In the 21st century branding is personal and personal branding is at an all-time level of importance to keep ahead of the onslaught of competition, technological advances, and market forces that impact you and your career or industry. The distinguished credibility of Publisher Author is more powerful than PhD, or any other advanced degree, because it means you are an Authority and that your ideas matter to the world.

There are No Limits
There are no limits except for those we set in our mind. You have thought about writing a book for months, years, or maybe even decades, and now you realize that there is nothing in your way unless you allow obstacles to prevent you once again from sharing your wisdom and heart with the world. No Limit Publishing will remove the barriers of the broken traditional publishing model while retaining the valuable partnership a publisher provides and that today’s author’s require and deserve. You don’t want to do a book just to do it and have it sit in your garage because you worked through a self-publishing factory that doesn’t know your name or care about the success of your book or business. You need a publisher with an innovative model, an intimate working relationship, and powerful business model to help you monetize in multiple ways while leveraging the branding power that your book will bring you. It’s time to take the next step…The No Limit step!

Cement Your Legacy
Family Legacy Is Becoming Real to Me Now
As my years advance towards age seventy, I am now taking the word LEGACY, to heart. What I think is most important is not money or land or stuff but the fact that I did try to reconnect with my wife and daughters and grandkids. I admit to being reclusive, a bit of a hermit. I am constantly looking for ways to break out of this prison I create for myself.
When my wife and I travel, we reconnect. We went to Hawaii on our honeymoon and it set a great pattern for us later on. Decades later we always look forward to ‘getting out of town’ and escaping the urban frenzy. Sometimes this is just a short one hour roadtrip and sometimes it is to the tropics. It’s all good!
Then there are the three daughters to reconnect with. We are all close, but in different ways. One daughter plays guitar. I have always played guitar so this is a great way to reconnect if we have grown a bit distant. My grandaughter, that is her daughter, has now learned to play guitar so there now is a good feeling of legacy that warms my heart.
Another daughter loves to talk about rock bands like U2 and Led Zeppelin. This how we reconnect. Just lately, we took her to an amazing concert starring Paul Simon and Sting. This was on her birthday and we could tell she was really into the music!
Our oldest daughter also loves music, but more like Abba and Supertramp. I love these bands too! My grandson, her son, plays electric guitar. Cool! This daughter loves to eat fish and chips with her old dad, on occasion. This is a very yummy way to reconnect, if you ask me.
If I let myself become a hermit, then I will turn into a hermit crab. This is what my inner child is wisely saying. I am trying to heed this warning and break out of my shell. Maybe soon I’ll try some social media or just stick to writing articles. It is all helping me to emerge as a person. It also helps that I walking a lot on sunny days and playing a lot of guitar and mandolin. If I permit myself, I might even attempt fiddle or string bass. I am on a roll!
Even thinking about RECONNECTING is having positive effects on my psyche. I will move forward with this new positive attitude, seize the moment, and continue to write article after article!

You’re A Leader of Industry
How to Become a Leader in Your Industry
Why are some people successful and others are not?
I do not believe that you could pin point it to one particular skill. It’s a mix of a number of skills. Some you could consider natural but majority of them can be learned, developed and cultured.
Today I want to talk about how you can become an industry leader. By doing this everyday, you will become the leader in your chosen field.
Study your chosen industry just one hour per day
It is as simple as that. By reading, researching, listening and learning for one hour everyday about your industry, you are guaranteed to become a leader. That’s 7 hours every week and over 300 hours a year.
Today knowledge is power. By keeping up with the latest industry trends and being ahead of your field is everything.
Read a book every week
When was the last time your read an entire book? Set aside some time everyday to spend by yourself while you read. Books do not take that long to read if you read a small chunk every day.
Before you begin reading, write down what you want to learn from the book you are about to start reading. Read with a purpose in mind.
I try and read a book every week. Each book is usually on a different topic within Internet marketing or social media or programming. I’m going to start reviewing them on here as I finish reading each of them.
Read industry magazines and papers
If you do not read them, who do you think is? Your competition of course! Learn what is going on in your field and stay on top of it.
Subscribe to related blogs
There is a wealth of information available on blogs that is updated daily. Get yourself a blog reader and subscribe to blogs that are going to get you ahead in your industry.
Learn while you commute
Many people spend hours every week traveling to and from work. If you drive to work, listen to an audio series instead of the radio. You can listen to podcasts or audio books while you drive.
Information overload
It is easy to get wrapped up with all the information that is available today on any topic using the Internet. You need to learn how to scan through the junk and get to the meat.
Each day, I scan through 200+ posts about Internet marketing and e-commerce. I might only read about 20 of them but by doing this each day, I am keeping up with the latest trends, techniques and strategies out there today.
Writing my blog
When I started my blog, I did not realize how far behind with my industry that I was. By starting a blog, it has forced me to learn what is going on with the big players such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter etc and looking at opportunities that exist.
I recommend anyone start a blog even if you are not after readers. By typing out everything you know about your industry, you will realize just how valuable and knowledgeable you are.
Conclusion
If you read 1 hour every day, 7 days a week for 46 weeks a year – that totals 40 x 8 work days. That’s nearly 1 1/2 months spent getting ahead in your field.
Read the best information about your industry for one hour every day and let me know how you go.
