Doing Business Just the Right Way in the Modern World
The modern world is a complex mix of ideas and methods of doing business, but few persons know the types of businesses and advertising avenues to embrace to achieve success in life and business. This subject is so important, sensitive in this day, timely and complex such that, for the sake of being able to put the matter in the most concise form, I have brought together only the fundamental points in the writing of this highly abridged article whose title is still the title of a book which I am still writing.
