Are you a savvy information professional seeking to start a business that capitalizes on these skills? If so, this is the book for you. In Building and Running a Successful Research Business: A Guide for the Independent Information Professional, Mary Ellen Bates gives information professionals a glimpse into a world most of them would not otherwise see by providing a realistic and humorous account of what life is really like as an entrepreneur. Bates begins by describing a typical day, emphasizing the perks, such as the ability to create your own job and set your own hours, which may allow for other duties. She warns however, that skills in time management, marketing, being able to change your focus throughout the day, and possibly forgoing a steady paycheck are essential.
