Hard to believe it was 10 months ago on our summer vacation looking out the window at the Oregon Coast... I asked myself WHATS NEXT?

My preview readers are finishing their first look at the book. The feedback so far is very positive, with some detailed and constructive ideas for improvement. There's work to do but the message is resonating.

I have also spoken on it at Toastmasters three times. Each time one or more people come up to me after and tell me a story. It usually begins with "I wish my dad..."  Or, they ask me a question: "How can I...?"

Hard to believe it was 10 months ago on our summer vacation looking out the window at the Oregon Coast... I asked myself "What's next...?"  The book talks about the power of decision. I made a decision and here I am! The words: What, How and When are power words!

BIG Day! I sent the preview edition of Ownership Ladder How a Smart Employee Can Buy Out the Boss to my reader volunteers. If you'd like to join them let me know.

A big day in the early life of Ownership Ladder

A big day in the early life of Ownership Ladder

Today, I created the book intro and the section summaries. Ready to format and e-book it for test readers.

Also! I had lunch with a local Economic Development Corporation and they invited me to speak about the book at their monthly lunch. If it goes well, virtually every town and city in Texas has an EDC.

Promising opportunities.

The stats

In the USA there are:

5,000,000 total businesses *

4,995,000 privately held **

4,715,000 small businesses***

4,450,000 business employ fewer than ten people

Of the 180,000,000 people employed…

90,000,000 are employed by the 4,995,000 privately held businesses.

These numbers are rounded for simplicity.
* Note, this excludes solo businesses with one employee
** I have included the approximately 10,000 thinly, or not traded OTC stocks.
*** This includes businesses with more than 10 but less than 100 employees.
