Modern society is pretty good at pushing us to overwork, stress out, and take on more than we can possibly do well. But most people are no more successful or productive - they're just stressed out, overworked, and their personal lives are in turmoil. It doesn't have to be that way. You still need lots of hard work. But there really is a way to balance your life and become more successful.

If you're one of the millions of people whose skills are the "product," you know that you cannot be successful unless you bring in clients. The problem is, you're trained to do your job-not sell it. No matter how great you may be at your actual role, you likely feel a bit lost, hesitant, or "behind" when it comes to courting clients, an unfamiliar territory where you're never quite sure of the line between under- and over-selling. This book comes to the rescue with real, practical advice for selling what you do.

don't change the recipe
I have purchased the audio book and download copy. One mistake I made was changing up his advice. I feel this is common, people think they can do it better, or omit things that don't seem important.You won't omit sugar out of cookies to make them healthier, This is a great book for the break-fix shop that wants to go MSP or the MSP that wants to make a change. Even if you took one lesson from the book and applied it to your business, your ROI will be ten-fold.Most break-fix one man shows have the same thing in common, they focus on the IT side vs focus on their business. You can't grow a business while you work in it.

Pretty much the same book as the 2nd edition.
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
If you didn't read the 2nd edition, this would be a great book. The ideas are great, very useful to anyone running a computer business. But if you'd already listened to the 2nd edition, than there's nothing of value for you in the 3rd edition.
Would you ever listen to anything by Karl W. Palachuk again?
Yes, Karl is a great author with great ideas. I just wouldn't buy an updated edition of the same book. Even the woman who read the 2nd edition was more entertaining than the narrator of the 3rd edition. I'd as for my money back, but this item is no longer available on audio.

Highly Recommended Read for MSP
Loved listening to this audible book. So many relevant and on point topics covered. extremely easy to listen to and follow. I believe it's a must have got setting up an MSP business. In fact after listening to this book, I quickly worked out the business trainer we pay pretty much uses majority of the same content. classic! As they say...an expert is simply someone who knows more than you. So read this book :)
