4.0 out of 5 stars to the point, easy-reading guide !, April 12, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Business Basics: A Microbusiness Startup Guide (PSI Successful Business Library) (Paperback)
Ideal for those who want a concise, easy-reading guide with templates and exercises to all the elements of starting a business.

I personnally liked it and the presentation and illustrations throws a fresh light into the fact that starting a business should be exciting and a journey by itself and not a destination !

I recommend it.
