100 business ideas

This book is the result of the support and encouragement of several people, and while the execution, style, and shortcomings are my own, their expertise and help must be acknowledged. Thanks go to Louise Kourdi, whose diligent research has been especially valuable, and Martin Liu and his talented colleagues at Marshall Cavendish, whose patience, energy, and expertise are much appreciated. Also, I have been very fortunate to work with some of the most stimulating, professional, and exceptional businesses, several of which are featured in this book. I owe a huge debt to all my clients and past employers who have, without doubt, provided the most interesting and exciting environments in which to work, learn, and develop. Finally, my gratitude goes to my wife Julie and son Tom, for their constant support, encouragement, and inspiration.
