  • Summary
  • Resources
I highly recommend coaches to read this before you quit your 'day' job - it has valuable information to help you decide if running a business is for you. The short book (about 30 pages) is a quick, easy read and covers lots of details to do with running a business that you'll need to know when setting up as a coach. I like that the author shares some things she wishes she'd done differently or had learned earlier - feels personal and like you're getting an advantage!
Very good book for coaching and academic work.
The book looks short and simple but of sufficient knowledge on the topic.
