Emmas book is both logical and practical. By following this book i am sure many spare room start up would have an easier start - i wish i had a chance to read this when we started The Baby Gurus, me from my back bedroom and Emma in her dining room - i have already recommended this book to a new start company. I am sure it will help them gain focus on the task ahead. Well done - its a very inspiring read!
