About us pages can be SO BORING!
So I am going to spice this up a bit with my story and not the usual “blah blah blah stuff.
Why?….because I really have been there and (to be blunt), it SUCKED!
When I tried to start my first real business, I ran in to a TON of horrible and frustrating problems.
I ran into one dead-end and wild-goose-chase after another trying to get my small business started.
Most people think it’s “easy”, but it’s Not!
And it was driving me NUTS!
I wasted a huge amount of time and money trying to figure out something that “Should” be simple.
For starters, I found an endless supply of web sites that look like they will help you or “do it for you”, but in truth they only provide low-quality stuff that is nothing but a joke (FYI, there are a ton of outright scams on the internet too, please be careful!).
(Speaking of which, I created this FREE guide on how to spot and avoid some of the most common scams and “almost-scams” out there: https://csmithpublishing.gumroad.com/l/hejjzy Please Note* When ordering put a Zero in the “Name a fair price” part of the order form and it will be free for you to download)
Anyhow, things got CRAZY and I was fed up!…all I was looking for was some type of basic guidance that could help me and maybe walk me through the process a bit.
I could not find it, what I did find was nothing but a HUGE never-ending pile of junk designed to empty my wallet.
Sadly, many of the “Official” (government) sites are also not very clear or easy to use. Don’t get me wrong, some are ok and useable, but I also found a good amount of vague, un-helpful and confusing stuff too.
All of this is “Why” I wrote The First Real Steps business eBook and kept it as direct, simple and easy to use as possible.
I got REALLY sick of the hot-air, lies and misleading nonsense out there. And just so you understand, it is everywhere!
As I said, all I really wanted was to get my small business up and running. My main goal was to make everything official, legitimate and on the record and know that everything was setup correctly.
Sadly, over the last few years I have found SO much more garbage that not long ago I took the time to re-write and update my entire book. I did this to make the first chapter about avoiding scams.
Here’s a free tip, even if it looks “Official” please do some research to verify that it is, or if it’s just another scam. The fakers out there are really good at fooling people!
As for myself, I did not have many choices because I was determined to start my own business. It was either quit or push ahead and try to somehow do something relevant.
The fact is, you can avoid the big mess that I had to go through.
The problem for me was that I was looking for a guide that didn’t actually exist. That is until I took all of my notes and turned that into an amazing (or at least not too horrible) eBook focused on helping others to start their business.
And now here I am writing an “About us” page for my eBook web site (I love the irony of coming full-circle with this!).
And now my business is writing eBooks and creating products to help people.
But let’s get real here, this is not all about me, this is also about you too, because if you are reading this you are also looking for serious and solid information on how to start your business just like I was.
This reason is exactly why I created The First Real Steps business book and why it’s so inexpensive (Less than $20).
Full disclosure: Why is the price that low?
- It’s that way to help you save money and to make it accessible for more people.
- And, I do have to charge something to help me pay for the monthly website hosting fees and other services to keep everything up and running.
So if you are looking for the usual “Gotcha!” or the strings-attached moment, this is the usual place it is hiding, however you will not find one here!
Heck, I don’t even ask for your email address and no, I do not want it!
Please Note: I cannot and do not speak for the eBook seller platforms that I use (Gumroad, and a few others) they might ask for an email address. However, I do not. And, I have zero access to any of their data, I do not own, represent or control any of those companies nor am I affiliated with them beyond using their platform to put my stuff up for sale.
As a creator and book-seller on various platforms, all I can see is when I have sold an eBook and some of the other basic non-private info like what country did the sale originate and what amount I get after their fees.
So, no worries, you will not be getting junk-mail from me!
All that I offer are inexpensive eBooks, business blueprints and digital business tool-kits to help You to get on the right path so you can get your business started.
Why do any of this?….because I strongly believe positive action creates MORE positive action, maybe someday you will create something to help others out. (and hopefully you will not have to go through the same B.S. like I have)
And yes, we do need MANY more people in the world to start and have their own businesses and become Successful!
Thank you for reading this, and I sincerely wish you the best!
