Book was recommended to me by Fred and it's really powerful stuff! Makes me stop and think various times and at the moment really makes me focus on what steps to take next. Also very handy when you are writing a business plan and strategic plan (as recommended - no, almost ordered ;-) - by my dear friend and mentor). Grow your knowledge and mind = grow your business.

Next on the list: Permission Marketing (Seth Godin). Wondering if a pattern is being established? No more fiction, only exiting new business and marketing ideas to read about, think about and if I think it's practical and can be an advantage: to implement. (Have implemented a few ideas this year, ones I read aobut, talked about, dicsussed about. Most are working - our business is 'booming' this year, already at double turnover of last year with still two month to go! - so I suggest everybody keeps recommending good books to each other!)
