"...not only an original gem, but a rare and, I would say, "must read" for every fledgling entrepreneur plus those who are further into their business career yet not privy to the wisdom of experience every one of these pages exudes..."

"I shall use your book as the backbone to all my future business ventures. It is refreshing to read a book written with genuine integrity by an author who clearly has first hand experience of the 9-5 life from which you have escaped...Every aspect of your book makes complete sense...your book is superb..."

"An excellent, very helpful, practical and encouraging guide to starting up a new business, or improving an existing one."

"I just finished my first read-through of your "Business survival and prosperity guaranteed" book and I assure you I will re-read it a lot of times with all my attention! Thank you very much for writing it: aside from being a very pleasant read, it is indeed chock-full of solid advice that every self-respecting entrepreneur should follow (the fact that so many don't is saddening but not surprising...)".

"Wow what a gem of a book! I have nicknamed it... The Rocket Science translator!
If you have a business idea but you are left mortified by thought of all the paperwork, legislation, staff, costs, marketing, technology, terminology, time management, money, communication, organisational skills and so on and just don’t know where to start or what to do first, then I urge you to read this book.

If you already have a business I still urge you to read this book, trust me you will learn so much! Business Survival & Prosperity Guaranteed now lives on my desk as a reference guide.

This book takes you through each element of running a business step by step, breaking it down into manageable chunks and sprinkling it with common sense. It gives you encouragement, confirmation and a very calming friendly influence comes through Paul style of writing and smiles too!

It’s the essence of making living easier and building sturdy foundations, after that who knows where your business may lead other than up.
Learn how to improve the way you already go about daily tasks in your business and general organisation of every day life, mindset giving you the boost and excitement reminding you why you do what you do and reap the rewards and freedom of being self employed.

I have known Paul for 6 years, he runs 4 successful companies from his methodical way of looking at things and pure passion for what he does. I would hire him as my mentor! Don’t miss this opportunity to follow the same methods and absorb this goldmine of information."

Review by: Earlswood Press on March 24, 2011 :
Not a 'get rich quick' book, but a genuinely helpful 'get sustainably prosperous and enjoy its benefits' book, written from (often painful) first hand experience. Nor is it a hyped up super-duper millionaire success story, but a real down-to-earth guide for the average Joe who wants to be more than average

Written by an Englishman and thus with UK tax and legal references, it deals with the general principles and the nuts and bolts of running a successful business that are universal, from putting the customer first to looking after the money. If you're starting in business, or are thinking about doing so, it is probably the best $2.99 investment you'll ever make
