Why Streetwise?
When you start a small business, you soon discover that things just don't happen in the real world the way they tell you in business textbooks: invoices don't get paid by their due dates, ads don't consistently bring in customers, sales don't continually rise, and profits aren't always there. In this CD-ROM, small business maverick Bob Adams shows you how things really get done and acts as your mentor by providing instant access to streetwise advice on every small business topic.
