	Valuable Resources for Business Owners. A new book by another expert is published about every 15 minutes. None of us can (or would want to) read them all. Listed below are some we have read, re-read, and read again. They are worthy of the few minutes it will take to check them out. In some cases we know the authors personally, in others we have interviewed them for articles that were published in business newsletters and which are posted on this web site. We highly recommend each and every one of them. In addition there are key resource providers and organizations we highly recommend. They are located here as well.
