How Much Money Can I Make?

Finally, A Book That Unlocks the Realities of Owning a Small Business in Canada! How Much Money Can I Make? is so much more than the title implies. Not only will you learn how much money you are likely to earn (or lose), you will also discover what it's really like being a small business owner, and how to crush your competition at the same time!
Readers will find this book to be unique as it is a hybrid between a "how to" book and a "reference manual". It includes both proven management techniques and 100 income statements covering the majority of Canadian small businesses.
If you already own a small business or are considering self-employment in Canada, then this book is for you! From security systems to swimming pools, Tim Young has owned and operated more than a dozen vastly different business ventures over the last 35 years. Eight of these have been successful.
