Books
The belief that owning and operating your own business and understanding how to manage your money puts you in control of your financial future caused Leah Ward-Lee and Tony Lee to write and publish $1,000 Start-Ups, 60 Business for Micro-Entrepreneurs… and How to Start Them and The Bartender’s Guide to Financial Freedom.Â
The books are available to anyone and can be useful and practical resources for those considering starting a business.
