“I came across Ricardo’s guide recently and sat down to read it over a coffee and a slice of cake. Reading it from the perspective of somebody who has been around the block and remembering what it was like when I was the new kid on the block and I wish I had had it when I started.
I recognise many of the scenarios and remember the people who created them, good and bad. It’s saved on my phone now for future reference and I will show it to my son, he just got his SFX JIGs trainee status approved and now has an entire block to circumnavigate. I have no doubt that having this in his back pocket will save him time and sleepless nights.
“Testimonial: This guide helped me in deciding how to use my time and energy in a my own small business when working with new clients and opportunities. I find the bite sized information easy to digest and the keys of action highlighted in red a good guide post as I move through different situations.
The hardest part for me is saying no, and I often rush a decision to yes. Spending a week or two with each of these keys has helped me elevate my worth and command my time and energy in a way that is efficient, aligned and compensated accordingly.”
