QUOTES:

“Google your name. What is discovered? Like is there great content? Is there no content? And do that for your brand name as well. I think you’d be surprised…”

“It all revolves around controlling what someone would see on search in social media.”

“Look at the top competitor and your market because, in most instances, a top competitor is doing all they can to be as competitive as possible.”

“You need friends in media because you’re not paying for a press release and so there’s got to be a ‘what’s in it’ for the media company.”

“Most businesses and most business owners are wired this way— they’re wired to give but the hardest thing is articulating what you’re doing to the media or even getting a press release because no one wants to brag or boast.”

About the Author

As a newly single father of two from MI, he struggled to start over as a paint contractor in FL, going door to door. His situation was so bad, even the IRS had mercy on him.

 Feeling completely hopeless, he remembered the story of King Solomon praying for wisdom. Could it be so easy? 

He felt he had absolutely nothing to lose. So, as a bankrupt, divorced, high school dropout, single father of 2 young kids, now living 1250 miles away from all friends and family, started to pray for wisdom.
 And while he continues to wait for the wisdom to arrive, what did come was an insatiable desire to learn and read books… 
Thanks to God for giving him the burning passion to read books, and attend seminars, (oh and winning the wife lottery) he not only cracks the success code and overcomes the struggle, but also streamlines his painting business in less than 3 years, published a how to book, then sold the company. Now he leads a business coaching company for painting contractors so he can help other businesses, like yours, to do the same. Hear more... http://www.DYBCoach.com/01 Or JoinDYB.com
