Quicksand Approach, ‘The harder and longer you work, the quicker you sink’. How to Escape from Quicksand, explains exactly how to build a successful trade based business and still enjoy some life after the tools are put down at the end of the day. Readers will learn how to set up and use powerful job tracking and leveraging tools for both start up and well established businesses.
