<blockquote><p>I am already getting better at sharing my message with my target audience in a way that is meaningful for them. So, <strong>become a world class copy writer, communicator, and get my message in front of more people directly would be and is now my goal &ndash; write and write more. ~</strong><a href="http://coachingbusinessentrepreneur.com" target="_blank">Donna L. Ward, Business Coach <br />
	</a></p></blockquote>
<p>I think frequent blogging will help with this big goal! 🙂</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>I would write a book</strong>, create a dedicated website and blog about it and related topics, arrange a speaking tour, and also create a video and social media campaign surrounding the book and its topics. I would also explore some new media I haven&rsquo;t had a chance to yet, such as podcasting, audio, and related info products. ~ <a href="http://carriewriterblog.com" target="_blank">Carrie Jaffe-Pickett</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>First step, identify your topic, then outline your ideas and start writing. If you&#39;re a blogger, take a look at the content you&#39;ve already created and see how it can be adapted into chapters for the book.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If I could choose a method to get my art out to the world, <strong>I would create a video to show my unique techniques and how I express my own imagination through mixed media and collage art. </strong>Then I would advertise this video through social media, print advertising and target art organizations and galleries too. I would start classes in my home for beginning artists too. ~ Linda Harbin</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Video has never been easier to produce. Get an inexpensive <a href="http://http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001HSOFI2/dlwvirtualman-20" target="_blank">Flip HD video camera</a> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002HOQ08S/dlwvirtualman-20" target="_blank">Kodak Zi8</a> and start shooting. It doesn&#39;t have to be perfect or Hollywood studio quality in order to make an impact and get attention.</p>
<p><strong>How would you advise these winners to &quot;poke the box&quot; and make their projects a reality? </strong>Leave your comments below.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Go. Start. Initiate.</strong></p>
<p>Today I took myself out to lunch at my favorite <a href="http://www.originalthaila.com/" target="_blank">Thai restaurant</a>. I needed a break from my computer and took my Kindle because I just bought Seth Godin&#39;s new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B004J4XG0O/dlwvirtualman-20" target="_blank">Poke the Box</a>. While I savored my spicy noodles with chicken, I read about about 20% of the book (hard to know how many pages on a Kindle).</p>
<p>Godin&#39;s message is about being an initiator. About starting something. Ideas are a dime a dozen but those who actually start and initiate are few and far between.</p>
<p>When I finished my meal, I received a fortune cookie and laughed out loud&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://denisewakeman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/fortune-start.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" alt="Good fortune - start something new." class="size-medium wp-image-355" height="200" src="https://denisewakeman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/fortune-start-300x200.jpg" title="Start Something New" width="300" srcset="https://denisewakeman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/fortune-start-300x200.jpg 300w, https://denisewakeman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/fortune-start.jpg 320w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>I bought 5 copies of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B004J4XG0O/dlwvirtualman-20" target="_blank">Poke the Box</a> to share with clients and I&#39;ve decided to give away three of them now. <strong>Here&#39;s how you can enter to win a copy&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>In the comments below answer this question (adapted from Seth Godin):</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Imagine that the world had no middlemen, no publishers, no bosses, no HR folks, no one telling you what you couldn&#39;t do.</p>
<p><strong>If you lived in that world, what would you do to get your business in front of more people, get more visibility, so you can touch more lives and make a big difference in the world?</strong></p>
<p>Go. Do that.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Post your big idea in the comments and I will <a href="http://random.org" target="_blank">randomly choose</a> 3 winners to receive a copy of <a href="http://http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B004J4XG0O/dlwvirtualman-20" target="_blank">Poke the Box</a>, onFriday, March 11.</p>
<p>By declaring publicly what you will do, you are getting one step closer to making it happen. You may also attract the attention of someone who can help you or offer resources. And I really want to know what you&#39;re ready and willing to do to attract more business opportunities.</p>
<p><strong>Go</strong>. Don&#39;t wait or think you won&#39;t win. You never know unless you take the risk and put yourself out there.</p>
