About the Book*:
This book will help you appreciate the ease of creation and the depth of value a book (or series of books) can create for your business. Whether the author writes the book themselves, had their clients/partners provide content, or had it ghostwritten, you will be informed and inspired by the stories and lessons of others’ successes with books.
The authors in this book wrote content that allowed them to demonstrate innovation, share their marketing strategy, improve client retention, and share tricks and techniques on using a tool or service. The fact that they put this content in a book gave their ideas weight and increased their credibility and reputation. Having the books show up on Amazon, BN.com and other bookstores as well as personally delivering their books to clients/prospects really helped to drive the impact of their message.
If you are a CEO, CMO, evangelist or someone in your company that needs to demonstrate thought leadership, drive lead generation, and increase revenue, this book is an invaluable read as it will help you catapult your success.

Next, I would like to introduce you to another book on the business book list on Amazon and on my reading list: ‘The Money Class’.
The Money Class: Learn to Create your New American Dream by Suze Orman
This book has come out today, March 8th on the business top 100 list on Amazon. I enjoy Suze’s no nonsense, straight forward approach to helping people with their finances. Most of our conversations, whether in business or personal revolves around money. In this economical stage (which is ever changing) it is good to have someone who gives it to you straight.
Amazon.com Review*
Suze Orman, the woman millions of Americans have turned to for financial advice, says itâs time for a serious reconsideration of the American Dreamâwhat promise it still holds, what aspects are in need of revision, and how it must be refashioned to fit our lives so that we can once again have faith that our hard work will pay off and that a secure and hopeful future is within our reach.
In nine electrifying chapters, Orman delivers a master class on personal finance for this pivotal moment in time. She addresses every aspect of the American Dreamâhome, family, career, retirement. She teaches us that in order to create lasting security we must learn to stand in our truth. We must recognize, embrace, and be honest about what is real for us today and allow that understanding to inform the choices we make. The New American Dream is not the things we accumulate, says Orman, but the confidence that comes from knowing that which weâve worked so hard for cannot be taken away from us. In THE MONEY CLASS, Orman teaches us how to take control over our presentâright here, right nowâin order to build the future of our dreams.
Whether navigating the complicated mix of money and family, offering the most comprehensive retirement resource available today, or delivering a bracing dose of reality when it comes to recalibrating our expectations and our goals, Orman educates us with her signature no-nonsense approach and laser-like clarity. She empowers us to live a life of integrity and honesty that will create an enduring legacy for future generationsâa New American Dream that lies in truth, security, financial freedom, and peace of mind.
