Which means you don’t have to take the “trial and error” approach to harness the power of ChatGPT. You don’t have to spend hours jumping from one tutorial to the next. The only road map you need to get the most out of ChatGPT is laid out in this book.

Stop what you’re doing right now and listen up - your commercial driving or trucking business is doomed, unless you change your mindset immediately. It’s all about knowing your business, knowing your client, and showing them why you’re better than everyone else - and you don’t need a ton of money or a university degree to accomplish just that. A little bit of business sense and some guidance is all you need to help you take the right steps.

If you’re a forward-focused thinker, you may be dreaming about leaving the workforce to enjoy an easier life in retirement or you might even be considering retiring early. But a dream without a plan is just a wish. Passive income is money you earn in a way that requires little to no daily effort to maintain. Some passive income ideas - like renting out property or building a blog - may take some work to get up and running, but they could eventually earn you money while you sleep.

Whenever the words business plan are mentioned most people freeze! What follows are the words I don't know how to write one.... This is why I have taken the lid off and written in plain English what needs to be considered and included in a business plan. This book has been written to help those who are writing plans for the first time or for those who write business plans infrequently. (Even seasoned business plan writers will learn one or two things, I promise!) I have included two different types of business plan templates.
