From the introduction:

Business ownership offers a unique classroom to learn the lessons of independence, commerce, and life. If you survive, you will quickly learn some of the skills necessary for you to succeed. These skills include learning about managing people, understanding client needs, inventory control, profit margins, work schedules, and legal agreements.

Some lessons just can’t be learned in a traditional classroom environment; they have to be learned in real life. Such lessons include learning that some clients just don’t pay their bills unless you hound them for months; bad checks cost you twice; shoplifting occurs even when you know all your customers by name; and the boss is the last person to schedule a vacation and the person who responds to the phone call from police at 3 a.m. for a burglar alarm. Like tens of thousands of other business owners in America, I learned these lessons in a “real world classroom” surrounded and supported by my family and friends.
