Great content (for real)

First book “for dummies “ that I’ve read. Had a different idea on what actually is. Great content, very didactic. Recommend it

Easy to understand

Not messed up with too much technical information and mostly focused on the general picture. Easy to remember the content and to realize in business.

Informative and in depth

I loved this book and the speaker. this week undoubtedly help me on my business buying journey. thank you

The narrator is awful

Can’t finish audiobook because narrator reads at a snails pace. It’s terrible, takes several minutes to read a half page. I never heard anything this bad before. It could easily be narrated in 1/4 of the time that this guy does it in. It’s borderline egregious. Stay a way unless you have nothing but time

Audio Reader

The guy reading this book is HORRID!!! Omg he puts me to sleep and does not keep my attention. The worst audio reader ever!
