A new book written by Bob Fragasso, president of Fragasso Financial Advisors, will strike a chord with any business person, especially those with the desire to start his/her own business.

Titled "Starting Your Own Practice: The Independence Guide for Professional Service Providers," this book has been published by John Wiley & Sons which is headquartered in Hoboken, N.J., and has offices around the globe.

Does your current work situation bother you? Do things beyond the ordinary, day-to-day issues of working in a business environment-such as lack of input into important decisions and compensation-continue to frustrate you? Then this book is for you!

The book provides the would-be entrepreneur with guidance along every step of the independent business process. Topics covered range from personal concerns such as is it your time to move on and family considerations to strategic business objectives such as financing and managing your business.

The book provides proven and timeless advice for the following service providers:

• Investment Advisors/Brokers

• Attorneys/CPAs

• Architects/Engineers

• Marketing/Advertising Professionals

• Real Estate/Insurance Agents

• Computer Programmers

• Healthcare Professionals

• Anyone Who Provides Skilled Personal Service

Whether you want to explore the possibility or are committed to striking out on your own, Starting Your Own Practice can help you navigate the course toward self-employment.

The book is now available online at www.amazon.com & www.barnesandnoble.com and will be in bookstores nationwide in early October.
