This is one of the best audiobooks I've listened to. I took notes while listening which was almost impossible due to the flood of marketing tips. Good job Jim!

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very interesting book. It felt like a motivational book with suggestions on advertising to back it. Narrator did a great job of giving life to the material as well.

Listening to it over and over and bought the Kindle version!

This is one of those resources that one needs to continue to use. Not only has it given me ideas, but it has sparked many more. Great stuff here!

Most Relevant Marketing Book I've Ever Read

Seriously this book blew me away so much that I also purchased the printed version. Each chapter is only a few pages long and focuses on only one thing. Every single business owner should have this book...it's always within reach on my desk because it truly is THAT good!

Meerly ok

Jim has a few good points here, but in the methods he presents are a bit to cold and unpersonal. I'm sure this will appeal to some but even if I could make some money from this, I'm pretty sure I would go for something else.
