It’s now January, and rather than spend your time make resolutions that you may or may not keep, how about you resolve to do something different in 2015?

You are one idea away from being able to do anything you want, but you need to make the decision to do it.  I rarely hear bad business ideas, but to go from idea to execution is another matter, especially if you don’t have a plan.

Lucky for you I’m in the business of helping people develop a plan for success and I have a new tool to help you make a successful transition from glorified hobby to successful business. Are you tired of working hard, and not making any real money? Are you tired of killing yourself using social media daily and not seeing significant results? Well, then try something different in 2015. I have a proven system to build a successful business and a powerful social media brand.

Today my book, Become Your Own Boss in 12 Months, 2nd edition, is officially available to the public.

If you bought this book five years ago when it was first released, let me tell you why you need to get this new edition. I have all the keys to compete successfully online. If you are interested in crowdfunding…it’s in there. Do you want to know how to really develop a great website? It’s in there. How about learning to develop an effective content strategy? Or better yet, do you want to become a social media ninja like me? It’s all in this new edition, and I write about what you should be measuring in your business to make sure you are on the right track.

I want to light a fire under you to make this $12 investment today and here’s why.

Starting a business isn’t an overnight deal. It takes a ton of planning and forethought. And if you want to become a successful business in 2015, you need to get started right now! We’ve got so much to do: decide what you’ll sell, figure out your finances, work on your marketing…the list goes on and on.

Fortunately, I’ve laid out everything you need to do, month-by-month, in my book. So I’ve done my part. Now it’s up to you to read the book and put it into action.

You’re one of those people that needs incentive to get moving, eh? Not to worry. I’ve got you covered. For a limited time (and I really mean limited: you have 7 days left for these offers), you can get some major perks for buying my book. Click here to learn more.

For buying just one book you can get:

• One hour teleconference with Melinda Emerson

If you want to buy more books for friends, I’ve got other incentive packages for you.
