A few days ago we got a question from Lamar asking, “What questions should new investors be asking?” We liked the question so much we decided to make an entire episode out of it. We conducted a survey online and got some interesting responses which I will share plus I will weigh in. Here’s why this is important. If you are new, you need to make sure that your first project has the best chance of succeeding. In order to do that, you must engage in risk mitigation. And how do you do that? Ask questions. Ask a lot of them. Don’t be afraid to be new. Everyone was at some point. The question may be obvious, even to you, but ask it if you don’t know or are unsure. Today I’m going to focus on questions that may not be so obvious to you, the newbie, that we all wish we WOULD have asked if we had known. Plus we have news about the world of real estate coming up in just a few minutes.

Hello and happy Thursday! What makes Tom, Tom? Why is Tom like he is? Ask Tom and his answer would be, "No one knows!" Why do you share then? "Same answer!" #lol Tom finds himself feeling nostalgic, in a good way, which doesn't happen often. Once Tom has an open gate, it soon becomes flooded; Tom will feel everything so he knows it's done. He's never not shared so, he'll just keep doing him, hoping, wishing, praying YOU do the same! BECAUSE you are worth it! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

My most recent guest on the Small Business Marketing Minute podcast was Tom Corson-Knowles, the founder of TCK Publishing and ebookpublishingschool.com. One of the things he specializes in is helping business owners write and publish books so that they can position themselves as a trusted authority in their niche. As you know if you're been reading my blog or listening to my podcast for any length of time, I wrote and published a book in 2015 about small business marketing that has helped my business grow significantly since that time. Naturally, this has made me a big believer in book authorship as a marketing tactic for local business owners. Many of you reading this right now are probably thinking to yourself that this sounds like a great strategy for other people, but would never work for you, because... You're not a good writer... You don't have the time to write a book... You don't have anything interesting to say... It's a tactic that just wouldn't work for your industry... ...or any of a half-dozen other excuses. If that's the case, then you need to listen to my interview with Tom, because he blows all those excuses right out of the water. The truth is, as Tom explains, that the only thing standing between you and a book with your name on the cover is your limiting beliefs. In our interview, I ask Tom: Why local business owners should consider writing a book How they can decide what to write about How they can go about getting the work done even if they aren't a great writer I also asked Tom to share a real-life example about a local business owner who successfully used book authorship to increase his sales, and the example he shared is actually one that many local business owners can replicate. Listen to my interview with Tom Corson-Knowles and learn all about how to write and publish a book to promote your business.
Gracepoint is nearing its conclusion and the clues are coming at us quickly! Why did Susan give Danny's skateboard to Tom? Why was Tom REALLY out at the hiker's cabin? Is the hiker really innocent? What is the connection between Susan and Vince? Should we believe Paul's story about why he attends narcotics anonymous meetings? Also, will the Solano family be able to find a path to happiness when the story concludes, or will they break apart like others who have suffered the loss of a child? Read More...
