Entrepreneurial You - New Rules for Thriving Today from Dorie Clark
“It’s the dirty secret of today's entrepreneurial economy: being excellent, and even being well known and respected in your field, isn't enough.” - Dorie Clark in Entrepreneurial You
We live in a world that is changing rapidly and we can’t depend on what worked before to work again. There’s an old saying, “If you keep on doing what you’ve already done, you’ll keep on getting what you’ve already got.” I remember hearing this and thinking it was true at one time.
However, today that saying is out of date. If you keep on doing what got you to the level of success you enjoy now, in a world that is changing rapidly, you will fall further and further behind. Successful people adapt and change with new environmental signals. What worked before to get you to the level of success you know now, probably will not get you to the future.
So, what are we to do? In the book Entrepreneurial You by Dorie, Clark she talks about what is working today based on her interview with many successful entrepreneurs and business leaders. Recently I had the opportunity to talk with her about what is working in today’s marketing.
Dorie Clark is the author of two other New York Times best-sellers. She is a contributing writer for Harvard Business Review, Huffington Post, Forbes magazine and many others. She is a marketing coach and consulting.
In this fun, information-rich, and highly educational interview she shares what is working today and what you can do to succeed. I love it and have gone back to listen to the interview myself several times.
It is that good!
Please leave your comments as I eagerly look forward to hearing from you. Also, if you appreciate this, please upvote and resteem this so I’ll know that you like it and others can benefit from it.

Entrepreneurial You is a roadmap to become successful at what ever Enterprise you may be considering. The author offers quite a few examples of other successful entrepreneur's and how they accomplished their success.
Thank you, @kouba01. It sounds like you might have read the book already. Have you? It really is good and packed with great ideas. I loved it.
Well written, Terry (still listening to the interview at this moment)! I can really see how, for example, the art world is changing and what kind of person can become a successful artist (lately less and less artist know how to create something in their media, they usually have somebody else for that). So it has nothing to do with how good you know the craft anymore...
You are absolutely right, @fukako. You have some great art work. I love what you're doing. At the same time it is imperative that you have the right marketing and more. With what you're doing you can create those multiple income streams. You're brilliant! Really! Speaking all the languages you do is amazing. You can take that ability, couple it with the power of video (so appropriate for art!) and create a lot of good for the world and generate income for you. Keep up the good work you're doing. Я горжусь тобой и желаю тебе всего наилучшего. - Terry
Thank you, @terrybrock! Marketing might be a huge missing piece. I often find the concepts of marketing and self-promotion too time consuming (probably because I'm not very good at it yet), and, perhaps because of my heritage, uncomfortable at times. Have you ever noticed it while dealing with Russians?
I've seen a little of it, however, I have to admit to a strong bias I have in favor of the Russian people. You have a rich heritage from Tolstoy, Chekov, Stravinsky, and so many others. Yes, marketing is critical not only in business, but in everyday life. It is about helping and if it is framed that way, it takes on a whole different approach.
Keep up the good work you're doing. I'm very proud of you and your work and look forward to seeing much more good coming from you and TO you as well! Nazdarovia!
This sounds like a great interview ! I will check it out as soon as I get a minute ! Upped! And resteemed
You are going to love this, @karenmckersie. I look forward to hearing your reactions when you have a chance to watch it. All the best to you and thank you for stopping by.
