I read your book Thursday night as I could not put it down, such a simple take on such a complex topic and laid out steps that we all can take to move our own businesses forward. I wish I had this 'map' when I started my own businesses! Favorite Section - What You Don't Know WILL Hurt You! "Without sales & marketing - You Have No Business."...Yes!

The key strategies to achieve success in small businesses are often different from those of larger businesses. The primary difference is the amount of time you have to spend working IN the business versus ON the business. I found this challenge and others outlined well in, Running Your Small Business Like a Pro, by Andrew Frazier. He recommends some key techniques, learned by both of us the hard way, that every small business owner can and must deploy to achieve long-term sustainability and growth:
