GMS Publishing Releases Second Book by Author Stephen J. Blakesley

Houston, TX (PRWEB) June 26, 2012

Independent publisher, GMS Publishing, a wholly owned subsidiary of GMS Talent, Inc., Houston Texas, announces the release of the second book by author Stephen J. Blakesley. The Entrepreneur Next Door delivers what graduate business programs and MBAs neglect-practical street experience for entrepreneurs. The author, a serial entrepreneur himself is well equipped to offer meaningful and insightful direction to any and all attempting a business startup of every kind.
Blakesley, a veteran of startup efforts, shares his own experiences and the experiences of other entrepreneurs appearing on his radio show:Entrepreneur R Us over the last 3 years. Author Blakesley says, “Most are not aware of the serious challenges entrepreneurs encounter when establishing a successful business.” The Entrepreneur Next Door is a book jam-packed with experiences, processes, and aids for the entrepreneur.
“I am really passionate about helping others improve their odds of success when starting a business,” remarks Blakesley. “Most are simply not aware that the odds are against them when they begin their own business venture,” he continued. Just a few of the gems in this book, according to his publisher are:

•     How to prepare a pitch to obtain financing
•     The steps necessary to developing a great business plan
•     The value that comes from selecting and working with a coach early in the startup process
•     How to build a team that will aid you in achieving your goal rather than anchoring you to your past.

“Nearly 500,000 people a year start a business in America, every year and unfortunately, most will fail before realizing their dream,” author Blakesley says. My goal is to increase the odds of that dream coming true. Reading about other entrepreneurs is sometimes discouraging because most of the public stuff is about the Bill Gates of this world. You just don’t read about the entrepreneurs that contribute the most to our country (entrepreneurs are responsible for 50 percent of this country’s GDP), say author Blakesley. Now you can: The Entrepreneur Next Door.
