Synopsis
Have you ever started a business book and found it too long or short on stuff you could implement (like NOW!) to grow your business… Or finished one and wondered where on earth to start so you can increase profit. The Workbook solves those problems. It engages you and it’s VERY short on words. You don’t need to read my book because this works on its own and takes you through a step by step process to: • give you capacity to do and achieve more • get more from your team to increase profit • ease cash flow by getting paid quicker • convert more leads for fast sales growth • cut costs for immediate bottom line gains • increase order values and frequency from existing customers • attract more new customers. This will help you to be happier AND richer. The other books just aim to make you richer. I address the emotional side of running a business to help you to less stress too.
From the Inside Flap
Many books try to justify their existence by having more pages. Simon Benn has gone with the less is more approach. Less Stress, More Profits will help you in two very important ways. It helps remind us that we are not our business and our happiness should not depend on its success. Secondly it reminds us of the very simple things that we can do to increase sales, cut costs and improve cash flow. I found these really useful. We've started using some of the credit control tips. I'm using the sales tips already and changing some little things that make big differences.

It's a comfort to realize I'm not the only business owner who feels alone sometimes. The book was a great read and very enlightening.

An oddly compelling read that's inspirational.

Simon's book injects a necessary sharp breath of fresh air into books for small business owners. Reflecting on his own (often painful) learning process, his positive and pragmatic suggestions for success and happiness were closely aligned to my own experience as a small business owner , husband and father . More importantly, I learned new 'stuff' - some of which I have already acted on!

At the very beginning of my plunge into business more than twelve years ago [aged seventeen], Simon was the first person to sit down and give me practical, encouraging advice. It's great to see that he has taken the time to structure and present this advice through such a personal story.

Running a business isn't plain sailing and this book has really helped me rise above the setbacks and given me a whole new perspective. It's also helping me in my personal life. We all hear voices in our head and that used to get me down. Now I'm better at ignoring those negative thoughts.

I really enjoyed reading the book and found it very honest and insightful. I think a lot of other small business owners would also get a lot out of reading it.

Before, I used to always hate reading books, but reading this book I have gained much knowledge from understanding how to keep stress down and happiness up. This book has inspired me.

This book is really impressive and thought-provoking. Great read! I can relate to the stories and analogies used, which makes it easier to understand. I love to feel like I'm getting more value for money, and with so much rich and useful content, this book does just that.

Simon has really cracked it with this one. He takes some very sophisticated concepts and makes them accessible, giving bucket loads of practical advice and powerful ideas that I can apply right away to my business. It's all about reducing the stress, taking away the pain and getting better results and, most importantly...with far less effort than ever before. This book is the solution to a simpler , happier life and a more profitable business.
Tom Cassidy,

I do not read many books and often find myself putting them down after only a few chapters but in the case of your book, I read it from start to finish in a single sitting, only breaking for further thought on the subject. I found it very easy to read, honest, personal, insightful,entertaining, positive and above all very useful for a small business owner such as myself.

"Less Stress and More Profit" is packed with the kind of information that every business owner needs to know to balance their lives and generate as much income as possible.
Gene Marks,

This book really resonated with me as, like the author , I made the mistake of thinking I had to delay feeling good until my business was a big success. Until I read Simon's story, I had no idea that I was making this mistake. I'm going to flick through this book every couple of days to remind myself and help me feel good.

This book is loaded with practical ideas you can use immediately to increase your profits and the quality of your life.
Brian Tracy,

I have read lots of business books and never took their words in like I did with this one. Those other books just get you excited to make changes and then you lose that excitement once something bad happens. I now feel I can pick myself up when bad stuff happens, and if I need some help, I just open up the book and feel better . You've really hit the nail on the head with this book, it will change lives of the other business owners that read it. It's changed mine.
