FREE Book Giveaway, a signed copy of the hardbook, The Pumpkin Plan by Mike Michalowicz!

I just finished this book and its a good read for anyone who is currently running a business, or looking to enter a new business. It reads very similar to The Blue Ocean Strategy and discusses the need for focusing on your best customers intermixed with the best value exchange, profitability, and time expenditure. It discusses the need for focus on certain clientele (or niches) while firing, or refusing business in other areas.

In other words, we want to maximize our time by working within the most profitable areas, while ignoring (or firing) those areas that aren't so profitable, either in terms of time, or money.

So, to be eligible to win this book, please post your favorite sentence from the my book, The Millionaire Fastlane .

If you are the first person to actually HIT my favorite sentence in the book, I will automatically award you the book.

If no one hits it, I will randomly draw a winner, weighted and influenced by likes.

Other eligibility requirements:
To enter: State your entry like this:
