= = =

What’s in the book? To give you an idea of some of the subjects covered in the Goal Driven Business, I put together a list which you can find below. You can also access this on the website, GoalDriven.com

In addition to the Free Kindle version, when you also sign up for our

Goal Driver’s newsletter with tips you won’t find anywhere else, you will receive 10 Powerful Goal Driven Tools FREE to build and develop your practice.

or go directly to Amazon and get the Goal Driven Business book only, in hard copy or Kindle download

I truly recommend you get the free Kindle version of the Goal Driven Business book. I also encourage you to pick up a hard copy. It is valuable information which we have used over the years to improve offices, just like yours. A hard copy book is nice to read, and re-read, like Dr. Peter Heffernan mentions:

“Ed has nailed it, with all his years of experience, in this book!

Read it and reread it, it is that valuable.”
