From the author...
First, let me thank you for purchasing my book. Whenever I read a business book or attend a seminar, I approach it with the idea that if I can come away with just one brand-new and useable idea or nugget of wisdom, then it was worth the effort. I truly hope that you'll find much more than one good idea and that you'll use what you learn to help you make solid investment choices. I also hope you have as much fun reading this material as I did writing it.
