"It didn't get me a job, but it taught me how to go about finding one. And it gives you a great base education about all the facets of the industry outside of your main interest. Basically, this DVD saves you A LOT of time."
— Cathy Hawk
Philadelphia, PA

"I loved this DVD because instead of playing the six-of-degrees-of-separation game, where you're trying to gather insight from every relative that works on the peripheries of the industry, you hear insight from the people who've made it, who started out just like you."
— Derek Olson
Los Angeles, CA

"The DVD and the e-books worked together as a puzzle and it gave me a bigger picture than just the television business it gave me insight on the business of networking which is very vital in any successful endeavor in dealing with business, people and both. I looked at the DVD and the e-books as a tool for a business strategy and by getting the insight of others I was able to isolate and find my complete niche with your resources. Thank you very much."
— Gustaveous Rasheed,
Poway, CA

"It's practical and entertaining. When you see these established pros talk about their climb, you get a sense for both the obstacles they faced as well as the lessons they learned along the way. Informative and inspiring."
— Richard Beichner
