Kudos for Get Ready!

I just finished reading Get Ready! and … I’m blown away! I can’t begin to count how many of these types of books I’ve read, and this is among the best. I love the different fonts, the icons, and the readability. It is coincidentally (I'm sure it’s not a coincidence) the perfect size and just the right number of pages. Get Ready! proves you know marketing so much that you can teach it. The irony is that you’re giving tips to would-be competitors or discouraging prospects to call because they got it for 29.00—but in reality, doling out these pearls of wisdom drives people to you. This is a terrific page-turner of a book.

With everything on my plate, it’s impossible to market my company. And to be honest, I wouldn’t know where to begin—until now, that is. This easy-to-follow book doesn’t burden you with complicated processes or marketing theories. It’s a down-and-dirty guide, written for time-starved small-business owners like me. Plus, I love the DIY component, which has helped me get to know my business in ways I’d never even considered before.
— Jack Fernandez, Sage General Contracting

Although a small-business owner for years, reading Get Ready! got me excited and moving on stepping up my own marketing initiatives. Unlike many "how-to" books, the friendly voice and empathetic charm of this quick read—peppered with "laugh-out-loud" moments we can all relate to—totally did its job. I am ready to start smarter marketing.

Get Ready! is a fantastic resource for any small-business owner. For many of us, developing a solid marketing plan can seem like a monumental task, and it's so hard to find the time when you have a business to run. Now there’s no reason to procrastinate. This book breaks the subject down into small steps that are easy to follow and understand. It actually makes the task of marketing fun and will have you looking at your business in a whole different light.
— Barbara Lane, artist, author, and photographer

Get Ready! gives business owners the tools and knowledge they need to create a complete marketing plan. My favorite parts of the book are the “Spotlight” sections, which are easy to follow and thought provoking. By the time you’re finished you’ll be asking yourself, “Why hadn’t I read this sooner?” A must-read for anyone trying to grow his or her business.
