The First 8 Pages

Let me share with you the first 8 pages of my diary. You see, each of these pages has a different title I have written. Each title relates to one of 8 steps which have the power to transform a business.

Each step is just as important as the other and under each heading I list ideas and strategies as I learn them or get a brainwave. That way, when I am looking for ideas to grow my business, I just look on the appropriate page. It also means I don’t get overwhelmed by ideas and feel pressured to do everything at once. I know where to find it.

So, what are these 8 key steps? 8 steps that you only need to make small changes to, in order to see massive results?

Over the next few articles I will expand on each of the steps but I’ll list them below. Keep these in mind when planning a project or when looking for ways to increase your profits. So here goes… Read more

3 Ways To Build A Business Based On A Book

One of the main questions I have been asked this week is “how do you build a business on a book you co-author?”

Let’s get one thing straight first. You don’t make your money from selling the book. This is one of the biggest misconceptions. People like JK Rowling may but don’t count on sales to make you a fortune.

So if you don’t make your fortune from sales of the book, how do you make money?

Attract Your Ideal Customer

When you are positioned as an expert in the eyes of the public (which happens as soon as you publish a book) you stand out from the crowd.

When your ideal customer is choosing between 2 suppliers who do you think they will choose? The person with established credibility who is a recognised author or the person with no established expert status ?

Get Free Publicity For Your Business

Main stream media such as radio, TV and newspapers LOVE an author. In their eyes if you are an author you are an expert. Also, if you have contributed to a book you are TALENT. In media speak, this means you have a story to share and a depth of knowledge to make that story interesting. You can’t pay for this type of coverage.

Create products & coaching programs based on your chapter topic.

If you’ve read the book “The Secret” you will have noticed that there were many contributing authors. Rhonda Byrne owns the book but many of the individual authors have used their inclusion to really grow their businesses. Search on their names. You will find many who have created courses, tele-classes, work books, work shops, conferences etc all based on what they shared in the book. This is where the real power lies and is the topic of the coaching program run by Christine Kloser for the contributing authors of The Power of Choice Book.

An Opportunity To Co-Author An International Best Selling Book

I have such an exciting opportunity to share with you. I started to write  about it here but found I just couldn’t express my passion and excitement enough using the written word. I had to talk to you face to face. So I sat in my dining room last night and made you a video. I can talk faster than I can type!!!

I’d love to hear what you think. You can find out more at http://www.powerofchoicebook.com

Wow what a great bunch of action takers we have in our Wonderful Web Community.

A few days ago Carrie Wilkerson challenged me to make and upload a video to YouTube. “Just do it Janet”. So, I extended the challenge to YOU. You can read all about the challenge and view my first video here. It’s only been a few days and we already have 13 inspiring action takers who have taken up the challenge. I’ve added their videos here for you to have a look at and hopefully inspire you to take action too. So what about it? You’ve got until Wednesday morning Aussie time to make the deadline and hold your head high. Wouldn’t you like to see your name and video listed here, and in my newsletter, and in Carrie’s and in Mr Videos?

A Crazy Week Ahead

In the morning I head off in our heavily laden car, with bikes, canoes, cricket set, soccer ball, swimmers, children, grandmother, cousins,Sister & Douglas The Wonderful Web Man for a family Easter holiday beside a lake. I’m sure you can visualise the craziness. So I look forward to seeing even more wonderful videos from you great action takers on my return next weekend.
