A Fantastic guide to all aspects of running your business
I love this book. Normally when I read a business book I'll glean a few useful nuggets of new information or ideas and tuck them away. The book will then be shelved! Not with this book! It's format means there is useful information on every page and it's very easy to pick up and refer to over and over again. I love Roberts checklist approach and the fact that it's based on his work with a multitude of different businesses at different life-cycle stages.

Things I wish I had known 4 years ago...
I have just come back from my holidays where I took this book as a little light reading. Having read a number of business books in my lifetime, I can honestly say this book does exactly what it says on the tin. Full of useful information in an easy to read format, every page contains information that I wish I had known when I first started up my business four years ago. I will definitely be recommending this to other small businesses and business start-ups that I come into contact with.
