You ought to be...

4 weeks ago I had no clue how to even upload my book to Amazon. 

 

What did I do?

I borrowed someone else's brain...

 

Why?...because

It's An Amazon Jungle Out There! Ever get to the point in your life, you have had enough of your own excuses?    Ever decide that those last 10 pounds have got to come off?    That you will make six figures in an industry that is exploding with opportunity...like sales?    Well, I had such a moment a couple of months ago.  The past couple of years, I had distributed 1,000's books and programs, had spoken live at dozens of events and people all said "You should be on a national stage."   Modesty aside, I am one of the best story-telling inspirational & instructional self-development personalities I have ever seen.  I have watched them all and thought "I can do that at that level".    Being able to do it and gaining access to the "big break" are two totally different things.     This year, I wanted to get single-mindedly focused on my goals.  I had great content in books, a dynamic personality (ok, it is time for modesty now...sorry!) and resources to begin building a platform.    What did I do?    I hired a 'book whisperer".  A mentor for authors looking to build a platform.    The first thing he asked:    "What are you doing to separate yourself from the herd of talking head and thousands and even millions of people who want to do the same thing?"    I began," I have trained over 35,000...    "Blah, Blah, Blah", he interjected.  "Why are you different and why should I let you do this for me rather than the countless others I could choose from."    Silence.    That has happened only twice in my life...the first time I was 14 years old tying my shoe when the love of my life said "hello" in the hallway.    For all my sales & marketing experience, bravado, and confidence, I really didn't know what was going to set me apart.  At least not something I could quickly put into words.  I could sell rings around this guy "on my turf", but books was a new arena.    Unchartered territory...does anybody feel me?    As the silence became deafening, and it was obvious he wasn't going to speak first (he should have been in sales!), I said,    "My books are fantastic and they will speak for me."    He took a moment to reflect on what I had just said and in what seemed like minutes said,    "You are right...but it's an Amazon Jungle Out There."   What did I do next? The same thing I will ask you to do...   I borrowed his brain!    Until tomorrow, I wish you Money, Power, Success!
