This book is like having a great business mentor focused on just one student: me! L.H., Austin

The author’s own case example of losing a $7M contract early in his own consulting practice told me this guy is real and understands how tough consulting can be. N.M. Louisville

I’ve been a consultant for years. I’ve never fired a client, but sometimes wish I had. The chapters on keeping better clients and tossing undesirable ones were eye-openers. The author provides excellent diagnostic tools on evaluating clients, oneself, and one’s consultancy that I put into immediate use. L. J., Phoenix

If I’d had this book, I would have had far more success right from the start. R.H., Indianapolis
