This book has concepts so vital and useful to our business that we consider it to be the most valuable book in our office. I found solutions to most of our day to day problems right here. When I try using this advise - bingo - it works! How refreshing to have advise that actually does solve the problems. I highly recommend that all business owners and managers get this book and try it themselves.

This book gave me basics I never got in my business school MBA program. It's a practical book--the author knows what problems business people can have, and he addresses them with solutions based on the works on L. Ron Hubbard.

If you have (or need more) staff, if you have (or need more) customers, if you're looking to improve your business, then this your manual of things to implement.

I thought this book was wonderfully helpful. It is written so that anyone can understand and use it and the data presented, though basic, is not generally known.

The bookshelves in my house are loaded with books on making it in business, financial success and get rich quick or not-so-quick schemes. After reading this 200 page manual I've decided to clean off my shelves and give the local library's used book sale a donation. I took just one chapter of this book and used it in a community arts group I'm involved in. The chapter is called "Putting Order Into Your Business". The chapter covered what disorder actually is and exactly how to handle it. I found it incredibly useful in the volunteer group I'm in. You could use this in a family, in a music group, you could use it anywhere because it is not just basic to business it is basic to any activity you are involved in. The book is layed out in such away to be easily read, the type is nice and large, the concepts are clear and there are plenty of examples by others who have applied the concepts in each chapter to their business. It isn't theory. It is based on the real world and doing. Whether or not you have a small business you'll find something you can use to make your life easier to control in this book.

I work for a real estate firm that is small in number of staff but not in volume of business. The company manages real estate in different parts of the country through subsidiaries and independent contractors. The tools in this book really helped me predict behavior - even over the phone of the staff and outside vendors I have to deal with daily. I am amazed daily how the information in this not very large book really makes a difference. Not only am I more efficient - I'm less crazed. And that's way more important - less stress at work definitiely means a better quality down time!! I think that Stan Dubin has done a real service to the small business. But do not just take my anonymous word for it - the book is inexpensive enough - check it out your self. I will be shocked if it does not help you.

If you are looking for workable solutions to everyday business problems, this book is it. What is the difference with this text? Well, for starters, it puts forth a simple yet powerful methodolgy to handling the problems that each of face in day to day business. In my experience in managing businesses, what you really are managing are people. Go look at any book on being a success in business, and most of the titles are about handling "your team" or how to handle your organization. These books do not for the most part, give you the "how" in order to do this. The Small Business Success Manual does. I highly recommend this book to anyone who truly wants to gain an edge in the business world.

For any business owner who is looking for ways to handle problems effectively and with solutions that work, this book is a must. It offers easy to do steps that give one immediate results. I read it from cover to cover the first day that I got the book.

In a time where the complexity of "political correctness" in business has been wall-papered into the thinking patterns of "all", this simple method of application brings a lot of good common sense.

It isn't that you have to remember the million ways that on must never offend another at work. It's recognizing that these fundamentals undercut ALL the goofiness that makes "being offended" so "valuable".

The real value is in production and THIS manual shows HOW to get it!

Very useful and easily read. Applies to what YOU are doing with your business.
