Radical Personal Finance Podcast for today, Wednesday, July 30, 2014.

I'm your host, Joshua Sheets, and today we're going to be talking about business,

specifically starting one. One of my favorite topics in case

you can't tell from previous episodes and I'm just going to give a few tips and ideas

for practically how do you start a business?

Unfortunately, it's a subject they don't teach in school, so we're going to start teaching

knowledge about how to start a business would be and can be and there are lots of

books lots of excellent books that are written about this that I think are well worth reading and I'll try to maybe

at the end of the show if I can remember a few of the ones that I've really enjoyed over the years.
