THE SMALL BUSINESS SURVIVAL GUIDE

This E-Book is a workbook-styled guide built on the philosophy "No motivation. Just business." Instead of inspiration, it gives readers a step-by-step system for the three phases of small business life:

BEFORE YOU START — how to find an idea you can afford, test it with a 20-question market test before spending money, choose the right business model (trade vs service vs production), price so you don't sell yourself broke, and get your first 10 customers with zero ads.

KEEPING THE BUSINESS ALIVE — the survival systems most owners learn too late: why revenue ≠ profit, the Sunday cash-count rule that stops money from "finishing", a 5-minute-a-day record-keeping method (no accountant needed), how unsold stock silently eats cash, how to say "no" to credit sales politely, and a 3-bucket expense audit that cuts waste without killing sales.

FIXING & GROWING — a 15-point diagnosis for falling sales, when to hire/expand (and when not to), and how to get more money from customers you already have (repeat sales, bigger orders, referrals).

What makes it sellable: It includes 13 worksheets, checklists and templates (pricing worksheet, market test, cash tracker, stock sheet, credit-refusal scripts, etc.) plus a complete 30-day action plan — and it's written for beginners, with an honest warning that it makes no income guarantees.
