"Where other consultants complicate and jargon-ize, Alan provides simple, counterintuitive common sense. He poses basic questions (like 'What is a proposal?') that we think we know the answer to only to find out that we don't. There is no denying the unmistakable rationale that pervades the principles laid out in this book. Yet so many of us do not follow these principles because of bad habits we have picked up over time. Alan's advice helped us build growth and value in our business and sustain it over many years. The advice contained in this book will help many others do the same."—Dr. Joe Zammit-Lucia, artist, author, entrepreneur, and founder and President ofWeb of Life Foundation (www.wolfoundation.org)
