"In this book John Forbat, serial entrepreneur, covers characteristics you will need to succeed, issues that start-ups face, the TASK principle, company politics, the importance of R&D, and how necessity can be a real mother of invention. Also included are case studies which provide fascinating insights into how the author: operated a company on two continents (without capital!); turned a company facing insolvency into a takeover target; and managed to turn a good business plan and a relatively small amount of credit into a company with profits of $200,000 p.a. The down to earth ideas and experiences related in this book make it essential reading for all budding entrepreneurs and those already in business."
