Enlightening and entertaining, this book is filled with true stories and lessons from author Bonnie Low-Kramen's 25+ years working with Academy Award-winning actress Olympia Dukakis. Low-Kramen is also a co-founder of New York Celebrity Assistants (NYCA). THE AUTHOR COMMENTS... I love being an assistant. In fact, I strive to be an ultimate assistant, someone who seeks excellence and improvement - not just on some days, but every day. I don't always succeed, but this is what I try to do. Are you so inclined? Ultimate assistants are like that, and I am privileged to know quite a few, including some whose experiences are in the book. I wrote the book for three reasons. The first is that this work is frequently misunderstood and has been subject to warped misconceptions by the media. The second is that there are too few resources for assistants, and certainly not only those who work for celebrities. Third, there is a tremendous curiosity about the work. I decided that I was in a unique position to set the record straight and tell it the way it really is to those who actually want to know the truth of it! 18 chapters include: How do you find a job? Glamour, Glitz and other perks. Salary & Benefits. Stories & quotes from assts. Skills & Qualities Needed. Public Speaking. Event Planning. Resources-To-Go.

Here are just a few of the lessons you’ll learn: Negotiating the purchase and sale agreement – Discover what you MUST include in order to maximize your opportunities to negotiate further with the seller. (Super important to know.) Reviewing the leases – Not knowing what provisions to watch for could cost you dearly once you own it. Don't leave it up to chance that it will "work out." Uncovering hidden problems and issues – Sellers will NOT disclose these, so you need to know where to look for them. They will not "hand you a list of problems" about the property. Many of these issues could make or break your investment. Critical factors to consider during your financial analysis – A list of essential questions that MUST be addressed is included. Leaving these questions unanswered can be potentially devastating to an investment. Not over-paying – Make sure you’re getting all you deserve by getting credited fairly for items on the closing statement.

These fundamentals remain the same and are all applicable whether they are residential rental properties, industrial, retail, or office buildings.

In addition, the handbook includes: Physical and mechanical Inspection photos that show you what to look for and how to assess issues.

Most investors, real estate brokers and commercial real estate professionals barely scratch the surface conducting their due diligence. Mainly because "they don't know what they don't know.” I’ve spent over 30 years helping investors buy and sell over 9 million square feet of property and witnessed the practices of professional and small investors.

I want you to know that I have been there and that you can rest assure that there is a way to realize your dreams, obtain success and join the 1% of the most productive people in the world. And you are going to do it in just 7 days...I was in desperate pursuit of my goals for a long time and knew that there was a high correlation between time management and how fast I obtained my goals. Over and over I tried and failed to find the right formula for unlocking my potential. I researched, interviewed and analyzed until I made my first breakthrough. I found the core principles that every productivity and time management technique is based off of. This book contains that system.

They were skeptical and doubted that it would actually work. After some convincing and more begging than I am willing to admit, they gave it a try. I had them track their performance over the next month and log it in a journal for review. I assumed that my results were special because of the work I put in beforehand and that they would only improve around half as much. To my surprise, they saw almost the same amount of increase in productivity as I did. They reported feeling like they had more time than they knew what to do with. Finishing large projects in half the time as before. Making more meaningful steps towards their goals and feeling an overall increase in their quality of life.That is the power of mastering productivity and time management. What took me almost a year to achieve, by using my system, it only took them days.Because I desperately want you to have this book in your life, I am offering a 200% refund on your purchase.That means if you don't find any value in this book, then I will give you double what you paid for it!
