MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN!

How to Succeed in Your Own Business

By: Barrie Jackson

ABOUT THIS BOOK

Barrie Jackson knew from personal experience what it takes to run a business and make it succeed. In this book he shows you how to do it.

If you're looking for a dry, academic treatise on buying a business - you'll be disappointed. On the other hand, if you're looking for practical, hands-on information, that you can put to immediate use, you'll be delighted.

Barrie illustrates many of his points with anecdotes from his own business adventures. This makes for interesting reading with a "practical punch".

So, if you've ever dreamed of buying a business - take a read at what Barrie has to say first. You'll learn a lot from his personal experience and mistakes.

In this book, Barrie shares his knowledge with you, so that you too can MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN and succeed at your own business.
