There is a glut of books on the market targeting new-starts and small businesses. Sifting through the descriptions to determine their usefulness is no easy task. Worse yet is the fact that most are focused on the needs of product-oriented businesses, leaving those of us who primarily provide services feeling underserved and dissatisfied all too often.When I was gearing up to start my document research business, I predictably combed libraries and bookstores looking for that magic bullet of a book that would put me on the path to success at launch and in the early years of building my business. Those efforts led me to a short list of useful sources—among them a wonderful book entitled "Building & Running a Successful Research Business: A Guide for the Independent Information Professional" by Mary Ellen Bates. Since that book directly and concretely addressed my needs and provided me with ample guidance to accomplish my goals, I figured my quest was over.And then along came "The Reluctant Entrepreneur: Making a Living Doing What You Love," another title by Mary Ellen Bates. As with her earlier publication, Bates hits the business book trifecta by providing inspiration, strategies, and tools for launching a new-start and building upon it. But "The Reluctant Entrepreneur" doesn’t simply rehash content from her earlier work. Instead, it presents her latest insights and approaches to entrepreneurship distilled from a professional life that embraces a marketplace fraught with change and teeming with new opportunities.
