My first of several goals is to raise $50,000 by December 31, 2010 to pay off the balance of debts I incurred when I was forbidden (harassed and threatened) to write, consult, publish books, teach, appear in the media, own a web site, or earn a living by the association board of directors and property manager for the condo unit I owned. (When I moved in I was starting over and debt-free.)

Essentially, the neighbors I voted for to act in my best interests denied me multiple rights and freedoms guaranteed by Canada's constitution. (My story will be detailed in my book, The Kindness Experiment.)

Once I have rebuilt a nest egg for my golden years, I will then build a nonprofit foundation to assist other writers who also have been denied the right to speak, write or publish.

One step at a time.

I welcome your support in these ways.

1. Invite me to speak to your group, conference, meeting, or class on any of my lecture/seminar topics.

2. Retain me to write a persuasive letter that will recover reputation, money or property that is rightfully yours that was removed, denied, stolen or swindled from you.

3. Retain me as your Undercover Client-Patient-Guest-Customer to tell you what your patients, clients, guests, association members won't tell you but wish they could. (Appropriate for physicians, lawyers, dentists, chiropractors, veterinarians, realtors, landlords, etc.)

4. Offer me a paying assignment to write a column for your magazine on how not to work against your own best interests.

5. Ask me to write a regular (paid) column for your newspaper on how not to work against your own best interests.

6. Invite me to host a call-in radio advice show on how not to work against your own best interests.

7. Pay me what you still owe me (plus interest) when/before you receive my invoice.

I'm still doing research for my next book, The Kindness Experiment, which is a rare opportunity to show yourself publicly as a Good Samaritan or HERO.

I've been testing people for 13 years in various situations. Sadly, many choose to be villains even after receiving a second chance to redeem themselves.

Will you choose kindness over mean-spiritedness, and generosity over greed?

Or will you do what many choose to do....work against their own best interests?

Remember: It's all material for my next book, The Kindness Experiment.

FYI, As of August 30, 2010....

1. I'm no longer... Conducting marketing, positioning, and visibility campaigns for authors, speakers, experts, consultants. Instead I will teach you what I did so you can do it successfully for yourself.

2. I'm no longer... Negotiating book, speaking and syndication contracts for speakers, columnists, authors and consultants. Instead, I will advise you on how to negotiate successfully for yourself.

3. I'm no longer... Editing and proofreading books for other authors.

4. I'm no longer... Representing speakers in the capacity of an agent.

5. I'm no longer....Providing professional voices on radio and TV commercials and training programs without a written contract signed in advance.

6. I'm no longer... Offering unpaid services as a professional home economist: estate caretaking, house-sitting, pet-sitting, home maintenance, home staging, painting, de-cluttering, organizing.

7. I'm no longer... Accepting telephone inquiries without an appointment from speakers, experts and authors who are looking for free marketing advice or no-fee campaigns. Instead, I encourage you to arrange a one-time, prepaid, phone consultation in which you are welcome to pick my brain in 20 minute increments.

12 ways to “Empire-ize” your one-person consulting, medical or law practice

A feisty marketing/PR expert with 30 years practice under her belt is on a mission to raise $170,000 (net) using the “advice empire-building” methods in her own book…and invites other empire-builders to follow her lead and become a member of her "Dream Team."

In addition to receiving her new book, Your Wisdom is Worth a Million: 150 Ways to Empire-ize Your One-Person Consulting, Medical or Law Practice, buyers will also receive membership to a private, advice-marketing forum. All for US $89 a year (the price of ten pizzas; but please, don’t send pizzas).

“I’m chomping at the bit to support other experts in increasing their revenues and transforming their practices into multi-media empires, says Andrea Reynolds. “For safety and other reasons probably related to envy more than anything else, I’ve been unable to appear in public for the past 10 years. Now, all I want to do is hit the road and meet with anyone with a hunger to share their passion or their expertise with others… and get paid for it. I’m so passionate about this that when I can sell 2,000 of my books I’ll give my condo away. Seriously, that may sound crazy, but it will allow me to get on the road.”

4 Benefits Patrons will enjoy for a year for $89:
1. A copy of the E-book of 150 tips and case studies worth no less than $4,000 in private consults.
2. Admission to a private marketing discussion forum for one year for support.
3. Their name, expertise and web site listed inside the e-book as Patron.

12 of Andrea Reynolds contrarian principles for advice-givers, excerpted from her forthcoming book, Your Wisdom is Worth a Million:

1. Do the one thing you absolutely love and charge for it.
2. Ignore the dream-killers around you.
3. Promote your own name rather than a company name.
4. Position yourself as the leader in your niche, not a follower or an also-ran.
5. Narrow your niche even more or create a new niche if necessary.
6. Multiply yourself by offering your specialized knowledge in a variety of formats.
7. Attract people to you, rather than "knocking on doors" to get clients.
8. Avoid obvious paid advertising.
9. Avoid working for free.
10. Get paid to promote yourself.
11. Do fun things that just happen to be newsworthy.
12. Be a memorable person: a contrarian, a maverick, a pioneer, a rebel.
