Harry Dent "Invest in Yourself" The new Marketing Paradigm

Harry Dent famed Economist said recently to “invest your money in yourself”, “Market yourself before the next crash”. This is the most brilliant statement of all. How do you sell yourself, your business, services or products if your customers don’t know who you are? The new media has been named web 2.0 or affectionately disruptive media. Disruptive Media is the use of social media to surround your competitor and convert their customers to your business. Why make new clients when your customer has the same client you want, so lure them away form them to you. We know there are businesses out there that have customers in your area. For example I was just speaking with a gas company. We know the customer is crossing the street to go to Chevron over Shell or vise versa. The prices are similar, both have stores so you can buy your favorite beverage, what would make them leave their brand and come to our brand. Easy, make it the best Brand (remember perception).

A brand that people cannot live without, a brand that everyone is using, essentially the “cool” brand., the brand that will make them cool if they use it or more importantly people see you using it. We saw this in high school where the “cool” kids sat at a certain table in the cafeteria. There are too many examples of this status structure, but I think all of you can conger up an example that you have personally experienced. If you take nothing away from this blog take this “people live vicariously through you” (thanks Joel Bauer for quoting me). This means that people envy what you got regardless of what they got (excuse the grammar). To sit at the table was cool regardless whether you liked the people or not—others saw you, and now envy comes into play.

So back to disruptive media, fact unless you have the only widget in the world and you are the only one selling it, you have a service, product or business people frequent. Fact people are frequenting your business either at your location or your competitor’s. Fact they are spending money on that business either at your location or your customers. Question: how do we get them from spending money here than over there? Answer: Disruptive Media-- through marketing, we make it imperative that they come to your business because if they don’t they will not be part of the cool crowd (essentially). Now this formula takes on many meaning and examples but still stand true. We do this service for junior executives, we do it for actresses we do it for sports professionals we do it naturally.

What is the difference between other marketing companies and mine? Actually very little, looking from the outside in. We know the same people, we dress the same, and we almost talk the same. The difference how we got to where we are; for example, I was a bodyguard starting at the age of 17 for some of our greatest stars, Dinah Shore, Farrah Fawcett, Jerry Garcia many. What is it about me that “attracted” that level of trust at a young age? I left that life and became a Chiropractor; I was an accredited physician at 2 Olympic games and have worked on some of the best athletes in the world. I have been a publicist and marketing professional since I was a young lad and marketed myself into the positions I have just described above. I was so good at marketing I was sought out to implement a social media presence for Farrah Fawcett.us before her death. We implemented a strategy that would get her truth out to the world and expose the people around her for what they were. It worked we were very successful.

Now the question, how do you get people to leave the other business for yours? The answer is get your name out there and make sure you are the cool kid everyone wants to be near. Us the social media, hire the media strategist, the publicist that will help you be that guy/gal everyone wants to be around. People want to be near the people that have the answer or appear they have an answer.

Can it be done? YES its done everyday, the eye glass store, the actress, the clothing store, everywhere in some way shape or form they implement this strategy. Do you really think that Lindsey Lohan just fell across a little boutique she liked and the paparazzi were there? No we (media strategists) staged it, now everyone goes to the boutique. Is it expensive maybe depending on your point of view? But how long do you want to wait for success to happen. How much does it cost to sit back, trudge along, working and working to make success a reality? How long do you want to watch your customer go to your competitor? When with less money in comparison, you can implement a strategy that will give you success overnight? This overnight success can be sustained for years getting your initial investment back as well as additional business that will grow logarithmically. My friend and blogger Sarah Robinson (www.escaping-mediocrity.com) talks about this everyday. Take the one step to change your life, even if is a pair of shoes you don’ usually wear to work. Its one step, and everyone can take that one step.

So to answer the question what makes us different that another group? HitmanPR does it on the 1st branded social media channel with Kelsey Grammer. We promote our customers on a format that millions of people frequent, insuring success and fame. What is fame, it is the thing people see in you and why they leave the service, business or product for yours. We put together a strategy that will take you from obscurity to fame. So live out loud, be famous…

Kelly Ripa #94 in Maxim Hot 100 posing in Icon Farrah Fawcett Fashion?

Kelly Rip of daytime TV Regis and Kelly fame was listed as #94 in the maxim hot 100 list of most beautiful women. Ms. Ripa decided for some unknown reason to strike the same pose that made Farrah Fawcett famous, blanket and all. Kelly, was wearing a purple bathing suit instead of the orange, (not red) one Farrah sported in a now iconic photo. Now what is most disturbing is that Kelly decided to strike the exact same pose as Farrah. I find this very insulting in many different ways and several conclusions come to mind, Kelly has a glorified view of her physique, she is believing her own press or Regis has finally driven her crazy. One thing is sure and to quote Llovd Benson, I knew Farrah Fawcett and you, Ms. Ripa are no Farrah Fawcett! I understand you are considered by most to be beautiful, however you do not have the “assets” Farrah Fawcett had, especially those that should have filled out the bathing suit. I think there are some things that just should not be copied, this being one of them. We could never, remake Katherine Hepburn’s pose, Lauren Bacall saying “just whistle”, and so many more that have become simply, iconic.

