Want to sell more books?

Have you written a book?

Is your book helpful, interesting and/or entertaining for someone who is starting or growing a small business?

Or is it a book written for someone who owns and/or works in a successful business but is not flourishing personally? (By not flourishing I mean the reader might look successful but he or she has a problem with alcohol and/or drugs, depression or other mood disorder, hates their job, relationship problems, is cynical and unhappy, and is just not able to personally accomplish what they intend to do.)

If so, send me or have your publisher send a review copy of your most recent book I'll read it and if I like it I'll announce you as one of the speakers at an IDEA Cafe, I'll write about your book and what you share at the IDEA Cafe you attend, and I'll an endorsement of you on Linked In, and on this website an others announcing you'll be my guest on The Startup Show. 

If your interested call me a week or so after the review copy of your book and the media kit are sent and we'll pencil in dates. 

Review copy and media kit best sent by you or your publisher via link posted here as private Facebook message or to John Wren, The Startup Show, Small Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc., 1881 Buchtel Blvd., Denver, CO 80210  

Call me any morning except Sunday at 9:30 a.m. to have the best chance of me picking up, or call any time (right now's ok) to leave a complete, 100% confidential (I'm the only one with the code to the voice mail box) voice mail message and I'll get back to you as quickly as possible. 

My phone number is (303)861-1447.

Starting a business in Colorado? Free online help from Colorado.

Online tutorial from the Colorado Secretary of State's Office, Starting a Business in Colorado. 
Use the Secretary of State's website to check and make sure the name you have chosen is not already in use.  To do this, go to the Business Database.  The tutorial also includes a link to this database. 

Google searches this past year on "build a website", "telemarketing", "public relations", compared to "recovery" (#1 most popular) and "coaching" which is #2 most used, compared to these other terms. What does this mean? Using the words coaching and recovery hits consumer hot buttons. We know what to do, we just aren't doing it, that the help we are looking for now. At least, that's what this trend analysis seems to be saying to me, what do you think?

What's next?

Big news on The Startup Show tomorrow, 4 to 5 pm see link here then, or see our Facebook Page now http://Facebook.com/SmallBizStartup

I've taken this week to ask God for direction, to see what's next in my decades long effort to strengthen the grassroots, the voice of the common person, in business and politics:

1) My non-political Small Business Chamber of Commerce and the effort to help local chambers start IDEA Cafe Startup Workshops and Franklin Circle Peer Advisory Groups, 2) the Colorado Political Committee ReferendumOrRecall.org.

A good friend told me long ago, "if you chase a rabbit you'll catch a rabbit, if you chase two rabbits you won't catch a rabbit. For years I've been trying to herd rabbits.

I hope you'll listen tomorrow (Mon, Apr 1) live via a link right here 4 to 5 pm, or to a tape of the show anytime after that here or on our Facebook Page http://Facebook.com/SmallBizStartup, where you can listen to a tape of last week's show with Doug Root (Tony Gallegos listened, emailed me "I really liked it.")
