    All Rules Are Wrong

    There is only one thing you need to know if you want to accomplish anything.

    All rules are wrong.

    That’s it. You don’t need to know anything else.

    All rules are wrong.

    Learn the rules. Then break them. Do things your way.

    Learn the rules first. Then smash them at will.

    All rules are wrong.

    Including this one.

    Yes, it’s always good to learn things, discover things, uncover things, even recover things. But don’t be afraid to do things differently.

    Discover your own truth. Find a way to do things your way—with the time you have, with the money you have, with the friends you have, with the other support you have, and with the knowledge you have (or can gain by reading, networking, and attending seminars).

  • A College Degree Isn’t What It Used to Be

    Spread the love

    Is College Worth the Money?

    35% of respondents to a recent survey said college is not worth the expense. Plus, 43% said a college degree isn’t necessary to succeed in real life (Salary.com).

    The average American college graduate faces a $29,000+ student loan debt (College Access & Success’s Project on Student Debt).

    The outstanding student loan balance in the U.S. is almost $1 trillion (Federal Reserve Bank of New York).

    31% of student loan borrowers are delinquent in repaying their loans (Federal Reserve Bank of New York).

    And, sadly, recent college graduates face an unemployment rate of 13.3% and a median weekly income of $464 (as of 2012 according to Pew Research Center).

    36% of college graduates don’t even work in a field related to their degree.

    The average in-state public university student now spends more than $18,000 a year for tuition, fees, room, and board (College Board). The costs for out of state students and private college students is much more!

    The average college graduate will earn $831,000 more than the average high school graduate before retirement age (Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco), but that doesn’t take into account the $75,000 they spend going to college and the four years of lost income (both of which could have been invested and earned way more than $831,000 in compounded interest in 40 years).

    The one argument for going to college (greater earnings) becomes a fallacy when you take into account the compounded interest that could have been earned from the money spent to attend college as well as the four years of lost income. And the opportunity costs of paying back any college debt.

    Facebook Marketing

    Here are a few of the book marketing posts I shared recently on my personal Facebook page. For more such tips, follow me at http://www.facebook.com/johnkremer.

    You can market your ass off, but if your product sucks, you’re dead. — Gary Vaynerchuk

    5 key areas of Facebook posts to test: frequency, timing, type, length, and @tags. via Mari Smith

    Media like the 3 C’s: celebrities, crime, and catastrophe. Too bad they don’t care for real people making real change.

    With a little feedback from authors on Facebook and Google+, here’s my amended bio: Book marketing expert John Kremer is the author of 1001 Ways to Market Your Books, mentor to authors who have sold over a billion books, and founder of the Billion Book Initiative to help the next generation of book authors sell another billion books. Over the past 30 years, he has helped thousands of authors, both major celebrities and those just starting out.

    What Can the IRS Do to You?

    Just a timely cautionary reminder. Get your taxes in now — or, at least, by the 15th!

    The IRS can do more to you and quicker than any other creditor in the world. The IRS can go after your wages, your bank accounts, your property including real estate, your savings, as well as any other assets you may own.

    If you have your own business, the IRS can also go after any of your customers or vendors. Last but not least, in certain situations, the government can initiate criminal prosecution and put people in prison for not paying the taxes they are supposed to pay.

    Wage Garnishment: The IRS can take a portion, if not all, of your entire paycheck depending on how you are paid.

    Bank Levy: The IRS can seize whatever is in any of your accounts with a bank or most other financial institutions.

    Levies of Client Accounts and Vendors: If you own a business, the IRS can levy the people that owe money to your business.

    Seizure of Property: The IRS can take away real estate, vehicles, art, work equipment, and pretty much any other asset.

    Criminal Actions: The IRS can impose criminal actions for fraudulent activity including sending you to jail.

    Tax Liens: The IRS can file liens against your property, including real property.

    For more details on what the IRS can do to you, check out Tax Relief Central: http://taxreliefcentral.com/what-can-the-irs-do-to-me.html.
