What inspired you to author this book?
I am very passionate about B2B marketing and assisting people in avoiding the mistakes I made while creating my own businesses. There are solutions to resolve problems in front of us but we choose to keep trying the same old tactics which will never work.

Where did you get the inspiration for your book’s cover?
The yellow arrow,
which is part of the “Revenue Zone” system, is actually my idea of a path to
success as defined in my book called “The Yellow Brick Road.”
Who
has been the most significant influence on you personally and as a writer?
My wife Lorin.
What
were the struggles or obstacles you had to overcome to get this book written?
A book requires time.
You need to first write and then figure out the copywriting / editing/
publishing aspect, which is many moving parts. There are many technical
details that go into creating a book and I did not want to use a conventional
publisher. This needs to be done in connection with building a website,
uploading it to Amazon, finding a narrator for the audio version, and finally
creating a promotion strategy that is not a one-time event. An outreach
strategy must be planned for 6 months before the launch and 12 months after the
launch. There are many creative parts that go into publishing a book and it’s
not for the fainthearted.

Virtual business, privacy laws, and radical changes in the buyer journey have
changed the rules of sales and marketing forever.
