About this listen
An invaluable and practical guide to nurturing and protecting your online business while honoring yourself and your wellbeing, from the force behind Sam Vander Wielen LLC and host of the On Your Terms podcast.
When I Start My Business, I'll Be Happy does so much more than offer new entrepreneurs a way to establish the legal foundations of their businesses. Online entrepreneurship expert Sam Vander Wielen has developed a necessary resource for those who are new to doing business online, or who are ready to take their existing business to the next level. Vander Wielen presents practical, easy-to-implement business ideas and advice that covers all the ages and stages of entrepreneurship, such as:
·how to anticipate (or avoid) the common early entrepreneurship pitfalls
·how to juggle your personal life with your business
·how to find and build on your unique gifts
·how to keep your business growing without losing yourself in the process
Entrepreneurship can be deeply rewarding, but not at the cost of your own self-care and well-being. When I Start My Business, I'll Be Happy teaches listeners that even when life doesn’t go smoothly as a business owner, you can still build and grow your own business—those bumps in the road will in fact make your business even stronger.

Sometimes when authors read their own books, you wish they hadn’t, absolutely not the case here. Sam’s reading was great!
If you’re new to business, this will be fantastic information. If you’re not new to business, it will be some new information and a great review of other information, plus a good enough read to enjoy the book even if you know a lot of it already.
Thank you for a book I will reread multiple times and can recommend to my business buddies!
