I am a little frustrated. By the definition of an entrepreneur in, "Awakening The Entrepreneur Within" going this route means creating something new, using your imagination, etc

I don't care about any of that at this time. I don't want to spend any time on that path. All I want are the steps to take the very unoriginal idea I have for a small business and get it started. Simple mechanics. Maybe a little mindset training in running your own business.

Are there any books you can recommend that will help me take my unoriginal idea and turn it into a business? I need to know about the mindset, fees, taxes, insurances, licenses - every I dotted and T crossed so I am legit, legal and above-board working for myself.

Appreciate the help!
