Nation gives an insider’s story of \u003ci\u003eThe Stockman Grass Farmer\u003c\/i\u003e--the lessons he learned from the euphoric acquisition of a farm magazine, its near bankruptcy, and ultimate success--so that others might avoid his mistakes and follow a clearer path to profits. “This is the kind of book I wish I’d had when I started out,” he explains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters cover the following: How to turn your dream into reality; Figuring out where you are and where you’re going; Making a business plan; The three-legged stool of production, finance and marketing; Selecting a product and setting a price; The importance of due diligence; Working with your spouse and children; Bringing in employees and partners; What to do when disaster strikes; Enjoying the fruits of your labor.","brand":"Green Park Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42958483325183,"sku":"9780986014741","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780986014741_s600x595.jpg?v=1782315459","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780986014741","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
