Book Description
This isn't just a book—it's a battle cry for the brave, a playbook for pioneers in a business world that eats the timid for breakfast. Here, you're invited to a feast of innovation, where mediocrity is off the menu, and boldness is the chef's special. Unleash the Power of Balls Out Marketing In today’s dog-eat-dog business scene, marketing’s either your rocket fuel or your anchor. Sadly, too many are still hanging onto outdated traditional marketing plays, leading to piss poor results. Everything is saturated, prices are skyrocketing, and the competition is brutal. The old school ways are dead. Shaking up your marketing game isn't just smart—it’s critical. The battle to be noticed is real, if you don’t step up, you’re done. So, What is Balls Out Marketing? It's not just a buzzword – it’s a philosophy, a mindset, and an attitude that encourages innovation, expansion and advancement. It harnesses your potential, pushing you to go beyond the boundaries of what you once considered possible. Everything is within reach if you’re brave enough to reach out and grab it. Think bigger. Way bigger. Now multiply that by 100,000. The Mindset According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 20% of small businesses fail in their first year. The failure rate increases to 30% by the second year, 50% by the fifth year, and 70% by the tenth year. One big reason that these businesses fail is a lack of understanding of marketing or piss poor marketing efforts in general. Unfortunately, most people’s approach to marketing is to look at what the competition is doing and to do the same exact thing. Running this type of half ass marketing campaign doesn’t work. Copying other people’s sites, ads, and promotions won’t give you the same success. That’s Not How It Works Marketing is not a one-shoe-fits-all operation. What works for one business likely will not work for another. It doesn’t work that way. This strategy is a waste of time and money. Every business has its unique characteristics, target audiences, and value propositions. Marketing strategies should be specifically tailored to highlight these distinct features and built around the needs of the targeted audience. Understand Your Customer Your marketing messages should deeply resonate with your target audience. This requires a deep understanding of your customers' needs. How your products or services can meet these needs? What problem can you solve? How can you help?A basic understanding of your customer isn't enough. Become your customer. Be Weird, Think Weird If you haven’t noticed, the marketing world is in the middle of a weird revolution. It’s no longer about playing by the rules; it’s about rewriting them or ditching them altogether. There are tons of unique new ways to reach customers. The conventional bs no longer works well. Come up with a unique strategy that revels in the odd, the peculiar, the downright bizarre. Go Big or Go Home Our approach promotes a mentality focused on boldness, execution and scale. It encourages boldness when others are timid. It’s about standing strong amidst adversity, ushering in a wave of determination that separates you from the rest. When the crowd is fearful, choose to be fearless, embracing the challenges that come your way, and use them as stepping stones for growth. Your business must grow to succeed. Growth is key!

When Forrest shows Tess’s dioramas to his mother, who owns a top Toronto art gallery, she agrees to sell Tess’s work but her rules and restrictions stifle Tess’s creativity.

Book Description
It is in the seemingly ordinary moments of life where God does his greatest work. Go big or go home . . . so they say. But do you ever feel like no matter how big you go, you still haven’t gone big enough? Have you grown so frustrated with the pursuit of “go big” that “go home” is starting to look inviting? Going big all the time is not only a recipe for burnout—it’s not the way God works in your life. It’s time to break free from “go big or go home.” It’s time to invest in stamina, to cultivate endurance, to recognize the miraculous world of the ordinary, little things. Show the door to “go big or go home” thinking. Your ordinary life is miraculous. It’s time to go small—and keep on going.

Book Description
The compelling companion title to the much-lauded Just One Day follows Willem's transformative journey toward self-discovery and true love, by the author of If I Stay. Picking up where Just One Day ended, Just One Year tells Willem's side of the story. After spending an amazing day and night with Allyson in Paris that ends in separation, Willem and Allyson are both searching for one another. His story of their year of quiet longing and near misses is a perfect counterpoint to Allyson’s own as Willem undergoes a transformative journey, questioning his path, finding love, and ultimately, redefining himself. * “The complexity of Willem’s character, the twisting plot, and far-flung settings (including the Netherlands, Mexico, and India) create an alluring story that pushes beyond the realm of star-crossed romance.”— Publishers Weekly starred review “As much a travelogue as it is a romance, this novel will appeal to fans of the movie Before Sunrise or Maureen Johnson's 13 Little Blue Envelopes (HarperCollins, 2005).”—School Library Journal “As [Willem] becomes engaged personally and professionally, readers will find their interest quickening, right up to the satisfying denouement.”—Kirkus Reviews
