BizNotes:

The How of Business BizNotes provide summary highlights of books for small business owners. BizNotes include our highlights of what we think is most important or valuable in a book we have read, and they are no more than two or three printed pages in length. We also include relevant and applicable examples of how we might apply the knowledge to the realities of our small business environments. These are not reviews or complete summaries of a book, but rather our perspectives on the key points we believe are relevant to entrepreneurs and small business owners like ourselves.
