Good thoughts and inspiring. Though the tools used to explain the techniques are completely outdated.

I haven't finished the book at this point but so far I am really starting to get into reading through the pages as they are supplying me with a lot of detail. The great thing about it is, the information is actually informing me of how I can better mistakes I have made in the past throughout the time I have owned my freelance business. Since I am improving, this is an awesome reference to look back on.
