"Time tested insights on how to run a successful retail business."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I kept struggling to believe this book is almost 30 years old. Packed full of brilliant insights for anyone starting out in retail. Make customers the centre. Be mindful of costs. Always add value. Think small. Change always. Pass responsibility down. Great read…

"The power of one"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It is surreal to learn about a person who has an idea and just gives it a 110%. Really great read and a good heads up in the scary world of business. It shows that no matter what background you have you can really succeed in anything you work hard at.
