Pretty Good to Me

First off - Goldmine will help you automate your business processes, so it's an all purpose tool. This book does a lot to show you how to make parts of the tool work. Becuase GM is so capable, it has a steep learning curve. Once you get to a certain point, your can do your business, manage your prospects, standardize communications, do reporting, etc. GM is flexible enough to adapt to almost any small businesses processes, so guess what, setting it up in the first place is a bear. Learning to set it up is harder. This book will help if you already have some knowledge of databases. It is not a Developer's guide, but it does go beyond the manuals that come with the system. I was hoping when I bought it to be able to set up GM from the information. I could have, but to save time we hired a developer to get ours set up, and periodically need maintenance. It's a good introductory reference, but not a course.

Change and organize your life now.

I recently purchased this book and it has seriously changed the way I manage everything! I got it before a long tedious airplane trip, and for my lousy $18 investmest, I got the motivation to make anything I want to occur happen. My office and house is already starting to make my life easier, and my stress level has been reduced to zip. I really recommend this book to people that hate being disorganized, stressed out, and get angry easily. Overall, this is a wonderful book, and tough long jobs and businesses will prosper.
