A handy guide.

[Marijke · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is more an inspirational book than anything, but with a few handy checklists. I thought it was okay but not life-changing, which is why I've given it 2 stars. It's an easy read while you're cooking dinner and half listening to a child, so that's a bonus, given the title.

A good, useful book, I'd have got more from it had I read it earlier in my business development. At this point, only the last couple of chapters were relevant to my situation.
