Happy New Year! It’s time to start anew with some fresh thinking.
What happens when you put a bunch of brilliant people together? You get a great (and free!) e-book that sets up a perspective to create a fabulous new year. Seth Godin is at the helm, so you know it’s good. Here’s the link: http://tinyurl.com/ye8pkb3
As many of you know, I’ve been experimenting with free — and it’s been a blast. I’ve watched my video on the top four ways to position your book travel near and far.

Last week, I sounded the alarm about new expectations of “free stuff.” Now, here’s an example of someone doing it right.

To help others make money from their efforts, Bruce is presenting “Disover the Secrets of Getting More Customers Using a Blog” seminar on August 27th in Scottsdale, Arizona. And, yes, it is free. No selling, no pitching … just a good guy helping others out. Because he believes it will come back to him tenfold. Click here to get the details and to sign up.
It’s easy to give your expertise away when it’s online — it’s another to give a whole morning of your life in real time, giving real, individual help. As for me, I’m nominating him for sainthood…
