It only took a year, but the paperback is finally available. There are some revisions that have been made with the thousand and one re-edits that the book has gone through. I'm excited that the paperback is finally done, and will be up on Amazon and Barnes & Noble within eight weeks. My fingers are crossed and my marketing mind is whirring. I so want to know what the best route to publicize the book is now that it is done. I have so many plans and want to do them all in the right order. T… Continue

I'm taking a minute from explaining how the book has been delayed because the person I hired to format it did it incorrectly so the proof looked unprofessional and i have to have it redone. Well it is redone, I just have to add the index. I plan on doing it myself, because really I have the worst luck! If I ask you to work for me, just say no. You will either have some horrible family emergency, or you will get sick, or you will not know how to do what I ask. Because, and I'm not kidding, it h… Continue

Smelling that book, knowing you did t… Continue

The marketing plan in place, the seminar all scheduled... It mostly went off without a hitch. Except for the quality of the seminar audio. For some reason, the online seminar room wasn't buffering correctly...or something. I don't know if the recording sounds better, I hope it does. If it does not sound any better, the only plausable option is to re-record it myself and then use Camtasia to record the presentation. Then it can go on YouTube, and once it is hosted on YouTube I can display it… Continue

Do you ever wonder if you're supposed to be networking on holidays or just taking the day off? It depends. Easter dinner can be a great time to remind your family what you're looking for. A better job, more clients, etc. Many people think family can't help them unless they directly "know someone" but that's not always the case! If you tell your mom the kind of job she's looking for, and your mom talks to the woman behind the deli at the supermarket, and the deli worker's husband knows someone… Continue

I'm going to be presenting a talk at VAnetworking.com called "How to network like a superstar!" The primary focus is going to be entering the room in a way that makes others take notice...in a good way. No more will you have to worry about tripping over your feet, or hanging out by the door with a panic-stricken look on your face. You do have to be a member of VAnetworking.com to attend, for more information please visit http://www.vanetworking.co… Continue
