Owning their own business is many peoples dream. However, statistics show that the greatest majority of these new enterprises will fail - some with huge financial, heath and family costs. The Quantum Leap has been written for those contemplating this endeavor. It covers subjects usually overlooked in a business book and the knowledge has been gleaned over many years of personal experiences and a lifetime spent establishing and managing a variety of businesses as a consultant. Written in a conversational manner with a little humor being used to lighten the tone, the author, Colin Mackie, has witnessed the effects of businesses failing and with some of the victims of 'business ignorance' paying the ultimate price. It covers topics such as attitude, aptitude, compassion, honesty, ethic and morality. Hopefully, reading this book before taking the leap into business ownership may save a lifetime of regret and many years of angst and humiliation. 'This book should become essential reading for anyone contemplation business ownership.' CR Australia.
