Richie Norton, author of the new book The Power of Starting Something Stupid, shares ten quotes to live by.

You are what you believe yourself to be. — Paulo Coelho

Know that you are the perfect age. Each year is special and precious, for you shall only live it once. Be comfortable with growing older. — Louise Hay

Don’t waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window—or break down a door. — Brooke Shields

Just can’t live that negative way… make way for the positive day! — Bob Marley

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. — Oprah Winfrey

You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. — John Wooden

Every moment you get is a gift. Spend it on things that matter. Don’t spend it by dwelling on unhappy things. — unknown

Look for the blessing in all situations. — Wayne Dyer

Change your thoughts and you change your world. — Norman Vincent Peale

Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you. — Dr. Seuss

===

What if the smartest people in the world understand something that the rest of us don’t? (They do.)

What if they know that in order to achieve success, they will sometimes have to do things that others may initially perceive as stupid? The fact of the matter is that the smartest people in the world don’t run from stupid, they lean into it (in a smart way).

In The Power of Starting Something Stupid, Richie Norton redefines stupid as we know it, demonstrating that life-changing ideas are often tragically mislabeled stupid.

What if the key to success, creativity, and fulfillment in your life lies in the potential of those stupid ideas?

Richie Norton has written a book about courage. The courage to do work that matters and to do it with your heart and your soul. Go make something happen. — Seth Godin, author of The Icarus Deception

Making Friends: The Essence of Marketing

Spread the love
  14

All of marketing ultimately comes down to one thing: creating relationships.

Here are four key tips to help you create effective business relationships:

1. Create your Kremer 100 list. Don’t try to be friends with thousands or millions of people. You can’t do it. Focus on 100 key media and marketing contacts.

2. Be persistent. Once you’ve developed a database of key contacts, you must be in touch with them on a regular basis — at least once a month. Tell them something new with each contact.

3. Create a word-of-mouth army. Since 80% of all books are sold by word-of-mouth, your primary goal in marketing your books is to create a core group of people who will spark that word-of-mouth.

4. Become a people person. If you are going to become a successful book promoter, you will have to cultivate a fun feeling when you go out into the public. If you genuinely care about people, you will have no problem facing the public. Just open your heart and let it out.
