In today’s uber-competitive business world, dominant companies think differently. They center everything they do around maximizing their customer's experience and engineer backwards to ensure their customers are saving time, effort, and money. There is a mathematical formula called the Hassle Quotient that dominant companies use to ensure they maintain their status and never rest on their laurels.

In this book, you will learn to take advantage of these traits and measure your success on the way to becoming truly dominant.

The Honorable Lawrence Wood “Chip” Robert Jr. (Georgia Tech) was a famous Atlanta architect, FDR’s right-hand man, a power in national politics, and one of the creators of the Marshall Plan.
A Georgia native, Chip Robert Jr. became recognized as a principal player in bringing industry and prosperity to the South. He founded one of the largest architecture firms in the nation, served as FDR’s Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, worked tirelessly on many of the public works projects that helped pull the country out of the depths of the Depression, and so much more. And through it all, his love for his alma mater Georgia Tech remained strong where he was an initiate of the Gamma Alpha Chapter (Georgia Tech), captain of the cross country, football, and baseball teams, and graduated with degrees in civil engineering and experimental engineering.
