I got turned on to a book a little while back that was written by Jack Covert and Todd Sattersten. The book is called ““The 100 Best Business Books of All Time”.” As I mentioned back in January, I’ve been reading like a maniac, but there was no real rhyme or reason to what I…
DetailsEveryone has great ideas. A lot of my ideas come to me as I’m trying to fall asleep. I seem to be able to really think and concentrate on my ideas during that time. The problem is, most of us rarely do anything with those ideas. Back in 2006, my buddy Dane Morgan had an…

You can blow piles of cash on newspapers, radio advertising, television commercials, or just hope for the best. But I’ve got a better suggestion.
