This week I welcome to the show Bob Kelly of WordCrafters, Inc. Bob is a copywriter, ghostwriter, speech writer, book editor, author and speaker. He also owns what is surely one of the rarest and most extensive quotes collections in existence. His library includes more than 400 published volumes containing nearly 1.5 million quotes, plus thousands of other quotes collected from a wide variety of sources. Bob says that if you’ve ever wondered exactly what constitutes a quotation, and who decides what qualifies for that designation, the late scientist and science fiction writer, Isaac Asimov, came about as close to answering those questions as anyone he's found. In his Foreword to Isaac Asimov’s Book of Science and Nature Quotations (co-edited by Jason A. Shulman and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson, New York, in 1988), he wrote: “There are five billion people on Earth, and I should guess that at any given moment one or two billion of us are speaking. And I should further guess that virtually nothing anyo

This week our show will take a slightly different direction as I interview Cherry Norris. Cherry Norris, The Hollywood Dating Director, is a renowned relationship coach, seminar leader and popular speaker. She teaches you how to define your role, set the stage and speak your part for the romantic relationship you desire. Cherry is the ultimate expert on dating and relationships. Since she lives in Los Angeles (the entertainment capital of the world), she found that analogies to the movie industry provided the means for her to succeed in her unique role as “The Hollywood Dating Director.” “Like an actor preparing for a role on stage, I direct my clients to choose his or her role, determine the genre of their relationship, and establish their unique character,” says Norris. “Clients set the stage, rehearse dialogue and ‘improv’ difficult situations so when they go on dates, they feel confident, comfortable and sit back to ‘enjoy the show’ – for that’s what dating truly is.” Cherry has over fifteen years of expe

Fabled internet marketer Rosalind Gardner is somebody that I have followed around on the internet for many years. If anybody on the web can teach you how to enjoy financial freedom with an online business (or several!) it is Rosalind. Her story is a fascinating one in that she built her online businesses when there was no text, audio or video or audio-visual tutorials to show new webmasters how to do anything. But… and this is a BIG but — she saw the opportunity to make money online and was absolutely determined to quit her air traffic controller job (because of the lousy shift schedules), so she got to work and learned all she could. Her first month after starting her dating site, Sage-Hearts (now renamed 101.Date.com) she received a check for $10.99 which was all she needed to convince her that affiliate marketing did work and that she could master it. By the end of her first year in business she was clearing $5,000 a month and quit her day job in 2000 by which time she was making over $10,000. By 2003 Rosa
