Here's the replay of the Launch Party. During this 45-minute video, recorded last year, you can see:
Writing this book took me five years, because I wanted it to be good. People say it's a worthwhile read:

๐ Here's my gift to you:
You can download the PDF or EPUB digital copy of Marketing Yourself. This is a full copy of the manuscript, and I hope it helps you grow your business and increase your impact in the world.

Hello Reader, It's that time of year, when we look back at 2024 to remember our victories, learn lessons from our failures, and prepare for the year ahead. "Look back to learn how to look forward." - Joe Girard Every year, I look back by doing an Annual Review. This consists of answering these 4 questions: What went well last year?
