Operator's Handbook
A 50-book series of plain-language operations playbooks for SME owners. Each book ships with a free 9-minibook worksheet pack.
Most operations advice is written by people who have never run a business. This series is not. It is written by an operator who runs three companies, has cut costs in real procurement cycles, has chased late receivables in person, and has watched profitable businesses run out of cash on a Friday afternoon.
Twenty books are shipped on Google Play Books. Thirty more are scheduled through December 2027. Each book is paired with a printable worksheet pack you can complete in a working session.
