The Boss of You

The folks at Stu­dio Four with Fanny Kiefer gra­ciously gave us their bless­ing to post the inter­view we did on Wednesday’s show. Ms. Kiefer is a stel­lar inter­viewer — she cov­ers a lot of ground and has a very strong grasp of the book. It was a huge plea­sure to be her guests.
The inter­view is […]

One of the women pro­filed in our book, Megan from Not Martha, will […]

We’ve had some excit­ing devel­op­ments around here, what with last week’s trav­els, and with The Boss of You going into its third print run already, after just a few weeks on the shelves. (It turns out that the rea­son book­stores may not have copies in stock is ’cause they’re sell­ing out. D’oh.) And on top […]

We’ve been on the road this week, vis­it­ing Seat­tle, New York, and DC, and all the trav­el­ling is giv­ing me a chance to catch up a lit­tle on my read­ing. I finally got a chance to pick up the copy of Venus Zine I bought a cou­ple of weeks ago, and was delighted to discover […]

Last week Claire over at Loobylu did a give­away con­test for our book, wherein she took inspi­ra­tion from the book and asked peo­ple to describe a meal that would reflect the per­son­al­ity of their busi­ness (or the busi­ness they dream of cre­at­ing). This kind of exer­cise is an exam­ple of the kinds of sug­ges­tions we […]

At last night’s event in Largo, MD (a sub­urb of Wash­ing­ton, DC), a ques­tion arose dur­ing the Q&A period: What do you do when peo­ple try to hag­gle with you about your prices? The gen­eral con­sen­sus among the pan­elists was that you shouldn’t budge; your prices are your prices, and in most cases, under­cut­ting yourself […]

Just wak­ing up and get­ting ready to check out of our hotel after our event at Bor­ders last night. We’ll write more about that later, but suf­fice it to say the woman who orga­nized it, Ken­netta is like some kind of author’s dream come true. Our entire visit here has been all about mak­ing sure […]

Tomor­row we will be vis­it­ing the U.S. cap­i­tal — it’s the first time for both of us, and we’re excited about it. We were invited to Wash­ing­ton, DC by a fab­u­lous woman named Ken­netta Wain­wright who orga­nizes a series of monthly events fea­tur­ing busi­ness authors and entre­pre­neurs in panel dis­cus­sions on var­i­ous top­ics. Our topic […]

Yesterday’s event at Elliott Bay Books was a lot of fun; amaz­ingly, about twenty peo­ple chose to show up despite the fact that the Pacific North­west was enjoy­ing its first day of gen­uine blue skies and hot sun­shine all year. I always make a point of stop­ping in at Elliott Bay when I’m in […]

Char­ity Vil­lage, which bills itself as “Canada’s super­site for the non­profit sec­tor” (and it really is — our friends & col­leagues in the non­profit world visit it on a daily basis), has posted a very kind review of The Boss of You. You may won­der why non­profit types would be inter­ested in a busi­ness book, […]
