Book Yourself Solid: The Fastest, Easiest, and Most Reliable System for Getting More Clients Than You Can Handle Even if You Hate Marketing and Selling
I have a desire to be a professional speaker and an author. As a result, I try to intentionally grow and learn as much as I can about that field. I am always looking for great books on how authors and speakers build their platforms as well as their businesses. Through the recommendation of Michael Hyatt via his blog, I heard about “Book Yourself Solid” by Michael Port. I’m so glad Michael recommended it.
As I was reading the book, I made a to-do list for myself based off everything Michael suggested. When I finished the book, I had over 110 action items to do. I will keep that to-do list forever as I not only build my own platform, but as I build the reputation and platform of any organization I work for or cause that I believe in.
If you’re into building brands and platforms and want an extremely practical book on how to get started today, pick this one up! I promise you won’t regret it!

That means 80 percent of my keep-in-touch marketing is based on giving away free content, opportunities, and resources that will help the people I serve, and 20 percent is made up of offers to purchase services, products, and programs that will also help the people I serve
