I recently read Book Yourself Solid by Michael Port.  It’s a good read.  In fact, it’s a very good read.  I’ll probably buy the next book he writes.  There is already a follow-up book, but I’m not certain that it is all that different from Book Yourself Solid.

Book Yourself Solid is about generating more business for professionals, service providers and related businesses.  I’ve followed the lessons taught in Book Yourself Solid myself for some time.  Although there’s nothing revolutionary in this book, this author describes these tools and techniques in a clear and easy-to-follow method.  It’s worth buying and reading.

I then went to Book Yourself Solid website, as the book repeatedly encourages.  That was a little disappointing.  The website is one big sales pitch for other companies, books, services, authors, etc.  I felt constantly under pressure to buy something, which is the exact opposite feeling and atmosphere that the book teaches you to create in your customers.  That was ironic but still disappointing.

All in all, I recommend the book Book Yourself Solid but not the website.   There are other web-resources listed in the book.  Those other resources are worth exploring, but don’t bother going to the Book Yourself Solid website itself.  Stick to reading the book.
