Raves and Reviews

This book is an extremely refreshing guide to starting and operating your own business.

Everything you need to know for opening day but don’t know enough to ask. Particularly good on the basics of getting started.

The best of the genre. A remarkable step-by-step manual that is a delight to read.

– Library Journal

Very well done, and should be of great help to anyone starting their own small business.

– U.S. Small Business Administration, Washington . D.C.

Head and shoulders above all the other business help books, but there’s nothing ‘small time’ about it. It’s complete, and it belongs on your desk.

The most successful book of its kind ever printed.
