consultant
and
businessman Linsey Mills has
launched a new book to equip
entrepreneurs with the skills to
build a sustainable business in a
shrinking economy.
In Your Business Venture:
The Prep, The Pitch, The Fund-
ing, Mills shares the three major
pillars that are needed to master,
ideate, create, develop, pitch,
launch, and grow a profitable and
sustainable business. All of this
is powered by one great idea and
the passion and confidence that it
can work.
Mills describes the prep as
preparing the mind to identify or
attract ideas that have the poten-
tial to be a successful business.

entrepreneur presents his idea to
potential partners, funders, and
investors; The funding is explor-

The author shows his reader not

Statistics indicate that the

pandemic
has
forced over 100,000 businesses
to permanently close their doors.
And while many may view this
time as the worst time to start a
business, Mills encourages en-
trepreneurs to go for it, pointing
out that successful businesses
such as Uber were started during
a recession.
When asked about his motiva-
tion for writing the book, Mills
explained: “I wanted to encour-
age people to identify problems
and provide viable solutions to
solve our business, societal, eco-
nomic, and philanthropic con-
cerns. By training current and fu-
ture innovators, I hope to increase
the potential of people to move
into action and find the solutions
that will make real differences in
our lives.”
Your Business Venture is is
filled with dvice and strategies
to succeed in the new economy.
It is a dynamic resource for new
entrepreneurs who want to min-
imize their risk of loss, and for
existing entrepreneurs who want
to improve their process and prof-
itability. The book is available for
purchase on Amazon in Kindle
and paperback formats.
