Totally! I don't buy entirely buy text book stuff either - but there's something to be learned from most sources. For me, there are 3 major ingredients to effective business:
1. A robust business model;
2. Operational slickness;
3. Personal effectiveness.
The trick is to find the right recipe - doubtless trial and error plays a part but, like you, I'm a great believer in the individual entrepreneur as 'effectuator' - someone who goes out and makes it happen. Advice and support can save a lot of time and effort and keep a business out of the 98% (is it really that high????)
Best wishes,
M.
