“Many business owners just worry about profits and ignore business wealth building, but a business to survive and prosper needs both. Without building wealth, any business can still go bankrupt. Unlike books which solely focus on building personal wealth, Profit or Wealth?: Simple Rules for Sustainable Business Growth by Ruth King gives business owners and entrepreneurs clear and simple rules to build business wealth which can translate to personal wealth.” - Midwest Book Review
