Marketing Legend Names "NO BS" Advisor to Charlotte!



It's official...I'm a certified business advisor! I've been consulting and speaking and various other types of provoking and advising but now I'm CERTIFIED in the "NO BS" variety of advising. Thanks to Bill Glazer, Dan Kennedy, and all the marketing minds, masterminds, and members that make up GKIC Insider's Circle, today I became the official "certified" NO BS Business Advisor for the Charlotte, NC area (my home field marketplace).

Along with Lane Ostrow and Michael Crowder (friends and business associates here in Charlotte) we'll be the purveyors of all that is Glazer-Kennedy when it comes to RADICAL GROWTH and MILLION DOLLAR MARKETING IDEAS! We're excited to have this opportunity and to be working with the Legendary Dan Kennedy on yet another project. More to come...

On The Beach...Again!

I love the road. I love the travel and the seeing new places, meeting new people, but I also love it when the road ends. Cause that means I'm at the beach. The beaches of the Carolinas are varied and amazing, each with an appeal and uncommon look and feel all their own. From the Outer Banks (you know that's where you see the Weather Channel broadcasting from LIVE whenever there's a coastal storm) to Wrightsville (near Wilmington, NC) to private and quiet Ocean Isle and Holden Beaches, down to Myrtle and all parts south.

Nothing like a little sand and some crashing waves to unload a bit of those pressures we all deal with daily. Some cliches' are true I've found, like all work and no play making you DULL...keep your tools, and your mind, SHARP. Here's hoping you're close to a beach or at least a place almost like it...very SOON. Ahhhhhh...

Change or DIE...

That's the title of my opening keynote for over a thousand automotive dealers and leaders here in Fabulous Las Vegas. The message is actually based on information from the medical community that says even when an individual is faced with impending DEATH from poor health habits that they must change if they want to prolong LIFE...studies confirm that less than 10% will actually CHANGE! Wow...how much more is that true in the marketplace? That faced with the changing economic conditions MOST businesses and individuals continue doing the same old things, not changing and somehow expressing shock (or BLAME) when the changing marketplace passes them by to spend their money somewhere else. CHANGE OR DIE! Interesting...

Also while I'm here the very first WINNERS CIRCLE coaching call LIVE from the Las Vegas Hilton. Gotta' love it. How we still have the opportunity today to basically create a business from zero, pour yourself into it and watch it take off. It still amazes me, and it happens every day in America!
