Publisher's summary
You’ve seen the hype, the raging videos from high octane YouTubers, the dream, the lifestyle. The start-up experience - is it for everyone? I don’t know.
Does quitting your job and gambling that you’ll be able to start a new business and build the clientele to the point of profitability before you run out of savings sound like a smart idea? What about the mortgage or the kids' education fund? What about feeding the kids?
A start-up is a risky thing, but there is a better way. Three-time best-selling author David C. Barnett uses his decades of business ownership, management, and consulting experience to show you the lower-risk path to owning the business of your dreams.
It’s not new. It may be less exciting. But your kids will get fed every day with this plan.

I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.
