Virtual Book Tours - A Marketing Tool for Your New Book
A virtual book tour (VBT) uses similar concepts as a book tour except it is done virtually on the Internet. Instead of physically going on a tour visiting book stores, you visit blogs.
How to Read a Book in Ten Minutes a Day
We're all busy. Life moves at a rapid pace and we do our best to keep up. Reading becomes one of those things that gets put on the shelf (pun intended) because other things become a priority. And yet, when we do get to read, we enrich our lives and our businesses. I know a lot of people who say that they'd like to learn to speed read, but very few of them actually do it. The perception is that it will take some time to learn. Actually, it's very easy and even if it does take a bit of time, it can reap huge rewards of saved time in years to come.

How Quickly We Forget
I started using Dragon Naturally Speaking products about a year ago. I actually bought the software some three years ago but had a few false starts and finally gave up on the idea of dictating to my computer. It wasn't that the products were hard to use or didn't work - they are easy and do work.

How To Get Clear On Who Your Ideal Clients Are
You have a choice about the people you work with and you don’t have to take everyone who comes through your door. As loving therapists, we have all been taught to build our businesses the wrong way. We started our businesses because we love to help people and told ourselves it didn’t matter how much money we would make. Money is for other people. Healers aren’t meant to be wealthy.
A Plea to my Publisher
Sometimes life just happens. I have a book manuscript due on February 1st. In light of that looming date, I just sent this note to my publisher:
Hit the Jackpot with a Book, New Product/Service Launch or Grand Opening
When you have a grand vision of your book hitting best seller status or the new product launch making thousands upon its release, self imposed pressure to ‘knock it out of the ballpark’ can be hazardous to your success. It can also be hazardous to your health. I’ve even seen how the stress can negatively impact the overall success of an entire business.
The “adjacent possibility”
A few years ago biologist and researcher Stuart Kauffman came up with a term he called “the adjacent possible.” It’s a complex theory but here’s a simple way to look at it. Think of being in a house that magically expands with every door you open. You walk into a room and see three more doors leading out. Once you open one of those doors you enter another room with another three doors leading to yet new rooms. Keep opening doors and eventually you’ll realize you’re in an expanding palace.
The world doesn’t pay for what you know, but for……….
Okay I’ll go ahead and finish the sentence: The World Doesn’t Pay You For What You Know but for What You Do. I guess we would all acknowledge the truth of that and yet I am amazed at the number of people I run into who are bogged down in analyzing, learning, planning and organizing when what they really need to do is take action. I think more than anything else that’s what separates winners from losers – the winners take action.

The Secret - Ancient Scrolls and Their Impact on the Sales Force
Al Turrisi was kind enough to give me a book called the Power of the Kabbalah. Its ancient scrolls originated around 4,000 years ago, inspired The Secretand predate Moses and the Bible! Since this book is not the Kabbalah itself, rather a Cliff Notes version, it tends to read more like a self-help book. It is far more powerful than a self-help book though as it points to a number of rules that will cause a transformation in one's life.
Start Marketing Your Book Today-Whether You've Finished It or Not!
Although everyone thinks about book marketing AFTER they've published a book, smart authors start before they even go to press.

Authors: Rename Your Book For Another Crack At Success
There are several reasons to rename a book such as adding a subtitle to be friendlier to search engines. Another important reason is to get a new copyright date because many book critics will not review an old book and reviewers often define an “old” book as one with a copyright of more than a year old.

A review of the book, Pitch Anything, by Oren Klaff
As President of the B2B demand generation company, Find New Customers, and a prolific blogger, I’m often invited to do book review. But after doing quite a few, one grows jaded a bit – so we ask tough questions. The two questions I ask every time I do a book review: Does the book bring fresh insights and perspective? Is the book well written and easy to read? Only a book that gets a “Yes” on both questions gets a 5 star review.
