business success 101

(5 Sterne)

I've owned one business for 15 years and have been trying to launch a second for about 10 years now. my goodness! Washington is a great inspiration for me! my favorite chapter is the last one....chapter 23. Yet the whole book is full of examples of hard work, organization and Divine Providence. I'm so encouraged. The narrators did an awesome job. Thank you so much!

Great Book
