SIMPLIFIED WOODWORKING I:
A Business Guide for Woodworkers
Operating
a one-person woodworking business successfully is not easy. If
you love woodworking the way I do, you have probably considered making
your living with those skills. It can be done but 
many
who try wind up losing money and going out of business.
Before jumping
in, it is essential to have a clear understanding of the woodworking
business. If you are already in the business then you know
how
difficult it is to keep the profits coming in faster than the bills.
During
my twenty plus years of making a living with woodworking, I developed a
number of simpler and more productive methods for making more money
while maintaining quality for my customers. With just limited skills
and tools, you can do the same. My business guide for
woodworkers will
help you to operate your own profitable woodworking business.
My
book, SIMPLIFIED WOODWORKING I: A
Business Guide for Woodworkers, is a clear, concise and
easy-to-read book that describes:
|
How to
start making money even with limited skills and a limited collection of
tools
|
|
|
Surefire
methods for getting customers and keep them coming back
|
|
|
How to
get your customers to finance job materials so you don't have to spend
your own money
|
|
|
How to
avoid the pitfalls that contribute to failure
|
|
|
If
you are already a woodworking professional or just thinking about
starting, SIMPLIFIED WOODWORKING I can help you
enjoy maximum income from the work you love and the freedom of working
for yourself. I can help you:

"it guides the reader through the potential minefields of contract
labor, financial record-keeping, IRS obligations, advertising, finding
shop space, general organization, and a host of other things never
mentioned in many books that wax eloquent on the glory and romanticism
of woodworking."
