Meh. Really old info and delivery.

Some books are classic and timeless. Think E-Myth. This book isn't like that. It was probably some good advice 15 years ago, but not pertinent to the modern construction business owner.

Excellent Information for a Contractor!

I purchased this book last week 9-2-19 and I have already put this information into action. Step by step, this book can change how you run your business. If you are unsure of how to approach a situation, listen to this. The phrase to get through any situations is "is that fair". Listen up!!
