So many writing books talk about all the great and money-making things the author has done in his career, and what a wonderful life they now lead thanks to the things they've done, which all magically worked out. Not this book. The author gives you the warts and all, the many wrong things he did so (hopefully) you don't have to. I've been in this business for nearly thirty years and can definitely relate to what he's gone through. I've made most of these same mistakes. It's actually good to know I'm not alone.
