```text
Using the books and notes in this notebook, help me apply what these authors teach to my situation: [YOUR SITUATION, e.g. I'm raising my rates next month]. First, summarize each author's main advice on this in 3 bullets, with where it appears in the book. Then show where they agree and where they disagree. Next, give me a step-by-step plan that combines their best ideas for my situation, noting which book each step comes from. End with 3 questions each author would ask me. Only use what's in the sources.
```
