In my last post, Q&A with Jack Garson Part 1, we talked about why it's a great time to start your business, how you can sell it in a recession and why you want nothing to do with CAT TV. Now, let's talk about How to Build a Business and Sell It for Millions: The Book.

Q. What distinguishes your book from others on the subject?
JG: I’m in the trenches every day, working with people to start, fix and sell their companies. I’m writing from those trenches. The book is not just readable; it’s packed with real life lessons. Why not learn from those who have been there?

Q: What was the inspiration for your book?
JG: For more than 20 years, I’ve followed the successes and failures of my clients and their opponents. I closely watched those who made a fortune, and learned how they did it—and studied those who failed, and why. Over and over, I saw what worked and what didn’t.

I have countless examples of people who seemed to have a virtual printing press for money. In business, they knew how to put the parts together. But others could be handed a briefcase full of gold bars and still end up broke.

Q: To whom do you think the book appeals most?
JG: The book is for everyone affected by the current economy. It’s for business owners who are working hard, but find they’re just beating their heads against a wall. It’s also for people who are starting a business—and want to get it right the first time. Often, the solutions are hard. But not solving the problems is much harder.

In this video, I talk about how the book is based on real life examples of what works and what doesn't work.
