Ask Mike

In "Ask Mike", Financial guru Michael Gonnerman answers questions asked by people who start, run, finance and work with early stage companies. The book deals with hands-on issues overlooked in accounting and business management textbooks -- like, how do you deal with a difficult partner or investor? Which employees are most valuable if you have to reduce headcount? What's the best way to hang on to customers, negotiate a merger or keep the sales reps motivated?
