👍 Worth It
This is the reference book you keep on the shelf and dip into whenever a new small-business question hits you — genuinely comprehensive, from writing your first business plan to hiring your tenth employee, from two authors who know both the numbers and the trenches. It's not built for a straight-through binge, but as a topic-by-topic resource it earns its shelf space, and Mike Chamberlain's clear, award-winning narration makes even the reference-y parts easy to sit with.

🎙 Narration: excellent Mike Chamberlain is an Earphones Award-winning nonfiction narrator; his delivery is clear and well-suited to reference-style listening, though navigating between sections is less convenient in audio than print.
