Are press releases a regular part of your online and offline marketing strategies? If not, you may want to incorporate them ASAP.

This is a topic I?€™m passionate about because I KNOW they work.

Recently Nancy Juetten of Main Street Media Savvy posted a blog post on the topic and referenced one of my posts about press release success along with input from other industry experts. Check out her post for valuable press release tips here. More Insights From Industry Experts On Making The Most of Press Releases

I?€™d love to hear how you?€™re using press releases to gain the recognition you deserve. What?€™s working? What isn?€™t?

For this Rock On selection I’m going back in time. I recently grabbed a handful of CD’s from my collection. I specifically picked albums I hadn’t really given the time of day before.

One of them is Indigo Girls ~ Come On Now Social it was originally released in 1999 (I know I need to get some new music and an Ipod but I’m still resisting – hey, I miss vinyl LP’s) and apparently the producer has discontinued this CD. So, I’m glad I have a copy because as I listened to it (while on a road trip) I found some notable and diverse tracks. I love diversity especially in music. So, if you’re brave and can handle hard hitting tracks with lyrics about suffragettes, some fun collaboration by Sheryl Crow and Joan Osborne plus more surprises, grab a copy on Amazon while you still can. I’ll admit this took a couple of listens before I found a few favorites but it’s worth the time.

Mindset has almost become a buzz word. What’s interesting about this is the effect mindset has on our everyday lives is not a new concept.

I’m one of the many who tried to read Napoleon Hill’s Think & Grow Rich many years ago, at a time in my life when I wasn’t receptive to the information.

Then, when my mentor, Ali Brown, sent me a copy last year, I took note because I respect and trust her recommendations. I’ve now read it a couple of times and revisit specific sections regularly. Each time I flip through the pages, I gain new insights into my own mindset.

The book was originally written in 1960, long before I was born and the concepts remain invaluable and tangible today. If you haven’t read this book, or if you’ve tried to read it before and the information didn’t stick and even if you have read it, I urge you to take another look and really open you mind to the gifts inside this book.

I believe it’s important to know you have the ability to create the life of your dreams regardless of what you’re hearing in the media, regardless of what others think and regardless of what your true desires are.

This book supports these beliefs and more. If creating the life of your dreams, making a difference and living your purpose sound good to you, why not grab a copy of the book today and discover:

• That thoughts really are things and your beliefs will shape your world and accomplishments
• Your desires are the beginning of all achievements so think BIG and reap the rewards
• How to incorporate visualization and belief to get what you really desire
• Ways to incorporate autosuggestion to achieve your goals more quickly
• How to leverage your specialized knowledge to get exactly what you want professionally, personally and more.

These quick bullet points are just a smattering of the brilliance contained in Think & Grow Rich. Grab your copy today and I’d love to hear how it impacts your life.
