Pin Pricks

For the past four decades, Patrick Anthony has been working with small business clients all over North America-witnessing certain minor issues that seem to crop up again and again.

He has come to describe these specific issues as a series of "pin pricks." By themselves, they're not big enough to cause a business to fail. But over time, an accumulation of them can cause serious harm, both to profitability and ease of operation.

And it's small business owners and entrepreneurs who are most likely to fall victim to these pin pricks-facing many of the same problems as larger corporations, but without the same resources and diversified expertise at their disposal.

In "Pin Pricks," Anthony shares actual examples of the issues that have plagued his clients over the years, from virtually every industry. While describing the specific tendencies and beliefs that lead many small business owners into trouble, he goes on to share practical solutions for veterans and new entrepreneurs alike.

Based entirely on real-life experiences, this guide provides a realistic-not theoretical-view of what success in business truly entails, and how you can begin to identify the "pin pricks" in your own practices.
