 The Financial Freedom Formula E-Book
I’ve met more than a few “successful” business people who are not financially free.

They wonder if their money will last through retirement.

They work extra hours because they need the extra dough.

They worry they have to sacrifice one thing in their life to afford something else they want or need.

Many successful entrepreneurs have escaped from a J.O.B. but are not truly free.

I’ve read my share of articles, reports, and books on this topic. “The Financial Freedom Formula” by Penelope Jane Smith stands out as the first one I recommend.

It’s a quick read — just 15 pages — but it’s loaded with valuable insights to achieve financial freedom.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to rely on your business, a job, the government, a partner, or anyone else for money to money?

Read this e-book and you’ll discover

 How to earn passive income (separate from your business or job).

 A common mistake that leaves investors with huge money leaks (and how to plug the leaks quickly)

 3 keys to achieve financial freedom faster than you ever imagined.

…and more.

I know that sounds like hype. I understand if you’re skeptical.

But I don’t promote it if I haven’t read it and benefitted from it.

I consider myself financially savvy.

Yet I was blown away by how much I learned reading this itty-bitty e-book.

 Client Badassery Secrets
Last week, I recommended Kim Krause Schwalm’s great new book, Client Badassery Secrets, and I have to admit…

…I wish more people had clicked to buy it.

One subscriber told me they didn’t get the book because they’re not running a copywriting business.

I should have made this clear last week…

This is a great book for anyone who runs any kind of freelance or professional services business. It’s loaded with lessons about setting prices, negotiating contracts, and dealing with problem clients.

And if you ever hire copywriters or other service providers, you’ll learn plenty about how to handle things from the client side of the table.

 Overdeliver by Brian Kurtz
I’ve recommended this book before, and I’m thrilled to announce Ted Prodromou have chosen it as this month’s selection for the Mastermind Book Club.

This is simple: If you want to be a better marketer — and build a business the right way — you must read this book.

Then, join the Mastermind Book Club (it’s free) and attend our monthly meeting (Thursday, Oct. 26). Brian will join us for the discussion.

Speaking of Kim Krause Schwalm…

…She was a panelist earlier this month at Copy Chief Live in Nashville — an event featuring top marketers and copywriters from around the globe. I couldn’t attend because Melissa and I were hosting my classmates for our 40th high school reunion at the same time.
