Many entrepreneurs watch their bank accounts grow, but sacrifice too much in the process. Since 2001, wealth has taken on a whole new meaning. In this tell-all marketing guidebook, Lisa Nirell reveals a contemporary, contrarian, and field-tested view of marketing and planning. Successful growth and exit planning aren't about maximizing revenues or launching Internet marketing campaigns. Instead, they're about creating a compelling vision of the future, winning clients' hearts and minds, and defining the \"wealth quotient\" in a holistic way. This practical, real-world guide shows readers how to develop a strategic marketing plan that really works–and avoid the attitudes that sabotage great ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword by \u003ci\u003eGuy Kawasaki\u003c\/i\u003e xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlug In xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAccolades and Gratitude xxvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Running on Empty 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEver wonder why you're feeling drained—even though your company appears successful on the outside?
