From Booklist

Once again, Fox gets his business expressed just right. After equally succinct books on becoming a great boss and a CEO--among other career aspirations--he addresses the more than 25 million small business owners in the U.S with a few homilies, some practicums, and many direct commandments, such as "selling is job number one" or "pick up paper clips . . . but overspend on customers." And this one as well, "work on the business, not just in the business." Smart remarks notwithstanding, this prolific, no-nonsense writer gets readers' attention with short snappy chapters and down-to-earth advice, covering funding (sources for loans) and sitting on nonprofit boards ("give, get, or get off") as well as marketing and running a business. Even seasoned pros can benefit from his words. Barbara Jacobs
