Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Big Thinking for Small Business
Steven J Coulson · 2020
🎙 Narrated by David Thorpe
75/100
👍 Worth It
Steven Coulson actually built and sold a business for real money, and it shows — this is blunt, mistake-driven advice rather than textbook theory, moving from mindset through marketing, sales, hiring, and money in a tight package. Readers consistently call it no-nonsense and clear rather than padded. David Thorpe's narration matches that direct tone well, making the roughly four-hour listen an efficient one.
