Marna Friedman: Strategic Self Publishing

October 11, 2010 by admin

The Strategic Self-Publishing ConferenceÂ was created to help thought leaders and subject matter experts leverage their expertise through self-publishing. New technologies have made it possible to quickly and cost effectively produce professional publications that can be distributed through multiple channels. In the past, self-publishing was considered â€œvanityâ€ publishing, but that is no longer true. Today self-published books are available in bookstores, libraries and online distribution centers.

This Conference will help attendees better understand this process and how to develop strategies to help them leverage their books to enhance their businesses. We have developed the Conference Agenda to provide attendees with some hands-on knowledge and industry expertise so that they are better prepared for the journey.

Our Strategic Self Publishing package will be released at the conference and will retail for $147. This kit includes a binder that takes you through the steps of self-publishing, while our handbook provides you with questionnaires and checklists to help you strategize and understand your goals in self-publishing. The binder will also include a directory of self-publishing resources.

Financial Well-being is an Important Asset to One’s Healthy Lifestyle! Wayne Hanson Explains.

September 30, 2010 by admin

The crisis in personal financial management in these difficult times is exacerbated by the fact that many employees simply don’t have the training to meet the financial challenges that face them. A financially-well employee is better equipped to provide improved productivity, because they are not burdened by the worries and fears associated with personal money matters.

Wayne Hanson is an HR professional with over 30 years experience. During that time, he witnessed many questionable decisions by employees regarding their benefit and pension plans. We discussed with Wayne what it takes to make sure that an employee is a good company asset rather than a liability. Mr. Hanson also revealed how the adoption of personal finance programs will not only improve productivity; but also increase company goodwill and serve as a strong recruitment and retention tool.
