When Creating This Playbook I Had Two Options:

The first was to skimp on the value by keeping the playbook super-short and charging less money.

The second was to pack the playbook with as much valuable information as I could, so you have the absolute greatest chance of duplicating my clients' success.

I chose the second option because I really want you to succeed.

The best way I know to help you do that is to share everything I’ve learned about project management in this playbook so you have the same knowledge as I do.
