The meek will not inherit the earth. Children will. That is the children taking over the business their parents started. Family businesses make up 90% of all companies in the USA. But it’s rarely a simple transition. Dr. Patrick Woock has co authored a book "Succession: Navigating Generational Success" with Susie Ginsburg. They expose a lack of succession planning and the challenges of dealing with heirs lacking essential skills. Listen in to learn more. #entrepreneur #podcast #familybusiness

Is self-publishing a book worth the effort? When the average sales are only 250 copies, you have to ask yourself if this was a good use of your time. I've just completed my 3rd book, so I feel your pain. Finding readers and building momentum can feel like an uphill battle. But what if there was a way to leverage podcast interviews to boost your book sales and grow your business? Podcasts are the perfect medium to literally tell your story. Audiences get to hear your voice. I've hosted up and coming authors on my show, like DC Palter, and they are wonderful guests. But authors could be doing more to turn those interviews into book sales. Join leading book consultant Julie Broad and me as we do a deep dive into how to use podcasts as an author. 🔍 **In this session, you will learn:** - How to find and secure podcast interview opportunities 🎙️ - Strategies to turn podcast listeners into loyal readers and customers 📈 - How to repurpose those interviews into marketing content 📚 📅 **Date:** This Saturday ⏰ **Time:** 10am PST 📌 **Register for free by clicking the calendar event below. I look forward to seeing you there! #Authors #BookMarketing #Podcasting #Entrepreneurship #Webinar #BrandBuilding

Is it time to go south instead of east for your virtual team? Jaime Nacach thinks so. And he wants to change the perception of 'virtual assistants' to virtual team members. It's not just admin jobs but highly qualified professionals who are available from Latin America. The story of Virtual Latinos, and how he started selling in LA and hiring in Mexico is a great entrepreneur story. Companies big and small are outsourcing semi-permanent roles at all levels to Latin America. Find out why, how much it costs, and how Jamie has built one of the fastest-growing private companies in America. https://lnkd.in/eyBxfxsT #podcast #entrepreneur #virtualassistant *Virtual Latinos Ranks No. 80 On The 2023 Inc. 5000

Is AI Mightier Than Pen? I've just authored Volume 3 of The UnNoticed Entrepreneur. 50 x 25 minute interviews. 125,000 words. One book. I tried to use AI....This is what I learnt: - Anthropic wrote better copy ....but doesn't allow you to set up custom GPT's - OpenAI allows setting custom, repeatable prompts ...but the writing is inconsistent - Both offer API's to take control of the processing. ....'playgrounds..' for experimentation - @DALL.E creates graphics more easily than Midjourney - Token limits capped article to circa 650 words. ....I wanted 1,500 - 2,000 - Work around to word limits ...Chain prompts...keep asking questions and build the answers - For creative writing,..., it too often sounds like it was written by AI. ...no matter how hard I schooled it - For content formatting it's superb AI reminds me of an absent minded professor, not a machine. ....It works brilliantly sometimes, but then seems to lose the plot in the next moment. I'm sure that there will be people out there better than me at AI. Let them share their wisdom. For me, when writing a book, AI is to be leant on but not relied on. I edited all 50 articles myself. To keep the authenticity and humanity. I used AI to collate and format lists to keep them neat and tidy. Any AI care to reply? Good news - you don’t have to wait . Vol 1 & 2 is now available.
