Success Story #1: From Thought to Broadway in 90 Days
In October, a Broadway actress starring in a featured role in the musical, “The Color Purple,” engaged me to assist her with a product idea. The project: to take the handbag she designed and have it be featured for sale in the kiosk in the show’s lobby in 90 days or less. This was no small feat: taking a product from an unknown designer and make it magically appear on the show kiosk of a major Broadway theater.
The result: Through my guidance and preparation for her meetings with designing partners, show producers, publicists, and the worldwide kiosk operations company director as well as introductions to key team members to provide proper legal guidance, her idea went from thought to the Broadway kiosk by the end of January, just shy of 90 days from when I met with her in October.”

Success Story #2: From 1 Lonley Performance a Week to Booked Solid for 7 Consecutive Nights in 13 Days
I began working with this celebrity performer in the early part of July. At that time, she was experiencing a challenging situation with her present gig and performing separately on stage on an average of one night a week. Her activity and visibility was way down and her professional team was less engaged than she wanted them to be. Her website was out-dated and she didn’t even have a Fan Page on Facebook, much less a Twitter account. She was facing a time where action was needed – by everyone, including her. I was engaged to support her with the navigation of the challenging situation at her main gig, re-engagement of her professional team, and her own accountability to stick to the disciplined activities needed to raise her visibility and move her career forward.
The result: In just 13 days, with my guidance and selection of focused activities that steered clear of the emotional and uncomfortable situation at her current show, she was booked for seven nights straight with live stage performance sets – and audiences that knew about them. She also had a book idea outlined and a meeting scheduled with a high profile literary agent.”

Success Story #3: From Legend in Her Own Niche (Unknown Everywhere Else) to International Star Power!
This well-respected acting teacher with her own signature technique in the field of acting for professional performances in film, television and theater had a desire to crossover into the world of teaching Higher Consciousness work and personal development while maintaining her visibility and popularity among those who knew her from her 30 years of teaching actors, many well-known, and professional crossovers from the modeling and music worlds. Her instruction had worked virtual miracles for the actors she’d worked with, and she felt it was time to bring her own work to a place of higher visibility.
With only a website designed to speak specifically to the acting community and a book on her signature acting technique, she engaged me to assist her with raising her visibility, attracting new opportunities to teach more people in professions outside the acting community while not compromising her existing work, and finding a path inside and outside the acting community for her new book idea and project. In February, we began working together. By May, she was signed with a publisher and attended Book Expo America (the largest industry publishing event in the United States), with her book cover featured in her publisher’s booth.
With my guidance and input, she also established a new website including a blog which is updated weekly, an active Twitter account, and Facebook and LinkedIn presences to network and introduce her work to new people including over 17,000 contacted in one day on each network. All this while maintaining her acting classes and workshops and continuing to contribute to the acting community.
The result: Her new book and workshops for those in and outside the acting community are scheduled for release and poised to launch in October 2009. She also has a 4-city U.S. tour scheduled complete with book signings and workshop weekends and is planning for the UK in Summer 2010.”

Success Story #4: From Certified Financial Planner + Salesperson to Author in 7 Weeks + Published in Less Than A Year
I was referred to this business owner following a seminar with Jack Canfield, a great friend who subsequently interviewed me for his private Platinum Mastermind Group about book publishing and marketing. This business owner learned of me from one of his fellow seminar attendees and called me with his book idea. It was a great one.
He enrolled in my “Write It Now” class where he wrote his book in just 7 weeks during this “Your Book Is Your Hook!” private book consulting group class. He followed my guidance and engaged artists in interviews while quickly and easily crafting the content for his book. It flowed and in 7 weeks, he had it completed. And he was happy.
Four months later, he sought me out in the afternoon at a publishing industry event when he found out I was there too. I was happy to see him and inquired about the status of his book and what he did with it. His response? “Nothing. I need you to help me. It’s been sitting ever since we completed the class.”
During the industry event we were attending, I had caught up with an old friend who ran a publishing company and was at the event for one more day. I said to my client, “Let me see what I can do to help you.”
That afternoon, I scheduled a 9:30am meeting the next day with the publisher for my student. By 10:30am, we had a deal and he had a publisher. That was March.
The result: By November that same year, his book was released and he became one of the top selling books for his publisher during the next 6 months. He also built his Internet presence including the website and Facebook presence for his project — and has become a regular blogger and video blogger on his book site.”

Success Story #5: From CEO to First-Time Author
A CEO and visionary of an online community sought me out for a book idea he had that would engage the leaders of his industry as contributors to the content of his book alongside him. In addition, he wanted to include the perspective of the consumers who had benefited from the programs and products offered by the industry and its teachers. He engaged me to guide the project and be the mastermind and brainchild behind the orchestration of this Herculean project.
I designed the pitch to the industry leaders which successfully engaged their participation in the project, advised the CEO on every part of the process from writing interview questions and interviewing techniques to crafting a content approval system to successfully acquiring permissions for perpetual use of the material as well as promotional permissions for their pictures and images, and organizing a time-sensitive system for collecting consumer input to include in the project.
I was also asked to organize, edit and stitch together the content of the manuscript from more than 60 individuals including the CEO’s featured content into a fluid, easy-to-read book that could be enjoyed by those new to the industry as well as appreciated by those who were already familiar with it. The successful execution and coordination of all of the processes mentioned above and more were completed in just 77 days.
The result: the initial manuscript was written and completed in its entirety in just 77 days. The book went on to be endorsed and promoted by the industry leaders and is still appreciated today.”
