Step Into The Spotlight! Book #1 in Hot New Releases Trumping Trump!
By tsufit on Apr 8, 2008 in Books, Branding, Creativity, Entrepreneurship, Humor, Inspiration, Marketing, Publicity, Success
Unbelievable what a bit of word of mouth can do.
(And yes, I do know it’s meaningless and I know I’m taking this WAY too seriously and I know bragging about some silly list is tacky, but for a girl with no toaster or microwave, this is exciting stuff!)
So, I got up in the middle of the night (actually early this morning) to go to the … well, I got up and snuck a peek at my computer at 1:55 am and couldn’t believe what I saw–
Step into the Spotlight! was Number 1 on Amazon’s Hot New Releases List (in a Motivation sub-category) above Donald Trump! See spotlight.pdf
It’s made two Amazon Business Bestseller Lists already, both in the Marketing Category and a Leadership category, but it seems to be consistently highest in– Motivation, still ahead of the O-ster.
(Note: It’s # 1157 in the main overall ranking, but out of hundreds of thousands of books, still nothing to sneeze at.)
I know this is totally because of you guys and I’m SO grateful. Please tell your friends about it and send ‘em to www.spotlightbook.com
Hopefully, by next week I’ll be blogging about more interesting stuff, but I don’t get out much… I’m gonna enjoy this ride.
Thanks to all the bloggers (especially the amazing Todd Andrlik, founder of The Power 150) and everyone else out there for helping me show Oprah and The Donald the power of the little guy.

PS Today is Step Into The Spotlight! Day in the US and Canada, so do something you wouldn’t normally do and see what happens.
Hi Tsufit
I bought your book yesterday at Chapters, and must say it’s a total delight. I read it during my commute, and today I found myself laughing so hard that people must have wondered what I had for breakfast!
You’ve hit on a key area of discovery for businesspeople. Yes – all business IS show business. I was in Toastmasters for years and was horrified at the number of boring business speakers at networking events. I felt like walking up to them and saying…”Hey! Wake Up – you need help!”
Can’t wait to read more of your book. Congrats on putting this all-important topic into print.

Howdy Tsufit!
Just bought your book the other day and was thoroughly enjoying it on a plane ride-which says a lot, because it really is harder to keep entertained on the plane.
Anyways, GREAT book. You have a wonderful sense of style and it did truly feel like you were “talking” to me.
Cheers,

Hi Tsufit,
You saved my job! I was contemplating quiting for quite a while since I was not happy at work – as one of the highest paid senior managers. I have been thinking that my client (my boss) is paying for my management skills and now I realize that he is actually after my operational and technological skills bailing the company out of trouble (They get themselves into trouble often). That’s MY product! Your book hit it home! Funny I heard and read so many time before, but you got through. Now that I know what my product is, I might even increase the price a bit and that might make me happy again.
I actually bought your book for ideas for my Ph. D. project. Who’d know it struck a cord here! Oh, your book is such a great read that I can’t fall asleep afterwards. Sleeping pills will be on you!
Thank you!

Jack,
Glad my book struck a chord. Sleeping pills are a small price to pay… Looking forward to hearing more of your success story as it unfolds.
