Readers love it too

“… I can’t tell you what an invaluable ‘find’ it has been. How I wish I had your book from the start! Now that I am setting up my own consultancy, with the help of your book I am going to be well on track towards making a success. Today I checked out your website and will be dashing out to get your ‘mastery’ book, too!”

“I heard your interview yesterday on the ABC with John Faine. I read half of [your book] last night and I think it’s great because of its simplicity and bottom-line logic. Easy to comprehend and written in plain everyday English, it’s a pity some other writers of small business guides don’t take more notice of your approach. So congratulations”.

“Your book has answered many questions by providing the nuts and bolts of consulting”.

“I am currently a management consultant with one of the Big 5, and have been with them for 5 years, travelling all over the country and the world. Also, I’m “in transition” to another career – more consulting, this time in image. It is a new direction for me, and I have been seeking out people and resources that can help/support me in my new endeavour. So your book is a perfectly timed “find” for me”.

“We are a somewhat small group of consultants who recently discovered your book. It has been great support to us, and an inspiration that there may be some light at the end of the tunnel after all. I work in the area of Occupational Health and Safety Consulting and Training”.

“Thanks for your book. As an academic trying to find some new challenges (read “escape”) I’ve found it extremely useful”.

“Your book… is definitely great help for me as a consultant of drilling fluids in the oil and gas industry… I am sure your book will become my “everyday friend” in my struggles to become a successful consultant”.

“Your book is great. So far it has served to highlight all those things I need to be sure of in my own mind and it is helping me with all the questions I need to ask. I also have your second book, can’t wait to really get into that one too!”
