You'll learn how to increase your chance of success by:

  • Funding your venture without investors
  • Entering international markets
  • Taking full advantage of tools on the Web
  • Marketing your product or service for little or no cost
  • Deploying a third party to package and ship products
  • Taking control of an existing business or franchise
