Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur or the operator of an existing business, a solid understanding of the unbending principles is what you need for establishing or improving a successful venture. Skipping the bedrock concepts isn’t a shortcut. If you are a startup, you’ll waste time and money thrashing around. For an existing business, your progress will be stunted.

​

 Invest time in yourself by learning the right approach so you can spin straw into small business gold.
