Description
Book SynopsisDo you consider yourself a hunter? If you have you ever dated, played sports, or held a job, then your answer should be yes. We are always hunting trying to track down and take the things we want, the things that will make our life bigger, better, safer; more satisfying, exciting, and just plain fun.
Trade Review“I never thought of myself as a hunter until this book proved me wrong. David’s no-nonsense style has given me a unique insight to approach my meetings, projects, and even personal goal setting in a more productive, calculated way. All of our portfolio leaders here at DVP (and entrepreneurs in general) think of themselves as hunters, out to disrupt the status quo. Start your own hunt today, with this book, and move closer to achieving whatever’s at the other end of your arrow. I highly recommend The Hunt.”
