I just wanted everyone to know that the book launched yesterday, and is free to download from now until May 24th. Check out it, and please let me know what you think. I'd appreciate it if anyone who reads it could take a moment to write an honest review on Amazon when you are done.
The sales dashboard won't show me numbers for some reason. Maybe it will when it launches. I just know it has a sales rank of 6,145 of all paid Kindle books.
The book just hit #1 in Public Relations and #5 in Small Business on Amazon. It's a bestseller still two weeks from launch. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen! I'm already planning on my next books.
The same thing I do every morning, Pinky. Working on my business and petting my rescue cat.
Also, timezones are a thing. It's already 6:30 in the morning for me.
How not to sell:
"Hey everyone. I've got something really neat inside this box. I'll let you have part of it if you trade an enormous amount of your time with the skills you have been developing your entire life and normally charge a lot of money for. Oh, you want to know what's in the box...
Begin the letter by explaining how and why you are contacting them. Any email I got from a stranger which started that way without tell me who they are and why they are contacting me would immediately seem like spam to me.

If you are in business long enough, it is inevitable that you will eventually make someone mad. The best defense against the ravings of an angry madman are the praises of a multitude of polite, articulate, successful customers. That, and responding to his lunacy with a well-worded and courteous...
I am generally unimpressed when people talk about how many LinkedIn endorsements they have. This is because I have strangers endorsing me for things they couldn't possibly know my level of skill in every single day.
Can you tell me why I, as a highly competent salesman, should choose to represent your products instead of someone else's? Can you sell yourself to me before you ask me to sell you to someone else?
Thanks to everyone who has offered their help on my book so far. I plan to offer it for free for 5 days upon release. In the book, I mention some of my experiences working with nonprofit groups like youth entrepreneurship camps in Ghana to teach them the basics of starting their own businesses...
Whether for business or personal use, there are a lot of good reasons to diversify your banking. I'm a full time traveler who has planted in flags in several countries, including the incorporation of my business, my residency, citizenship, property ownership, and bank accounts. I'm also an...
I've worked with providers of a few different types of offshore investments, mostly in the agricultural niches like coconut, papaya, and other tropical fruits in South American and Southeast Asia. The idea is that they have organic growth built into the principal.
The way I'e always put it is that I'm extremely good at talking... but without the help of others, I've got no one to talk to! I'm what you would call an outgoing introvert. I'm unstoppable with a small audience or private discussion, but it has always pained me to have to figure out how to get...
