How To Become An Author

This is my story of how to become an author. You have heard me speak about the fact that I wrote a book that has not been published yet, mostly because I did the process half-ass backwards. The book I have written titled, “The Boomer’s Ultimate Guide To Social Media” was originally conceived as a self-published book to use as part of my business marketing.

Bob Burg, Author of The Go-Giver

A highly sought-after speaker at corporate conferences and entrepreneurial events, Bob Burg is best known as coauthor of the business parable, “The Go-Giver”.  Bob is an advocate, supporter and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money you makes is directly proportional to how many people you serve. And, he is also an unapologetic animal fanatic. Bob has written four books that have sold over 250,000 copies each.

He believes his newest book, Adversaries into Allies: Win People Over Without Manipulation or Coercion is by far his most important work yet.

I asked Bob to give us his 5 principles of Ultimate Influence and to explain the premise of his new book. Do we begin all sales relationships as adversaries? See what Bob Burg, author of The Go Giver has to say on this #ACTLOCALmarketing interview.

Setting A Marketing Calendar 2015

Having a marketing calendar 2015 saves you from making a common small business marketing mistake…or what I like to call…spaghetti marketing. The throw it at the wall and see if it sticks approach to small business marketing is a real killer. And here’s why.

It’s very easy to make a wrong decision based on anecdotal evidence. We tend to hang with other people who reflect our values, likes, dislikes and habits. In fact, funny enough, if you were to write out an avatar or profile for your ideal client, you would notice that they start to resemble…YOU!
