Because you’ll know that angering the competition is a losing strategy. And that making them a strategic partner is the sure way to success. (See page 12 for details)
You’ll know what the Government is expecting to get from you, so they won’t shut you down without warning.
You’ll be sure to craft a business plan that allows for changes. (All smart business owners know to be flexible) And if you want to get a loan, you won’t leave this important piece of information out. (See page 22 to know what I mean)
If you don’t know a thing about detailing a car, but want to get started right away, my guide will tell you what you can pick up from the store today to get rollin’.
In 50 pages, I let you behind the scenes of the car detailing business. So you know the ins and outs even before your first customer. I could charge hundreds of dollars per hour as a consultant with the information I’ve collected.

“You can have the finest moves in the talent contest, you can boast a trophy speed-dial list on your iPhone, you can possess the single-mindedness of Paul Revere and be as self-assured as Muhammad Ali . . . and you still won’t nail the job unless you know how to mold and merchandise your personal pitch. If this is true when times are booming-and it is-you can only imagine how true it is in times like these.”
Harvey Mackay, Fortune magazine’s “Mr. Make- Things-Happen,” has written five New York Times bestsellers, including one of the most popular business books of all time-Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive. Now he returns with the ultimate book on how to get, and keep, a job you truly love whether you’re twenty-one, fifty-one, or seventy-one.
The average person will have at least three career changes and ten different jobs by age thirty-eight. In this era of downsizing and outsourcing, you can never be sure your job will still exist in five years- or five weeks. So you’d better think of your career as a perpetual job search. That demands a passion for lifetime learning and the skills for relentless and effective networking.
Mackay shows you how to be at your best when things are at their worst. His hard-hitting topics include:
- beating rejection before it beats you
- warning signals that you might be losing your job
- acing interviews
- negotiating the job you want not the job they offer
- taking advantage of the way bosses make hiring decisions
- blending the latest contact tools with old-fashioned face-to-face networking
Uplifting, amusing, and jam-packed with proven tips, Use Your Head to Get Your Foot in the Door will guide you through the toughest job market in decades. It’s also the definitive A-to-Z career resource for the rest of your life.
