Ebook: It Pays to Be Paranoid : Securing Business Success by Preparing for the Worst

This is a book about avoiding mistakes when making basic business decisions--the kind of mistakes that can result in catastrophic expenses, lawsuits, losses, and bankruptcies. As a veteran private investigator and business consultant, Christopher Eiben has witnessed firsthand how frequently these avoidable mistakes can wreak financial and personal havoc on businesspeople. Through in-depth analysis of authentic case studies, and insight born of his years of experience in the field, Eiben explains how certain prescriptive measures--more careful hiring practices, improved security, effective and thorough due diligence, and others--can limit risks and improve the odds of business success. In the current business climate, with the ever-increasing strategies available to the unscrupulous, the devious, and the outright criminal, this kind of "paranoia” isn’t just a necessary tool--it’s a virtue.
