An exclusive collection 51 business lessons learned over 10 years as an entrepreneur and business consultant that will help you save money, time and stress as you grow your business.

"As someone who has held leadership roles in both new and established companies, I found I Wish I Knew a helpful guide to the rough road of entrepreneurship. Anthony's book is concise but full of useful information. There is no magic formula in any business book, but I Wish I Knew gives invaluable insight (from someone who has been there multiple times) to anyone looking to start their own business."

"Overall, I liked the length of the chapters and felt Anthony got right to the point. I feel like this is one of those books where I read the whole way through, but can also keep it on my bookshelf as a reference whenever I need it. I also think there's a bunch of material in the book that is transferable to various small and large projects I'm currently working on. So I think an entrepreneur in any industry can take something away from the book.
