Key Features

  • Comprehensive real-world examples illustrate author's points with clear explanations on sometimes seemingly complex matters.
  • Author is a working professional whom you might be working alongside at a news conference, sporting event, or concert, but whom has more than likely negotiated a much higher rate for the same services and how you can negotiate higher rates on your own.
  • Not a "how to start" your business, but rather, how to run your business right.
