#95 How To Write A Book With #1 Small Business Author, Andrew Griffiths.

9 Comments / Featured Interviews, Interviews /

It’s between you and your major competitor. You’re both submitting on a big tender that, if you win it, will set your business up for a good 12-months. You’re both comparable on price and service delivery, so there’s not much in it and the client is having a hard time deciding who to award the deal to. Then the client remembers the book you’d written (that you’d personally signed and given them instead of a business card) and BOOM you win!

A glorified business card is a great way to view having a book that helps market your business and win business.

Listen in as Andrew Griffiths, Australia’s #1 small business author explains why you should and how you can have a book to market your and grow your business.

#90 How To Create Killer Content With Small Business Author, Andrew Griffiths.

33 Comments / Featured Interviews, Interviews /

Andrew Griffiths is Australia’s #1 small business author, with 11 books published in over 50 countries. Yes, he’s prolific! His ability to create relevant, easy to understand and implement content laser-targeted at growing any small business is unmatched. He’s also an all round good guy.

My initial intention for interviewing Andrew was to discuss how a small business owner should and could go about writing a book as part of their overall marketing strategy. However, very early on in our chat, it became bleedingly obvious that quality time should be spent discussing the overall importance of creating useful, engaging content in all its forms – not just a book. So that’s what this interview is all about.

This is right up there with one of my favourite interviews. I hope you agree.
