I credit Austin with saving me from making a huge 5 figure mistake when I almost hired my second "marketing" consultant. Each mini chapter in his book covers only one topic and the chapters tell you how many minutes it will take you to read it. It was like reading my life story when it comes to dealing with advertising and marketig people. I know now why I was frustrated. If you are getting ready to hire anyone to help you with advertising; marketing; promotion etc. please read this first. I think it will save you money and change your focus to what matters.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. good book light reading and entertainingBy Amir al shamyI like the honesty of this book .

Chicken Soup for the Admans SoulBy M. HoustonThis book is also great for copywriters who dont read. If you are a working creative; it is fairly easy to impress a client with an idea; but it takes being creative about the act of being creative; to come up with ideas that will impress yourself. This author; and his book; give quick and simple inspiration to always be learning; always be seeking; always be developing the exercise of consistent creativity.
