Updates and News with Alan Forrest Smith. I have so much to share with you today I have no idea where to start. I'd just like to share with you if that's OK with you? If not delete me forever! What I do know is this... I have taken time out to think and regain myself at a much deeper level than ever before. I have discovered how to strip out the crap in my life, the myth, the trickery, the fakery and return to humanity. This will reflect in my relationships personal and business but ultimately if you follow me (I know one or two of you) do you are going to notices even more changes than usual. I know if you know me ... you won't be surprised! ==================================== The NEW Stuff From Alan Forrest Smith ===================================== 3 New Books >>>Book No1. Escape from Zoomanity which is almost complete. ( more at www.EscapefromZoomanity.com ) Escape from Zoomanity is all about you taking back control of your life. It's about you discovering your own humanity and creating the life you need to thrive. It's about freedom and excitement. It's about you! Story after story, lesson after lesson, Escape from Zoomanity is maybe the most revealing piece I have and will ever write. I am working on this as I write to you. Also I am being guided by the same editor and writing coach that worked with Tony Robbins, Bob Proctor, Mark Victor Hansen, Dan Poynter. She is incredible, the best! Ann is working on my next two books with me. =================================== >>> Book No.2 Life Resurrection (even more to come very soon on that) If you have been through devastation in your life and are not sure how to rebuild it ... this is a must read message. In 4 years I personally passed through, divorce, bankruptcy, losing my home, losing my family, losing my friends, losing my faith, betrayal of a lover and for a period of time losing my kids. People die from just one of those losses. I have not only survived them all but grown, discovered and expanded through them to create a wonderful life as an International speaker, author and traveler. Your life can be recovered, re-built and created in a way you might be thinking just isn't possible. This is a must read for a mankind in pain and loss. You'll hear more over the next few months. ============================================= >>> Book No.3 The Art of Power Positioning This is being co-authored with Jay Conrad Levinson, god father of guerrilla marketing. This is me getting back to my roots in business and will show you how to position your business into a position of power from zero, with no office, no staff and no Bentley or rolls Royce on the drive. I went from Landscape Gardener and new salon owner with no experience to Number one position in the town. I went from Hairdresser to globally acclaimed, No.1 copywriter in less than 18 months. This is a message that can literally take your current business, old or new into the stratosphere in 30 days or less. You'll hear more about this very soon. I'm heading over to Orlando very soon to complete ALL THREE books over a 6 day session. It's going to be hugely exciting. =========================================== Summer Trip And over the summer I had nearly 10 weeks out in California on a writing retreat alone while I completed my own resurrection to the stage I am now at. Next year I'll be doing more and living the life I need to be alive and thrive until my final day! More on the trips very soon! ========================= So as you can see I have been busy. I have just posted a new article on my main blog ... www.AlanForrestSmith.com and I also have shorter article now on my new blog at ... www.EscapefromZoomanity.com for you to read over. These small pieces take around 10 seconds to read abut hopefully will stay with you for a whole day. ============ Alan Live ============ This year I have taken a back seat from the stage especially 'sell-a-thons' deigned only to make the speakers rich. Of course like most people I want the cash but you'll know longer see me selling anything from stages. The reasons for me are simple. Stage selling is an art. It's the art of persuasion. The room is to be filled with the those looking for more. In my experience the majority don't need what speakers sell, the majority need to recover themselves and find service that will guide them. This is where the ART comes in. Selling to those using the masterful art of persuasion. I don't like it and won't be part of it any longer. All my future speaking events are to be based on four things. 1. Service 2. Ethics 3. Value 4. Truth My next speaking events will be my own only or as special guest or keynote speaker slot. A speaking tour is to be announced the week we launch my new book Escape From Zoomanity in New York 2011. (I will be having an Escape Party in Times Square... you are Invited ... More Soon) ================== Finally (for now) I have re-packaged and thought over Orange Beetle and also getting back to my roots as a premium consultant, strategist and ideas man. That's what I have always really been. The copywriter tag stuck from others and has always been there. Despite the fact I write copy (some say the best) it isn't really a true reflection of what I am about. The new Orange Beetle will be just that, new and back to my roots as a premium marketing thinker. The new site will be live in around 14 days time. That's about it right now although there are a long of things going on. ============= Finally I would like to encourage you or GIVE-COURAGE to you. Despite what you or your life or your business is going through right now, every single thing is changeable, it can all be changed. All it takes is a second, a split second. In that split second is the point where you realize and then move forward with change. Maybe you are not sure how to or where to go for change? That's fine. Change mostly comes to you but you must allow for change to flow through you. The problems are created when we feel the change and we stop it from taking place. I know pain, I have had it and suffered it so I understand. I also understand that your life is possible to be lived the way you need it to be lived. Being alive, thriving not just surviving any longer. Hold on tight with me. I can ramble on I know that but I have been on, am in and looking to continue a wonderful life experience that has overcome a lot of enforced and unexpected changes. Life has never been so exciting for me. I'd love to continue this journey with you as one of my readers. Stay around for more excitement and guidance for you and your life. I wish you the very best.
