What does it take to be successful in business? Anthony Maybury
used to think that in order to be successful in business one must
know how to put complex theories into practice. He thought that
success required knowledge of advanced mathematics, inventory
management equations, and whiz-bang marketing techniques. But, he
made some interesting discoveries. He came to realize that the
greatest contributor to his business success was found in life
experiences, not textbooks. Mr. Maybury said his business strategy
was just "plain old common sense." But, through years observing
others in the business world, he realized that his common sense
business strategy was not so common after all. In
Common Sense
Business for Kids , Anthony Maybury shares these discoveries
with readers.
