If you're contemplating a business or relatively new to it, you should read this book. If you're really serious, reach out to Matt."" - Frank Agin, President, AmSpirit Business Connections ""I started my business in 2008 and have been through every stage that Matt talks about in The High-Five Effect and his descriptions about each one is spot on. As business owners, we often feel isolated and in a bubble because we spend the majority of our time behind a laptop. While we might feel like we are the only ones with these feelings and issues, we are not. Matt's book and philosophy about building solid business relationships is refreshing and encouraging because as humans we need to feel connected to the people we surround ourselves with. We spend more time with our work families than we do with our real families so you better believe that having good relationships with our clients is important to making us happy."" - Ronii Bartles, Business Strategist and Marketing Expert ""I've read so many business books over the years, but this one is different.
