ÒThe What Nots of EntrepreneurshipÓ offers an honest look at the common and not so common mistakes made by aspiring entrepreneurs. Long-time educator now author Angela Grayson unapologetically lays out EVERYTHING she did wrong while running what was a seemingly successful educational services enterprise.
ÒI have learned that you canÕt be afraid to tackle all aspects of the business,Ó writes Grayson. ÒI didnÕt see the value in the things I didnÕt understand.Ó
As a licensed, ordained minister, Grayson also chronicles the test of her faith as she grappled with alcoholism, stress, borderline bankruptcy, $80,000 in IRS penalties, dishonest employees, marital challenges and the eventual close of her business.
ÒLooking back has been painful, but if my mistakes will help someone learn the ropes and avoid the pitfalls without losing it all, my hardships will have been worth it.Ó
