NEXT WEEK: One Minute Insights from A Door Opens.
The One Minute Entrepreneur aims to provide those who are poised to start a new company, or have already taken their first tentative steps into the business world, with the right strategies to survive beyond the precarous first year of trading and unlock their entrepreneurial potential.
To achieve this Ken Blanchard, the author of international bestseller The One Minute Manager, and Don Hutson have produced an easy to read guide to creating and sustaining a successful business, with clearly identified chapters that conclude with topical 'One Minute Insights'.
