Praise For The Authors
“Formula 1 for Business will give you the tools you need to get on the right track in your business and stay there. There aren’t many authors who could assemble all the right information about laying the course and foundation for business success like Simon Frayne and Daniel O’Connor.
They not only help you get you started on a path to progress they help you identify your finish line in reaching your business goals and outcomes. Powerfully strategic, yet elegantly simple executable steps covered in this book will show you exactly how to turn your business into a vehicle for immediate and future success.
Over the years, I have read hundreds of books on business and business building and Formula 1 for Business rates near the top. It’s a MUST read to turbocharge your business and accelerate your financial success. Get this book NOW—it’s a game-changer.”
Spike Humer President of Spike Humer International, LLC Co-author of “The 10 Day Turnaround”
“This is the most insightful, impacting & important book on building profit and value in your business you will ever read. It is a formula for success and is full of ideas, wisdom and strategies that can change your business forever. “
Darren J. Stephens International Business Consultant and Bestselling Author
“Simon and Daniel have obviously put a lot of thought into the writing of this book. There are thousands of books out there on business but very few have the ability to encapsulate simple, easy to follow concepts that small business owners can put into practice to achieve very real results.
As they point out, most people in business today will want to exit their business at some stage in the future. And when they do – they will hope to realise a healthy profit for the fruits of their labour, often over many years.
In reality, very few ever go on to realise that dream. Following the advice and principles in this book, will go a long way towards achieving that goal. I would recommend any aspiring entrepreneur to read this book”
Peter Thorpe Author - Small Business Street Smarts and former Editor – Australian Small Business Review
“Too often business leaders and entrepreneurs lack an objective framework so they can scale a successful business to the next level; this book provides helpful insights into just that and I particularly like the chapter on “Why it is better not to work in your business and how to manage your way out” as the paradox of good leadership is making yourself dispensable dramatically increases the value of the enterprise”
Andrew Banks Chairman Talent2 Ltd
