What does Al Franken know about viral marketing?

Reaching beyond his home state of Minnesota into the hearts of Americans and beyond, Franken has hoisted himself into the spotlight not by promoting a new book with a controversial title but by using politics as his platform.

Yes, he won the Senate race in Minnesota – it is official. And no it doesn’t matter, that it was far from a landslide.

This is the man who wrote the book

Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat
Idiot.

The title of his book speaks volumes about his frank way of communicating.

Franken obviously doesn’t feel compelled to sensor his thoughts. And this is most likely why voters wanted him in office. Refreshing honesty. Who cares about being politically correct?

If one lives in a way that he is not afraid of gathering enemies…he is probably doing something right. This what people who want to embrace the full power of viral marketing need to understand – be bold, and lighten up. You go Al!

Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small you are in essence ignoring the owner’s manual your creator gave you and destroying your design.

What Oprah is  so eloquently talking about is your personal brand.  The idea is to first know who you are, then know who you are targeting. When you are clear on these steps it will be easier (and more fun) to move forward.

The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs…. One step at a time.

There really are no shortcuts to success. And the older I get, I really appreciate this, because when success does come – whether it’s a new client from the other side of the world, a book I wrote with my partner, or the completion of our fourteenth website – I can smile knowing not too many people would have bothered.
