YOU NEED A PLATFORM
To succeed as an author and a speaker, you need what the publishers call a “platform”. That means you’re already getting noticed in the world a subject matter expert.
Remember when you were 16 and couldn't get a job without experience, and couldn't get experience without a job? It's like that. Publishers love authors who are successful speakers and/or have lots of media exposure. Meeting planners (the people who hire speakers) love speakers who are authors. The public wants to buy from you, but they first have to know you exist and how your content will help them. None of them can buy anything from you unless they can find you. The important first step is to realize you want to become an expert in “information content selling” through all methods and media available. We are leaders in this paradigm shift, and specialize in helping you differentiate yourself to achieve your highest professional goals.
Some experts believe that unless at least 150,000 people are exposed to you, your name or your message at least every three months, it will be next to impossible to achieve high levels of success in our information-overloaded world. Let’s begin collecting your audience now.
It's pretty hard to get all those pieces of the puzzle together all by yourself. You may be an expert in your subject matter, paid to speak now and then, even have a book published, but can you say with confidence you have marketed yourself to the highest level of your ability? There are SO many innovative ways we can help you get noticed. Should we choose to work together, our goal will be to help you stand out from the crowd - snatch your well-deserved “15 minutes of fame” - and experience the wealth (in every sense of the word) that comes from knowing you’re making a difference in the world.
Our practical, proven methods can help you build your market in these vital ways:
Print (magazines and newspapers – articles by or about you and your message)
Radio (being a radio show guest or host)
Television (having your own show, your own infomercial or being a guest)

We help you create these primary components of an “Information Empire”: Book, Radio, Print, Television, Internet, Speaking and Product Sales. Just add your charisma and your wealth of wisdom!
Maybe you’re asking some typical questions: These components of success sound like a lot of work! How do I start? What do I do first? Why not just let the publisher do all that? How about waiting until I get on Oprah and then just seeing what happens after that? What’s the best use of my time and energy? Isn’t there a “straight and narrow” superhighway to get me there without waste? Can’t someone help me cut right to the things that give the most leverage for the time and money spent? Eventually, you'll come to realize you are going to need some assistance.
We can help you find the most straightforward path to achieving your goals.
We offer two programs to help you:
In our "Total Career Management" program, potential clients begin with an intake screening process. We will evaluate your proposed topic against market conditions, your expertise, your eagerness to learn and your personality. If accepted, we'll give you everything we’ve got - heart, soul, skills, support and brainpower included.
The "Learn and Earn" progam offers a systematic coaching program. You will be guided, supported and taught how to “do-it-yourself” every step of the way. Learn and Earn participants can add on “a la carte” services for parts they don’t want to do or skip portions they've already achieved (for instance, if you already have a strong-selling published book).
Whichever program you choose, we’ll help create your whole empire or fill in the gaps so you have a smooth, effective, money-making, attention-attracting prestige machine when we’re done.
- If you think knowledge is power, you might be a Learn and Earn client.
