This is a terrific book for the professional. It covered every aspect of setting up my PI business, and then some. It's well worth the investment as every chapter is worth its weight in gold if you're serious about your future.
I highly recommend this book to every aspiring PI, even if you "think" you have a handle on everything. Great advice. Interesting reading. You can tell immediately that the information comes from deep experience. I appreciate that.
I looked at the available career books and came upon Private Investigation How To Be Successful! It helped my transition tremendously. Yes, I could start my own business, and here was exactly how to do it, step by step in a very positive guide.
Did I need this book? Candidly, yes. Too many pitfalls out there to try this on your own. I couldn't afford to just "try" this out; I needed to succeed big-time.
And I did. Bill Copeland knows what he's writing about. The perfect book for anyone in transition. Most highly recommended.
"So this is what it's all about" was my thought when I finished. The street never prepared me for this, and neither did six years as a detective.
This book pushed me to take the exam seriously. I passed. This book helped me prepare to open my business...totally. It worked. This book told me how to get clients and set my fees. Today I'm in business.
Literally hundreds of suggestions to get up and running, then hundreds more to make money. Things I would have never thought about.
Read this fine book through once, then take it chapter by chapter. It's all in order and it all makes sense, especially when I finished the process.
This book changed my business plans. I was wrong. The book was right.
It's an upbeat book. I found it thoroughly readable. I found I really needed it. Definately the best by far.
