Being Your Own Boss to Control Your Own Destiny – What a Wonderful Place to Be

Phoenix, AZ – During this time of recession when most people are barely clinging to their jobs and possibly hate what they are doing but happy to get a paycheck, along comes a man who advocates ‘chucking it all in and doing your own thing’ – believing that you will never look back!  Jeffrey Taylor is this man.  He worked in corporate America from 1975 to1984 when he decided he had had enough and changed his life forever by becoming an entrepreneur.  His latest book Going From W2 to 1099 (Executive Caliber) is not a textbook for starting a business (there are way too many of those out there already) but is an informative guide for the days when you run out of ideas and are tempted to give up.  With twenty-five successful years under his belt, Taylor knows and shares how to stretch dollars in order to stay in business.

Taylor understands first-hand the fears and problems that arise when owning a business and offers help to get started, with advice on handling problems in a no-nonsense, common-sense way – adding his philosophy of taking charge and not wasting time worrying about things you have no control over.  Instead he believes in getting success from paying as little as possible for services, thus gaining the most revenue for your time and efforts.  He stresses the importance of taking basic business courses and the need for a good business plan, knowing that even during a bad economic climate there is money to be made.  It’s a matter of finding the right combination of what the public needs and what you have to offer in order to build a successful business.  In his latest book he outlines some of the key issues that entrepreneurs face, including transitioning from a job to ownership, finding clients, defining the business, looking for where people need what you have to offer, and deciding who you can trust. 

Jeffrey Taylor is a man who has walked the talk.  He is the founder of Jeffrey Taylor Group, a holding company for various operating businesses that range from film and TV production advisor to operating a luxury cruise agency.  He is also no stranger to the self-help book market and has previously published two textbooks on the equipment leasing industry, as well as a fascinating autobiography on his life as a recovering alcoholic (A Gentleman Drunk).  In between his busy business schedule, he finds time to give back to the community by teaching commercial real estate courses.  Visit his web sites at: www.jeffreytaylorgroup.com and www.goingfromw2to1099.com.

TIP SHEET:

Readers rave about Taylor’s book:

“The book boldly and clearly benefits everyone.  It’s got ‘Joe Six-Pack’ attitude yet also appeals to people higher up the corporate ladder who have been downsized into unemployment.”

“Although the book suggests ‘reading in one setting doesn’t make sense’ – I couldn’t stop myself.  Timely material – timeless advice.  Looking forward to reading it again and again.”

“Really enjoyed reading your book.  It was informative and entertaining, and as a recent 1099-er myself, I found it very helpful.”

“Very funny and educational.  Another winner.  Way to interject recovery with everyday life laced with personal experience and knowledge backed up with research.”

“A clever, compelling, and entertaining guide for those transitioning to self-employment…as easy to read as A,B,C.”
