Summary: don't waste your time...
Review: As an advisor to business and entreprenuerial familes, I usually applaud everything published which heightens awareness of help and hope for family businesses. So it is difficult for me to say this, since I want to believe the Allred brothers intended to make a contribution to the advancement of family business continuity. But this is one of the few books in the field which I've read that simply fails to deliver anything much of value.

Summary: don't waste your time...
Review: It is not a scholarly text. It is what the title implies, atool to help build a business, more specifically a family-business.It contains a broad evaluation of all essential business fundamentalswith a system for ranking the activities the business owner should emphasize. The County of Kern California has contracted with the author to conduct this process with local businesses. To date, they can account for 190 new jobs, because the owners are running their businesses better. The "Journal of Accountancy" published the family business checklist in the book as a guide to help CPAs work better with family businesses. The people who have benefitted from the book would rate it five stars. END
