The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference

Malcolm Gladwell

The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.

Think and Grow Rich, Original 1937 Classic Edition

Napoleon Hill

What genius lies asleep in your brain? This is the question asked of us by Napoleon Hill. Originally published in 1937, and selling more than 60 million copies worldwide, Hill's Think and Grow Rich is the classic motivational book. Inspired by Andrew Carnegie, Hill studied the work and lives of some of the most successful people of the Industrial Era including Ford, Wrigley, Eastman, Rockefeller, Edison, Woolworth, Burbank, Morgan, and Firestone as well as three United States Presidents. From his 20 plus years of research into the characteristics of what launched these individuals into greatness and wealth, Hill developed his 13 universal principles, meant to inspire any individual to a richer, fuller life. The true genius of his writing is the simple way in which he explains that wealth comes from seeing your goal in your mind and making it happen, no matter what.

The Wealth of Nations

Adam Smith

The foundation for all modern economic thought and political economy, "The Wealth of Nations" is the magnum opus of Scottish economist Adam Smith, who introduces the world to the very idea of economics and capitalism in the modern sense of the words. Smith details his argument in the following five books: Book I. Of the Causes of Improvement in the productive Power of Labour, Book II. Of the Nature, Accumulation, and Employment of Stock Introduction, Book III. Of the Different Progress of Opulence in Different Nations, Book IV. Of Systems of Political Economy, and Book V. Of the Revenue of the Sovereign or Commonwealth; which taken together form a giant leap forward in the field of economics. A product of the "Age of Enlightenment", "The Wealth of Nations" is a must read for all who wish to gain a better understanding of the principles upon which all modern capitalistic economies have been founded and the process of wealth creation that is engendered by those principles.

Getting to Yes: How to Negotiate Agreement Without Giving In

Roger Fisher

Getting to Yes is a straightorward, universally applicable method for negotiating personal and professional disputes without getting taken -- and without getting angry.

It offers a concise, step-by-step, proven strategy for coming to mutually acceptable agreements in every sort of conflict -- whether it involves parents and children, neighbors, bosses and employees, customers or corporations, tenants or diplomats. Based on the work of Harvard Negotiation Project, a group that deal continually with all levels of negotiations and conflict resolutions from domestic to business to international, Getting to Yes tells you how to:

  • Separate the people from the problem
  • Focus on interests, not positions
  • Work together to create opinions that will satisfy both parties
  • negotiate successfully with people who are more powerful, refuse to play by the rules, or resort to "dirty tricks"

The Ultimate SEO Machine - Search Engine Optimization Made Easy

Mario Brown

PRAISE:

-------------------

Wow! A very solid read addressing SEO topics and strategies. Mario has truly hit a home run here.

With a unique ability to simplify seemingly complex topics, Mario makes search engine optimization easy. He provides a thorough overview and strategy that both novice and expert search marketers can implement. "The Ultimate SEO Machine" covers on-page optimization and moves into both simple and advanced linking strategies.

For those of you who find SEO to be overly technical or even confusing, I highly recommend "The Ultimate SEO Machine".

Brian Anderson (CEO of Peachtree SEO)
Local Search Marketing Expert

-------------------

There are many so called experts that teach SEO theories, but truth be known and told, most DO NOT have a client base of real world customers. They simply pick up info here and there, re-write it, digest it and sell it as theirs.

Mario Brown has a real SEO agency, with real clients that are really satisfied.
How do I know he is the REAL DEAL?
Simply Google: SEO Miami
His website, [...] will be on the top 3 results (goes up and down depending on where you search from, your current location)

Can't fake real results!

In this book, he simply shares what works, no theories here.
A result driven book for result driven entrepreneurs.

Jerome Knyszewski
Local SEO Specialist (CEO of Metroranking)

------------------

I've followed Mario Brown for about a year. I'm in the Internet Marketing, SEO, Reputation Management business and am always looking for new approaches to help my clients stay at the top of the search engine rankings. Mario is always ahead of the game and, unlike many in his profession, he doesn't feel compelled to keep his techniques to himself. He shares his knowledge freely and unselfishly because he knows the pie is big enough for everyone who works hard.

The Ultimate SEO Machine is no different. It's Mario sharing what he knows without reservation. Sure, he'll make a buck or two from his sharing. But not nearly as much as he could if he kept it to a small circle of high-paying students in a mastermind/coaching group. This book is an act of generosity on Mario's part. It's a gift. Take advantage of it. If you're in this business, it's a reference that should be on your desk all the time. If you're a business owner just looking to raise your online profile and enhance your web presence - START HERE!

Thanks Mario.
David Perkins, author, Dear Austin - A Letter To My Son

------------------

I've known for quite some time that SEO was important for my own and others'websites but there was always something about SEO that for lack of a better term "scared me". Although I'm reminded many times a week about the importance of SEO by sellers of books, courses, webinars, etc. I ignored everything about SEO until I received an email from Mario telling me about his new book on SEO.

I've purchased other products from Mario so am well aware of his ability to make concepts, methods and processes simple to understand and apply. So based on my experience with Mario's products I purchased his THE ULTIMATE SEO MACHINE and am glad I did.

After reading the book I now understand how the following relate to SEO and how important they are to any website's performance.

- Spiders & Bots
- Algorithms
- Page Rank
- Keywords
- Coding & Content
- Link Building
- Social Media

Mario ...you did it again. THE ULTIMATE SEO MACHINE helped get me over my fears and insecurity about SEO and has enlightened and emboldened me. I now understand what I can do to make my own sites perform better and am confident that I could help others do the same.

THE ULTIMATE SEO MACHINE is great book and must buy!
5 stars from me.
