About this ebook
John Hadfield
I started my own company in 1989. That company is still running and it's still making money. I had been working previously for a large manufacturing company, and I was offered the possibility to leave that employer, along with 200 other people. I had been thinking about starting my own business for some years and I jumped at the chance when it was offered. I made some mistakes in the first year or two when I was running my own company, but it still survived, in spite of the poor economic conditions at that time. It was by making mistakes and learning from them that I felt entitled to write this book. Now I know what has to be done to make a company prosper - and what should be avoided. I sold that first company in 2008. The company was located in France and my wife wanted to move to Britain. I started a new company in Britain and it is running well. We have a nice life here in Britain and we have the opportunity to see our children - and they are also running their own successful businesses.

The business you want to start must preferably be something that you have been thinking about for months or years. Maybe a new idea, maybe something that doesn’t exist in the place where you
