Why Epiphanies Never Occur To Couch Potatoes, By Mark Amtower

Posted by Dan Janal | January 9th, 2008

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Anyone who wants to actively take control of their life and define success in terms that mean something to them, and not let someone else determine their terms of success.

Q: What is the book about?
A: This book is part business autobiography and part motivational/inspirational. It shows how I succeeded in the world’s largest and most competitive market (as a one person consultancy) by defining the rules I live by. Then, by living life on my own terms, being truthful and candid, I became one of the most relied on and influential voices in marketing to the government. It demonstrates the many ways ideas can present themselves to you and how you can use these ideas to expand your business horizons.
Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I am the only person to write this as it is my journey. While the rules I have chosen are not necessarily new, my way of presenting them has been equated to Steve Covey’s habits being presented by Conan the Barbarian: easy to follow, no nonsense, with a heavy dose of attitude.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: Confidence, attitude, results and impact. The Amtower attitude (seen in my writing, ezine, and interviews), heard on my radio shows and in my speeches. The results achieved by me, my clients and those I have mentored over the years. The combined impact of each of these and the resulting confidence displayed in all aspects of my life.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Anyone interested in leading a successful, ethics-based life: those starting a career and those stuck in a rut in the middle of a career; those who manage and those who may want to manage; those ready for a career change and downsized who need to be reminded that they retain value.

The Working Workbook, By Camille Leon

Posted by Dan Janal | January 2nd, 2008

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: Anyone who is looking for work for the first time, or after an extended period of unemployment. This is great for those looking for entry-level or re-entry jobs. It is also an ideal resource for staff and agencies who help the unemployed get back to work.

Q: What is the book about?
A: This is a straightforward guide to get employed in ‘the real world’ no matter what choices or circumstances have held you back in the past. This book answers the difficult questions that come up when you’re trying to turn your life around by getting back to work and becoming self-supporting.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: With seventeen years experience in Workforce Development, I’ve worked with a wide variety of clients and staff to help more people overcome barriers to employment and get back to work. I’ve worked with clients returning to work after caring for parents/children, disability, welfare, jail/prison and gang involvement. Staff and clients from state, county and private agencies have been to my seminars. I’ve worked as an employee and as an employer, and write from both sides of the hiring process.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A; While most books on this topic are long and politically correct, The Working Workbook is short, sweet, to-the-point and refreshingly honest.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Since I use an easy-to-read workbook format, it is easy for readers to come up with their own answers to the challenging questions which will come up on applications and in interviews.
