SORTED! Bewertungen

I am half way through this book and I am finding it so useful. The advice that is given, along with the free downloads, actions and checklists are invaluable as a review of my business. I am sure that any new business owner would find it just as valuable.
There are lots of free systems that Sorted can help you with, alternatives to paid versions to start you off when cash is tight. I am looking forward to reading the rest!
