Rigging the Game
By Dan Nicholson
Why do some always seem to win while others always seem to fail? And why do others win and then fail to maintain their spot at the top?
Is it luck?
Not to spoil the contents of this book, but noâŚit isnât.
To see consistent success in your own business, you're going to have to turn the magnifying glass on yourself. Because the fact is, nothing you doâno action you take, no strategic financial decision you makeâmatters if it doesn't bring you closer to the things you really want.
So how do you ensure that you can ultimately reach (and fund) your priorities?
Rigging the Game is here to help you create and follow a path to the things you truly value, whatever they may be, and eliminate the risk and financial uncertainty that commonly plague business owners every single day.
