This review is from: The Virtual Entrepreneur: Electronic Commerce in the 21st Century (Virtual Management, Vol 1) (Paperback)

"My viable niche opportunity is taking off in 2000AD.... It needs to be said that Dr. John Jones' book was a high-speed tool that has helped me to reach my dream. I was a dishwasher and cook and my dream has blossomed into one of the leading Mid-American resorts. I thank BPRI Press as I forge ahead with my virtual management dreams."
