Get a Grip!
| |
| President and Michelle Obama slipped up when they gave the Queen of England the "sandwich" handshake. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to appear on Fox TV in Chicago to discuss it! While people may decide 10 things about you within 10 seconds of seeing you, it takes only 1-3 seconds to speak volumes through your handshake.

Six Life-Threatening Marketing Problems
| |
| 90% of start ups don’t make it past their first year; while 90% of the survivals don’t live long enough to celebrate their 5th birth day. I don’t want to paint a gloomy picture here, but it’s the brutal fact all entrepreneurs have to face.
As an education marketer, I have dealt with hundreds of business owners struggling to promote themselves through conventional advertising, and I can honestly tell you that the #1 reason for failure is lack of cash reserve to bring product to market, in another word, it’s a marketing problem.

How to advertise without spending $1 on advertising
| |
| Are you a boot-strapping entrepreneur struggling to get appointments and find new customers through conventional advertising methods?
What if you could discover one method to generate business around the clock without spending a dime on advertising?
Does it sound too good to be true?
Before I explain, let me ask you one question…

Shackled to Our Own Ideas
| |
| The Romans had many creative ways to kill people. One was to shackle a live person to a dead one: face to face. Eventually disease and death would overcome the living.

Guerrilla Marketing Memes
| |
| The prehistoric man, Uba, spent all day in the rain trying to catch a fish because his family was very hungry and in dire need of food. But he was unable to grab a fish from the stream even though he occasionally got his hands on one. Frustrated and weak from hunger, he just couldn't grab any fish firmly enough because it would slither from his hands and return to the stream. Worse yet, the light rain turned to a heavy rain and Uba was forced to seek shelter in a nearby cave.
