I purchased this book because I am interested in starting my own business. It has proven to be a great resource guide. The topics are easy to read and comprehend. In some cases, the discussions are very short and precise. I would recommend for others. However, it is a much better resource guide than a day to day planning guide.
Watch your dreams soar and your passion materialize to profit.
