"Such a brilliant book! Brian has brought his two passions in life together, business and football, and has created a powerful blueprint to help any business owner at any stage. If you are starting out it is a great way to plan your business. If you are established and several years in, it is a great reminder about all the aspects of your business that need a health check. I run two businesses and do not care much for football, but that does not matter. Although I do now understand what a central midfielder does thanks to Brian's analogy about branding, which is useful as that is the position my son plays! I also have ADHD but found the introduction alone mind-blowingly useful and loved being able to skip to the chapters that would solve the biggest problems I am currently facing. The Why You Should Do This and How To Do This structure gives you the practical advice you need without being overwhelming. Ten stars!"

"As a solo business owner juggling client shoots, content, marketing and mentoring, I have always known there were areas of my business I was stronger in than others, and areas I was quietly avoiding. The Field of Business gave me a framework to finally see the whole picture at once, and more importantly, to stop feeling overwhelmed by it. The football pitch analogy works brilliantly, not because I am a massive football fan, but because it makes the structure of your business instantly visual and logical. What I found most valuable was the honesty the book demands. The checklists are not there to make you feel good, they are there to show you where the gaps are. For anyone running a creative or service based business who knows they are great at what they do but suspects their systems, finances or client management are not keeping pace, this is the playbook you have been missing. It is one to come back to every quarter."

"As an accountant who works closely with businesses across a wide range of sectors, I have found this book to be an exceptionally practical guide to better business management. What sets it apart is its ability to bring together all the key disciplines of running a successful business in a clear, accessible and actionable format. The inclusion of practical checklists throughout the book is particularly valuable. Rather than focusing solely on theory, it provides business owners and managers with a structured framework of actions and considerations that can be implemented immediately to improve performance and strengthen their organisations. From a financial perspective, the guidance is both sound and relevant, helping readers understand not only the numbers but also how financial decisions influence every aspect of business performance and long term success. This is a resource that both new and experienced business leaders will find useful. It serves as an excellent reference guide, helping organisations identify gaps, strengthen controls, improve decision making and maintain focus on the critical areas that drive sustainable growth. I would highly recommend this book to anyone serious about building, managing and growing a successful business.
