Format:Paperback
This is a highly motivating book with down to earth practical advice on how to enhance any business. With such a positive attitude Liz shows that it is possible to pursue any dream and turn it into reality, overcoming even some of the most difficulties. I learned to embrace failure and turn every negative into a positive after reading this. Any business would succeed with an attidude like Liz's and it shows that you don't have to be a genius to do it!

This book is very easy reading and is excellent for giving a positive view point against the odds.
One half of the book gives the biography the other half shows you how you too can start up a multi million pound company
This is a real inspiration and very candid so If anyone can you can! It really gives a flavour how Great Guns Marketing works and the staff must be very inspired by their leader.

This book is a very good blue print of the perfect start-up business. I enjoyed this book because it is written in a simple manner, flows well to read and is an exciting and motivational real life story.
