414: Taking Your Next Book From Blank Page to 10,000 Copies Sold with Chandler Bolt

by

Today’s guest is making at least his third appearance on the Read to Lead Podcast (it’s hard to keep up these days).

Chandler Bolt has updated the content of his bestselling book that also has a slightly revised subtitle.

It’s now called Published: The Proven Path From Blank Page to 10,000 Copies Sold. And you should grab a copy right now. It’s jus $14.99 on Amazon. But, if you’re one of the first 50 people to click that link above, Chandler will send you a copy completely free (no shipping and handling even). How’s that for a deal?!

If you’ve been thinking about writing book, maybe even making it a New Year’s Resolution but you haven’t been able to make it happen…or, you’ve been sitting on an unfinished manuscript waiting to press publish…or, maybe your book launch failed and you’re wondering what went wrong…then this book is DEFINITELY for you!

A few weeks ago, it was three-time guest Dan Roam. Today, it’s the CEO and co-founder of BigBlueGumball, Todd Cherches.

Todd’s recent book is called VisuaLeadership: Leveraging the Power of Visual Thinking in Leadership and in Life. In it, he describes how the concept will forever change the way you think and communicate by showing how you can quickly and easily leverage the power of visual imagery, mental models, metaphor, analogy, storytelling, and humor to help you take your game to a whole new level.

412: Strategies for Creating a High-Revenue Microbusiness with Elaine Pofeldt

by

I first met today’s guest when I discovered her last book The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business. Immediately, I invited her to appear as a speaker for my online Boss-Free Summit. She was great!

Her name is Elaine Pofeldt, and she’s just published a follow-up to that book called Tiny Business, Big Money: Strategies for Creating a High-Revenue Mircobusiness.

If you suspect you may be the bottleneck that is preventing your business from realizing the growth you’d hoped to see, it may be time to add contractors, freelancers, or even (gasp) employees!

In Tiny Business, Big Money, Elaine walks you through the journey dozens of other small business owners have taken to successfully get to that point and realize their true potential.

She profiles nearly 60 microbusinesses who have all reached $1 million in annual revenue without losing control or selling out.

411: The Actions That Will Make AND Keep Your Family Rich with Chris Bystriansky

by

Few would argue there are many more lucrative options to building wealth than through real estate investing.

That’s the expertise of my guest today, Chris Bystriansky. But more than that, Chris has managed to instill the concepts of passive income through real estate into the brain of his six-year-old daughter, ensuring that she will likely never have to hold down a traditional J.O.B. at any point in her adult life.

They don’t teach this stuff in school.

Chris’s new book is called Renting From My Six-Year-Old: The Actions That Can Make AND Keep Your Family Rich. In it, he walks us through the path he took teaching the power of passive income to his daughter.

People I’ve shared the book with are already beginning to instill these ideas into the minds of their kids. Believe me when I say it’s pretty exciting once you begin to see them grasp the power of getting their money to work for them in truly powerful ways.

410: Creating the Most Persuasive Presentations of Your Life with Dan Roam

by

My guest today is someone I’ve learned a ton from when it comes to creating and delivering better presentations.

dan roam

His name is Dan Roam. I was first impacted by his first book called The Back of the Napkin (links to his books below). Then, it was Show and Tell and Draw to Win. Later, I had the chance to see him present in person and even got to meet him afterward. He is incredibly gifted at what he does.

His new book, which was released in October of last year, is called The Pop-Up Pitch: The Two-Hour Creative Sprint to the Most Persuasive Presentation of Your Life.

In it, Dan outlines a fast and practical visual storytelling method that puts a powerful new toolkit into the hands of leaders, innovators, salespeople, teachers, and anyone who needs to quickly make an impact on increasingly distracted audiences.
