Listen to Jim Collins:
Author of Beyond Entrepreneurship, Built to Last and From Good to Great
"I had the immense privilege of working with John Willig during the writing of Beyond Entrepreneurship.
During our work together, John exhibited numerous strengths that helped to make the book far more
successful that it would have been otherwise:
- An excellent sense for the overall shape of the book — what should be included and removed.
- Helped me evolve my writing style to be infinitely more effective.
- Pushed me to get the title right. Without his pushing, prodding and listening I'm sure I would have
settled on a weaker title.
- Displayed imagination in coming up with marketing ideas.
- Shared my high standards for the book and was receptive to making sure the book was well designed. He understood the importance of getting the details right.
Finally, John was great to work with on a daily basis. Any author that has the opportunity to work with
John is very lucky indeed."
