Green and Black's is undoubtedly one of the best-known brands in retail, and is one of the very few to be fêted both for its quality and for its ethical credentials. No other brand has done more to convince the world that Fairtrade and organic methods of production are not only desirable alternatives to the norm, they're also extremely practical and viable. Green and Black's was launched in 1991 by an ex-hippy organic wholefood pioneer, Craig Sams, and his journalist wife, Jo Fairley, with virtually no cash. From those tentative beginnings, it has grown into an internationally renowned $100 million brand.

"Some people would say starting their own business from scratch and building it up to a comfortable income is the hardest part. However, many realize that doubling their business is the bigger task and often wonder how they can accomplish this while still enjoying their life. After all, there are only 24 hours in a day! When business owners already feel too busy to find and serve more clients, it can seem impossible to double their business without duplicating themselves. Even after coming up with numerous options, and getting opinions from others, sometimes nothing seems to feel good because every solution requires more of their time and energy that is currently at a premium. In Double your business, entrpreneurs will find the path to doubling their business without doubling their hours"--Page [4] of cover.
