018: Interview with David Villa
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing David Villa, author and founder/CEO of IPD Marketing Solutions, to discuss author branding and growth.
- Why David wrote his bestselling book, Lead or Be Lunch
- Where branding is REALLY established (it isn't simply a logo; in fact, your logo is the least of your concerns!)
- The difference between being self-focused and "peripherally focused" when it comes to selling books
- How you can manage being a one-person show while working toward being a multi-person show
- The importance of knowing your lane and hiring/partnering with people who are WAY BETTER than you are
- David's suggestions on how to comfortably sell your books (for people who hate the idea of selling)
- Why it's critical that the cart and horse are put in proper order with regard to writing a book
- David's #1 rule for authors to successfully sell their book
- The one thing entrepreneurs get wrong and overlook when it comes to branding themselves
- The question David HATES being asked (and the answer, which counters what the "experts" say)
- What the concept of branding starts with, before a customer buys tools or products and before a brand even has a social media presence)
- The biggest mistake people make by going full-on toward a goal without thinking it through
- David's skyscraper analogy for building a successful and sustainable braind
- The gap between wanting the dream and being willing to do the work
- The non-negotiable step when it comes to marketing an even mildly successful brand
- Who David studies and what he's learned from them that has deeply impacted his business (and can impact yours as well)
