Fraud and hackers and reputation risk, oh my!

According to Entrepreneur magazine, 70% of small businesses will fail within the first ten years. With threats to small businesses multiplying daily, you can't afford to put your head in the sand and hope for the best. But with limited time and resources available, how and where do you begin?

Written by a successful serial entrepreneur, Twelve-Minute Risk Management teaches quick, actionable steps to protect your business from a range of risks, like cybersecurity, fraud, reputation risk (social media), and workplace violence.

This time-efficient guide will help you discover:


  • Why failing to have a plan to address risk in your business is the equivalent of planning for your business to fail.
  • Why your employees are probably stealing from you, and what you should do about it.
  • Why hackers have your business in their crosshairs and what you can do to avoid being among the estimated 60% of small businesses that shutdown after a cyberattack.
  • How risk assessment works and why you need to be doing it.
  • Step-by-step strategies to address risks in the short-term while planning for the long-term.

Twelve-Minute Risk Management was recognized with 12 different awards in 2022 including the International Review of Books Gold Star Award, the New York Book Festival Award, the Global Ebook Awards Gold Medal Winner, and the Los Angeles Book Festival Silver Award.

No matter your business or industry, this guide is a must-read. It is only a matter of when—not if—you will suffer a loss from a major mitigable risk. Get your head out of the sand and use this invaluable guide to create a plan to protect your business today!
