THE ROBIN HOOD METHOD
Raiding and Poaching Strategies to Enrich Your Small Business
Hello fellow entrepreneur!
Have you ever had a panic attack? Me either, until I missed the first mortgage payment of my life. A disastrous start-up and an empty bank account can do that.
Perhaps your journey has been smoother than mine, and you’ve never experienced the feeling of being broke. But for those who’ve faced dire business crises, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
While bad luck can kill you, most small businesses do poorly because the owner lacks the vital skills necessary to generate consistent sales and profits. They make mistakes. If only we had known how to do it better, we would have done it better!
So that you don’t have to make the same ugly mistakes I did, I penned “The Robin Hood Method – Raiding and Poaching Strategies to Enrich Your Small Business.” This book isn’t about literal theft; it’s about capturing invaluable wisdom from your most successful competitors. Information is gold, and it’s hidden in the office of your most formidable rival.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John gained valuable finance experience from his extensive career in banking, where he served as a commercial credit analyst, lender, and branch manager. Unfortunately, this didn’t help him in his own disastrous start-up, where he belatedly learned that business theory differs from the harsh reality of business. But he didn’t give up. Instead, he collaborated with two fellow entrepreneurs to develop – The Robin Hood Method –, a simple yet revolutionary approach which involves working collaboratively to “swipe the jewels” from elite competitors in order to create more sales and profits for an existing business, and for jump-starting a new one.
This innovative approach, and hard work over twenty years, allowed John to create $100 million enterprise (Premiere Canadian Mortgage Corp.), which he sold a few years ago in order to retire. This also gave him the time to write this book, the purpose of which is to help others avoid his initial blunders and the stress that comes from a new or floundering business.
Since selling his company, John enjoys retirement with his wife, splitting their time between the warm winters of Mexico and the lush summers of the Okanagan Valley in Canada. His passions include playing old timer soccer, biking, chess, and immersing himself in books.
