At the end of each chapter, Cincotta closes with a checklist of tasks and action items to complete so that the reader gets the full benefit of the information provided - a clear opportunity to turn the information learned in the book into action to create a successful business for themselves. At the end of the book, there is also a list of resources - government and otherwise - for the reader to use.