There will never be another Farrah; there are beautiful women that are illustrated so well in Maxim Magazine. The women in this magazine have shown their own personalities, strength, confidence and most of all their beauty. They are not trying to be someone else or compare themselves to someone else. They are not trying to use someone else to gain approval or credibility. The other 99 women are all beautiful, and most of all they appear by their photo to be very independent, which in my opinion makes them more beautiful. The only thing that this photo accomplished is it reminds us that there are no substitutes for the original.

Professional speaking, it was the responsibility of the publicist or the photographer to persuade Ms. Ripa from publishing these photos’ after they were shot. More to the point whomever devised this photo shoot with this set in mind should have had the common decency to throw it in the can with all the other “what were you thinking” ideas.

These photos are in very bad taste and in my opinion very disrespectful, not say pretty sad in comparison.

The Amazing Randy & Alana Stewart

">A few months ago, Alana Stewart in a desperate attempt to revive book sales contacted the Medium James Van Prague. He did is usual shtick and contacted Farrah, in the afterlife to speak with Alana. Interesting James, told Alana that Farrah asked if she still enjoyed the bracelet that she had given her as a present. Alana stated on air that she loved it very much to the delight of the studio audience. Now what was interesting is the bracelet that Farrah give Alana was sold on the day of her death on ebay. Now it was either another bracelet or James had not read my blog....

Kevin Smith, Southwest Airlines & Twitter A Ménage à Trois

As most of you have heard, Kevin Smith the very talented Actor, Director and Writer was “exited” from a Southwest flight because he was too “heavy”. Kevin Smith utilized twitter to shout his rage against Southwest for this transgression. What is now prime time news and now heralded by overweight people everywhere as a rallying cry to action against fat discrimination one thing was overlooked. That is when all these tweets began to fly from Kevin Smiths phone, Southwest Airlines answered. Yes Southwest Airlines, rather than sit ideally by letting these allegations stand, responded and said they would look into the issue and make it right.

Southwest the top of the airline food chain, has keep their place by taking a proactive modern approach to communication by answering back. Whether Southwest knew Kevin Smith’s media reach or not is immaterial, they answered. I have been teaching this strategy for a while now, answer the complaint whatever it is. Do not go gently in to this good night, answer with your opinion with fact. Stand up, and fight against the machine. Both parties in this fight have a point and used the new media to get their point across. Both have explained their position and now have allies on either side of the issue, talking, tweeting and blogging their position. This issue has brought to light not only the issue of obesity, but, most of all, this is great advertising for both Southwest Airlines and Kevin Smith. Someone once said, “there is no such thing as bad advertising as long as they are talking about me”. People that had no idea who this talented artist was are sure to know him now and may look at his work. Southwest airlines, has taken a stand and regardless of the outcome of this advertising has succeeded in keeping their name in the news for days without paying a dime in advertising. For those of you that do not think you have a voice in this world, or as my dear friend Sara Robinson of escaping-mediocrity.com sit up, and take control of your life, here is a solution. Tweet your words, your complaints, compliments, your thoughts, your feelings, your desires, and someone somewhere is listening.

Please read my recent guest blog post by Todd Creager, Marriage & Sex Therapist, about monogamy www.hitmanpr.com

Is Monogamy Too Much To Ask For in a Marriage? by Todd Creager

Tiger Woods had a squeaky clean image. He is tremendously talented and tremendously rich. He is married to a beautiful woman and has a great family. What would make him sabotage all that for one or more extramarital affairs? Some people say that it is just human nature to cheat; isn’t variety the spice of life? As a marriage and sex therapist practicing for quite a long time, I could tell you that I do believe that variety is the spice of life and that it probably is a natural human instinct to want to have sexual relationships with people other than one’s spouse. When you have a celebrity such as Tiger Woods, who is probably a constant object of desire for beautiful women, how could he resist this temptation? And look at the statistics; the latest one I read was that 60 % of men and 40% of women have some kind of extramarital affair in their lifetime. (Probably a rough estimate) So-back to the question that is the title of this blog- Is monogamy too much to ask for in a marriage?

NO!!! It is not too much to ask for in a marriage. However, there is a catch!

