That sucks, and that doesn't mean you can market a crappy product, but you have to be good at both to make it.

That idea with using Adwords to test the titles is genius. But most authors don't think about it probably because spending money for your book's title is not a logical thing to do. Fantastic.

You "own" the problem and ask the right questions to solve them. This really helps transfer knowledge in an engaging way. Leo – I like the way you ask the questions during your interview.

Like it or not, Tim Ferriss' book became a huge international phenomenon and I doubt many business people have not read it or heard about it. He did create a lot of discomfort and a number of people didn't agree with everything he said, but overall, he brought to light and important lesson for entrepreuneurs and it that learning how to manage your life and career is important. Basically, working 20 hours per day might get you money, but it won't get you a life and learning how to deleguate in order to get a life is so incredibly crucial. Miss Gisele B. Leo,
