Through hundreds of real life examples and case histories from every imaginable type of entrepreneur we can understand the talent, temperament and technique involved. Entrepreneurs are irrepressible and jump over fences most people would refuse.'Tony Robinson, Chief Executive, Small Firms Enterprise Development Initiative.
