Filled with all the practical advice that others neglect, Kate takes you step by step. No detail is overlooked, you'll get "real world" advice. You'll find yourself referring back to this manual again and again. This will be the smartest money you'll spend for your business. Not only will it help you EARN money, but it will also SAVE you money. All this and an easy read, too. Not dry and mechanical like some. Opened without it? It's not too late. Get it now.