As I write about in my book, "The Long, Hot Marriage" we need to evolve beyond our ancestors (parents. grandparents, etc.) and learn the principles of creative monogamy. Creative monogamy involves:

1) Creating a strong emotional connection with our mate.

2) Being honest about our inevitable and natural ambivalence about being totally faithful.
The ideal is to treat our partner as our confidante even about matters that may push his or her insecurity buttons such as attraction to other members of the opposite sex.

3) Continually taking risks in and out of the bedroom with our partner and making sure that we don't slip into "deadening" roles and stuck patterns.

Creating a strong emotional connection involves taking the time to slow down and communicate with your partner. You need to develop the emotional muscle necessary to listen without being defensive as well as learn to express your feelings, thoughts and desires in a non-accusatory style that encourages your partner to listen. This takes practice and since we have had little or no role models for this skill, it is sometimes helpful to get a relationship therapist or coach to assist. An attitude of interest and curiosity towards your partner has to be cultivated.
Most if not all married people have ambivalence about being faithful. There is that part of us that wants to be loyal and make the marriage work. But it is totally natural to be attracted to members of the opposite sex . It is ridiculous to think that we could make ourselves not feel these feelings just like it would be just as ridiculous to not feel hungry after a full night’s sleep. Most partners try to hide these parts of themselves for fear of angering or hurting the spouse. This “hiding” actually increases the chance of infidelity since it starts to disrupt the emotional connection between the couple. When these more challenging conversations take place, it paves the way for increased acceptance of ALL of who you and your partner are.
If you are honest with yourself, any area of life that has been successful for you has been at least in part due to you risking in some way. Your marital life is no different. If you stay too long in your comfort zone, your relationship dries up. Dare to be different. Share another side of yourself. Try something new in the bedroom. Be playful and adventurous. Be willing to look silly. Don’t play it too safe. Be willing to get rejected by your spouse. Don’t protect yourself too much. Open your heart.
Marriage is not for the feint of heart. The couple needs to develop the emotional muscle to create a strong emotional bond. They need to courageously share all of who they are, not just the wonderful, loyal side but the sides that may evoke insecurity. Lastly, it takes courage to consistently risk in and out of the bedroom. Doing the three steps I outlined, makes marriage and faithfulness an exciting adventure. Of course, there are no guarantees when it comes to interpersonal relationships. However, if you build the kind of relationship that you could by doing what I am writing about, it will be far easier to say “No!” to an exciting impulse that could lead to infidelity. The kind of relationship you would be building as well as how you would feel about yourself and your mate, just wouldn’t be worth the risk.

Alana Contacts Farrah Through James Von Praagh

Alana Stewart has used James Van Praagh to contact Farrah Fawcett. In this segment, James Alana Stewart and medium James Van Praagh talk to ET about their other worldly experience in trying to reach Alana's best friend, Farrah Fawcett.

James states to Alana, "Farrah is right behind me, really really strong, and saying, 'Come on let's go," says James during their psychic session, and Alana replies, "That is so her, that is so her! That is so strange. Whenever she was impatient, she would sit like that and put her hand to her face and go, 'Come on, let's go.'"

"She said, 'Thank you for wearing my bracelet,'" says James, and Alana replies, "I'm wearing it right now! … She gave this to me for my birthday two years ago. … Oh my God!"

Now here is the interesting part, I reported in June that Alana was selling jewelery and other items through a 3rd party on ebay that Farrah had given her. Wasn't that bracelet the one Alana sold? If it is, then James is wrong, or Farrah can't see the bracelet she is wearing. If this is truly the case, maybe James can ask Farrah who took her journal and could they give it back to Red, the rightful owner.

To Further Farrah's Committment to Cancer Education

Sorry, everyone that I have been quiet for awhile alot has happened and I will be commenting on it in these upcoming posts. As a lot of you know, if you have been watching my face book page, Drasmiller, or my fan site Hitman Public Relations, I was at Blog World LV 2009 for some clients and interviews etc. I ran into an amazing person by the name of Meaghan Edelstein, she is the founder of Spirit Jump. She is a cancer survivor and has organized this group to send cards etc to people that have cancer. I know the impact your cards and letters meant to Farrah. Receiving support from people is uplifting, inspiring and gives the person strength in these hard times. This amazing woman is organizing everyone to send out inspiration to others by the way of a card or letter, or anything you desire. Its a kind thought and you never know the impact that these simple acts of kindness have on someone. I have attached the video of the interview I did with Meaghan at blog world. Please go to her site, facebook page (SpiritJump) and join her cause. Its the cost of a card and postage to uplift someones spirit and strength. So add someone to your Christmas or holiday list, its that easy. I look forward to you all letting me know the impact you have on others.
