Rules!  Sometimes the word “rules” is abhorred by some, yet others live by “rules.”  “42 Rules for Driving Success with Books” by Mitchell Levy isn’t really a rule book, but a concise array of topics directed for authors as well as readers wanting tools for success. Levy explains:  Having a book as one of your creative assets must be given serious consideration in your next marketing planning meeting.  His bottom line is to bring in more business with amazing results, and one of the creative ways is to publish a book.

Each of the 42 rules comes from a different expert, e.g., Sharon Armstrong, founder of Sharon Armstrong and Associates and author of three books; Brad Dugdale, financial literacy expert and author of two books; Patrick Snow, international speaker and best selling author.  Also, each rule has a link to the expert’s website for further contact. Some of the topics covered are: Create a New Business from Writing a Book; The Power of Your Autograph, Farm Your Existing Network; The Press Sees You Differently.  The Sections include: Success; Growth; Credibility; Branding; Marketing.

This book is a keeper!  Every rule is concisely written and only takes one or two pages in the 133-page book.  Each topic is extremely valuable. The reader will be enthused to take the suggestions gleaned out of the actual success stories as well as the strategies, tools and techniques used by the expert and implement them. I highly recommend “42 Rules for Driving Success with Book” by Mitchell Levy as an essential resource and tool to accelerate your business to a higher level.
