If you are just starting out, you need to know HOW to run your business on top of all the technical stuff. Do yourself a favor and sign up for
Strategies for Success (
SFS) through
Jon Don as soon as you can. It is a very comprehensive 5 day class that covers how to price for profit, structure your P&L, Advertising, and interacting with customers effectively. They provide you a HUGE training/class work book and a comprehensive Operations Manual that has everything you would need (templates, phone scripts, etc) to get started off on the right foot. If you can't take the 5 day course right away, they do break up parts of it into smaller classes.
