    About this ebook

    You can go to the most prestigious business school in the country and you won't find anyone talking about tradeskill. Chanting mantras, practicing visualizations, or taking a workshop won't help you acquire tradeskill. Tradeskill is different from being skilled at a trade. Being a good cook does not mean you will succeed at running a restaurant. When it comes to running a business, everyone thinks they can do it. Few actually even know what "it" is. Being successful at "it" takes tradeskill.

    This ebook is a stand-alone self-assessment instrument for would be entrepreneurs or existing business owners who would like to determine if they have tradeskill and make a plan to strengthen the tradeskills that are weaker than you'd like them to be.
