Do not proceed one step further with your B and B plans until you have checked the first three words of the subtitle: why, where, when.

WhyWhat do you want out of the business? What are
your goals?

WhenIs demand year-round or seasonal?

Perhaps you have been in the business for a while? You might want to start with the section Review, Renew, followed by reading the other chapters, as a check against what you are offering.

All the very best in your business and enjoy the journey.
