Double Double: How to Double Your Revenue and Profit in 3 Years or Less, by Cameron Herold, covers how to create a vision for your business, share it with the world, and make it a reality — all while upholding work-life balance. A quote of his that inspires me is: “Workaholics aren’t successful. Workaholics are just busy.” Herold will teach you how to double your income by working smarter, not harder.

 

Bob Bly’s book, Secrets of a Freelance Writer, Third Edition: How to Make $100,000 a Year or More, benefitted me tremendously back in 1998 when I left my ad-agency copywriting career and launched Good Copy Fast. Note: The ebook equivalent of this book is: Write and Grow Rich! 

 

After reading the above-listed book by Bly, I read his book, The Copywriter’s Handbook, Third Edition: A Step-By-Step Guide To Writing Copy That Sells, which familiarized me with how to efficiently complete my clients’ various communications projects. The ebook equivalent of this book is World’s Best Kept Copywriting Secrets. Bly’s books are definitely worth checking out if you aspire to be a successful freelance copywriter.

 

In today’s digital age, the opportunities available to us are limitless. As a communicator, I’m like a kid in a candy store. I can write, self publish, blog, do online marketing, run multiple businesses, the list goes on! Wishcraft: How to Get What You Really Want, by Barbara Sher and Annie Gottlieb is helping me establish and clarify my vision for my personal and professional future.

 

Presenting video blogs and live webinars is hot, and harder than it looks. In my quest to become a better presenter, I’m reading Transformational Speaking, by Gail Larsen. The book promises to transform even the most reluctant orator into an agent of change. The first group I’ll be speaking to after reading this book: my daughter’s third grade class!

 

Thoughts become things. Energy flows where attention goes. After listening to this inspirational Harmonic Wealth audio CD, or reading the book, James Arthur Ray will convince you that your dreams are well within your reach. So dream big!
