Altman, likely known to readers from Bravo's Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles advises how to use confidence to succeed in business and life. The author's three-point plan of "Ready, Fire, Aim" draws parallels between his real estate successes and the taking of dramatic risks, while telling stories on how to incorporate chance into various situations. "Ready" discusses how to better recognize and use gut feelings to make major decisions; "Fire" is all about execution and how occasionally pulling the trigger without a full plan is what leads to more opportunities; and "Aim" gives permission to reevaluate and change one's trajectory during this process. Although the book at times lacks in clarity and tangible advice, Altman's philosophy of following one's instinct through different career paths offers a perspective on how to be successful in all business endeavors.
VERDICT Entertaining material that has been covered elsewhere; an optional purchase.
