Reviews for Things Go Wrong: Legal Minefields that Business Owners Hate But Have to Deal With

"Norma has made the fundamentals of small business legal issues easy to understand and easy to read. Her book is concise yet complete. I strongly recommend this book as a ""must read"" for all start-ups and small businesses with an ambition to grow. It is ideal to keep as a great reference source. - Steve McCrillis, FA, MBC, The Biz-Easy Network Things Go Wrong is the book I needed when I started my businesses and the one I will reference from now on. It breaks everything down so anyone can understand it while guiding you through every step and question you will have in starting a business. - Dr. Ila Foster, Graceful Hands Chiropractic &Wellness Center Excellent job of clearly laying out how to start a business and then reminding us all that it is not all about dollars and cents afterward. Growth and the bottom line can be great, but ignoring HR and general risk management for your business can sink it as quickly as the Titanic. Very well done! - Tom Broughton, TRJ Consulting, LLC The most well-written, comprehensive books on business compliance that I have ever read. Norma makes this complex topic easy and fun. - Skip William, Biz Easy Network"
