The process of writing a book is infinitely more important than the book that is completed as a result of the writing, let alone the success or failure that book may have after it is written . . . the book is merely a symbol of the writing. In writing the book, I am living. I am growing. I am tapping myself. I am changing. The process is the product. - Theodore Isaac Rubin

‘Murray Hunter has penned a business strategy book for our times. By placing the idea of ‘opportunity’ at the centre of entrepreneurship and society, he has highlighted the importance of being alert to the possible and of being able to exploit that opportunity in turn.
