Includes a foreword by Timothy Kaine, governor of Virginia. There is little job security left in Corporate America. Those seeking a way out of this dilemma must risk more than ever in these turbulent economic times.
This is why both beginning and seasoned entrepreneurs need 401 Questions Every Entrepreneur Should Ask, an invaluable, comprehensive reference resource.
Jim Silvester brings 27 years of professional and educational experience to this work. The book examines 25 functional areas of operation of the typical entrepreneurial firm. It then poses the hundreds of questions any entrepreneur should ask, the answers to which will essentially create an "operational X-ray" of your business operation.

Do you have a written statement of your company's mission or purpose?
How do you predict future developments in your industry?
Have you planned for technological changes that may affect your business?
How do you stay on top of cash flow?
How involved are your managers in planning, operations, and finances?
Do you have someone ready to take your place in case of an emergency?
