Books for Small Businesses; Great “Business Cards”

The “Hold Up”.
Long before Entrepreneurial Insanity was officially published, I had s few dozen copies printed up to use mainly for a “hold up” gig I did at the Anaheim Convention Center.  I gave a relatively short (one hour) presentation for the Craft and Hobby Association at their annual convention.  If you are going to be a speaker, people will listen better if you have a book with your name on it to “hold up”.  I did, and, I believe, a few people listened.  A few more wanted to buy a copy. (Couldn’t resist the temptation — can you?).

   Your blog post about this topic is comfort and inspiration with me. A friend once explained about some of the tips you share nevertheless I thought it was not appropriate because I had some other opinion which had remained with me for years. Making use of your article, I today know John was right. I think I should send him a letter immediately. Probably add your website link likewise. He too would need to know more of the things I have learned from your post. Thanks
