Congratulations! You’ve decided to work for yourself. And it’s pretty awesome. Not only are you doing what you love, but you get to work wherever you want, whenever you want. You’re floating on a cloud of endorphins, puppies and rainbows! And then, like the morning after too many glasses of Cabernet, it hits you: You have a great idea and you’re really good at what you do but you have no flipping idea how to attract attention, buzz or loyal fans, customers or clients.

Guess what? Being a “solopreneur” isn’t easy. If it were, everyone would do it. But you’re not everyone. You’re smart, driven and have an amazing idea. You’re going to drive this damn wagon, just as soon as you figure out where somebody hid the keys.

The Juicy Guide to Entrepreneurship: Advice on How to Energize your Brand and Squeeze More Soul into Your Business addresses universal hurdles in going solo. You’ve probably got a lot of questions about working for yourself. Little things you know would take your business from great idea to Successtown. If you’ve ever wished you could talk to someone who’s launched and sustained a thriving business, this book is for you.

You’ll walk away armed with helpful advice on:

• how to find new clients or customers in unexpected ways

• how to motivate yourself after a long break (hello, maternity leave or sabbatical!)

• how to prioritize your time and budget

• how to create an authentic brand that customers adore

• why you need to write a mission statement

• …and more!
