Want to Sell More?

June 18, 2009 by Jonathan Fields · 3 Comments 

Last night, I was in a room full of social media mavens and moguls…

And, I was asked what my top book recommendations were for marketing, selling and writing compelling copy. So, I reached deep down hoping to come up with the coolest, newest, hippest, most cutting edge recommendations…but instead, I started offering up titles that ranged from 20 to 80 years old.

What gives? Simple answer. Times change, circumstances change, marketing and distribution channels change, products, services and technologies change. But, human nature has remained largely unchanged for as long as history has been recorded. And, in the end, solving, selling and marketing are fundamentally about understanding human nature, not bells and whistles.

On Conventional Wisdom [book excerpt]

April 2, 2009 by Jonathan Fields · 3 Comments 

Sharing a thought on the role of conventional wisdom from Chapter 3 of Career Renegade:

For the Career Renegade, conventional wisdom is actually a great asset. It thins the herd of competitors, leaving only those who choose to blaze their own path, rather than follow another’s. It creates space for those who lead with passion to truly shine.

Your first challenge is to understand this, to see conventional wisdom as simply the first of many tests, the collective presumptions of other people who have not been able to succeed in their own quests. Or, even more likely, a reflection of an unwillingness to ever try. Know this, accept it. Then resolve to move beyond it.

Thinking About Balance In A Hidden Bronx Forest [video]

Hey guys,

I just posted this over at Jonathan FIelds | Awake @ The Wheel and thought Id share it here, too. It’s done on a Flip Ultra video camera, one-cut, no edits and it’s done in a style I like to call…”ghetto natural.”

The topic, by the way, is the notion of balance (which is kinda funny, because I almost trip numerous times while filming). Enjoy!
