This is the trick when it comes to writing books like this. High levels of experience, translated into a simple language, which can reach into the deepest crevices of any business and give you an overview of what is wrong and how you can take steps to fix it. The book is also well laid out, with 12 concise chapters which start where every business person should, with the right mindset, and finish where they want to be; as a success.Very often, with books like this, you can have an author who is passing themselves off as a business guru when they have no such talent and even less for writing. Not so with Fred, who has a firm grasp of the English language and a good eye for detail. And in his use of bullet points, bold statements and great graphics he gets the important points across in a friendly and non-judgemental way, that is ideal for any reader." -Russell Burgess, Author of The Traitor in The Reich
