One of my superpowers is that I have decades of experience with a wide range of publishing and marketing systems. I have the tools to make a lot of things happen.
Your Complete End-To-End Marketing Solution could include some or all of the following implemented over time:
Books and Courses for sale or use as lead magnets.
Website, Social Media, and YouTube presence.
Blog, post, and video campaigns.
Email strategies and campaigns.
Speaking and podcasting (video and audio).
Online and in-person presentations and webinars.
Summits and Challenges.
Writing and Copywriting.
Publicity campaigns.
Print assets.
I can also assist you with business software, including Kartra, HighLevel, and StreamYard.
Share your audacious dream goals with me, and I’ll create a roadmap to help you achieve them.
I will then work with you to implement some or all of it on a done-with-you or done-for-you basis.
And can also be your chief cheerleader and advisor if you want to implement it yourself.
Over the decades, I have helped many people and companies achieve their project goals.
Often, it started with a request for help doing something I may not have done before. Many of the tools and skills I have now came from figuring out how to help people.
Past Adventures
Here are some of the adventures that came from saying yes.
Selling How to Coach Baseball to Kids VHS tapes and CDs.
Cancer Benefit Concerts.
Many websites across niches, including botanical gardens, choirs, concerts, theatre productions, bands, real estate investors, natural health companies, and dozens of my own projects.
Project Management stints during the Smoke and Mirrors Venture Capital boom of the last millennium. One took me to Hong Kong with a company that wanted to do online trading.
Some Technical Writing gigs.
Software development for a large consulting company and my own clients.
A singer in a band I was in was a PhD candidate for Applied Psychology. A request to help compile a BASIC program led to over twenty years of developing and supporting psychometric assessment systems for hiring and development. At one time, every person who applied to work at TELUS took a Values In Action assessment we designed for them. Ka Ching! Our most comprehensive system was a Management Assessment for senior managers and CEO candidates. The owners aged out and resisted succession, or we would still be running the service today.
Some quirky music videos with musicians I played with.
Videos for concerts, theatre productions, food recovery, urban farming, botanical gardens, family events, weddings, and much much more.
Sizzle reels for speakers.
Promotional and training videos on many topics.
Many online interviews with people who have interesting stories and offers.
A wide range of personal and family story productions.
Video interviews with pioneers of the Natural Health industry.
Comprehensive marketing, including landing pages, social media, blogging, and email.
Formatting and publishing books in print and other formats.
Online courses.
Live events such as concerts and coffeehouses.
At one choir concert, I engineered the sound, used three video cameras, and sang in the choir. I could control the mixer with my phone and popped out from time to time to check the balance.
I have a lot of skills and tools to enable implementation many different things.
I also can be an enabler of both good and bad habits:-)
As the driver for a group of students, I probably should of been telling the girls to not run through the big puddle.
Instead, I am in the puddle too!
Not growing up any time soon.
Shared Visions Unlimited Publishing
My main company focuses on helping people publish and market books, online courses, memberships, and story productions, often collaborating with Betty Withrow.
Betty is a writer, writing coach, and ghostwriter in Monterey County, California.
Sometime it seems like we are publishing a book a week. We encourage authors to consider creating courses and multimedia programs related to their books.
I teach and offer an approach to publishing called The Golden Publishing Sales Machine.
Almost all of the following projects started with someone, asking :
‘I want to do X, can you help?’
Many times I was able to help.
“How to Coach Baseball to Kids” video course for Rocket Norton.
Websites for various promotions and companies (hundreds). Many of those I inherited from people who stopped returning calls to my client or never completed the project.
Online assessment systems for Human Resources (decades, millions of dollars).
Driver for Rocket Norton’s Town Car Service. I am now once removed from every major actor from the last forty years).
Also once removed from most top musicians, copywriters, and marketers in the world.
Many theatre and concert promotions.
Cancer benefit concerts.
Art in the Garden and other arts events in North Vancouver.
Urban Farming projects.
Food Rescue projects, including video productions.
Capturing and publishing personal stories.
Video capture of events and keynote presentations.

Online Summits.
Music concerts where I helped organize, provided sound, did multi-track audio recordings, and recorded with multiple video cameras. Much of that is on my YouTube channel.

Everything is Figureoutable
Although I have done and learned a tremendous amount of things, I would make a LOT of money if I got paid for what I did not know.
I have joked that the name for that is Consulting.
My main superpower is that I am a Zen Master of search and can read and understand things quickly.
As Marie Forleo’s mother liked to say, Everything Is Figureoutable.
