SECONDHAND BOOKS | BUSINESS

A great number of books have been written about starting and running a business and some of them are excellent. A lot of them, however, have been written by academics (many of whom have never actually run a business themselves). Often, these books tend to concentrate heavily on the bookkeeping and record keeping side. Of course, these are very important aspects of running a successful business but they are only one small part of the equation. In fact, many skills are needed to successfully manage a business and some of these are best learned by experience. However, while experience is a great teacher, it can also be a very expensive way to learn. Small Business Street Smart$ aims to minimise this expense by tackling many of the things you need to know that are not generally covered by the textbooks. Whether you are contemplating starting a business of your own or you are already running one, read this book.
