Rating: Summary: Valuable Asset Review: Whether you're a professional freelance writer, like me, or a consultant for a firm- you need to read this book.In a world so consumed with the 'gimmes' and the 'gottas' this book offers a very different view of the business world. We all have specialized knowledge and how we can benefit from sharing this with those we work with or for, is in essence the nutshell of the business. How many people have sparked a creative thought or showed you a side or solution you hadn't thought of? We gleen this knowledge from them, but what do we do with it? Do we take it and keep it to ourselves, never exposing the great idea to those who could greatly benefit? It is far more productive to spread the word, joy, idea or whatever with the people who have hired us as a consultant or employee. I have often had extremely productive conversations with large, important business owners, and yes- even millionaires who listened closely and enjoyed my creative insight. What's more is I didn't charge them for my time, I was simply sharing. Did this knowledge sharing Ross Dawson discusses cause me any loss or to be cheated out of profit? Not at all, they'll remember me when they need a new idea, and will likely hire me because of it. Dawson brings to light words we all needed to hear- what goes around comes around. I plan on sharing, how about you? Buy this and give a copy to a co-worker or boss as a gift!
