Stuart Crawford, a good friend of mine and someone I look to as a mentor in business, released his free eBook “Connecting the Dots to Business Success in Today’s IT Business”. While the booklet was written for IT Professionals, it can really be used by anyone.
Stuart talks at length about the rapidly changed IT industry. He talks about customers and the role of a service provider. You need to understand where the market is today, and this is what the eBook is about. It is about “Connecting the Dots” today, so you can be successful right NOW!
Stuart wrote “Why is this book free? …I am not charging anyone for this eBook, it is completely free. Life is about helping others and providing assistance to our colleagues in the marketplace. Life is about giving back to the community. So pick up your eBook today!”
I enjoyed reading Stuart’s report and found many parallel’s between his thoughts on the IT Business and our business of website design and development. Thank you Stuart, for sharing your thoughts and advice.
