Any time I want to make one of my friends even richer, I just give them a copy of this book and tell them to do EVERY SINGLE THING that Joshua tells them to do.

That's exactly what I did (I have 6 full pages of notes, and implemented the best ideas from the book immediately), and it was extremely profitable for me, in several ways. Not least of which my newfound appreciation for how making waves (and enemies) can make you a hell of a lot of money.

That's just one of the business-aikido moves that he shows you, along with sharing some of the best marketing advice of all time (straight from the Bible, of all places) and a step-by-step, NO STEPS SKIPPED guide to positioning yourself as an authority and getting PAID extremely well for the privilege.

So yeah, glad I read it, highly recommend it, and you should read it if, you know, you want more money and more clarity and structure in your business.

Exceptionally well written, though with the caveat I wasn't really the intended audience for this book. I did come away with some good lessons regardless. Entertaining. Be advised there are some bad takes left in the audiobook, but nothing egregious

Just finished. Still trying to digest what I read because although it’s a short book, there are a lot of actionable, practical tips for becoming the authority in your space.
