From the author: "If I had known these business rules when I was 25… I would have saved myself a fortune. I've spent over half a century in business. Winning contracts, making money, losing money, building teams, designing and building processes, making and fixing mistakes. Over a number of years, I started writing down the rules that actually worked in the real world, rules that helped me get through some very challenging times. This book is not motivational fluff; it is not theory - rather it is practical lessons learned the hard way. Learned through half a century of commercial scar tissue. I cover a very wide range of topics, such as Cash flow matters more than profit. Know your client better than they know themselves and Speed is a weapon in business. The book came about because I realised something. If these rules helped me survive half a century in business, they may well help others avoid unnecessary and very expensive mistakes. So, I wrote them down and created Old Skool Business Rules. I hope you enjoy the book and more importantly, that it helps you in your commercial journey. Because when the hype fades… the old rules still work." Half Century Old Skool - Irwin (Win) Stewart
