on a bus, train or plane or in a business meeting or office and suddenly everyone knows you have raised the bar. The cover itself is a great conversation piece. It also has this strange effect of attracting members of the opposite sex. I am not sure why. Also included in the book are several original cartoons by the Publisher penned especially for this publication. They are quite funny!
