Gary Edwards, Internationally Renowned Photographer In Marbella, Highlights The Importance Of Real Estate Photography By Ricardo Bache Based in Marbella, Gary Edwards is a British born photographer whose career in photography spans over 25 years. His clientele includes a plethora of international companies. When he is not globe-trotting on travel and event assignments, the talented photographer spends his working days shooting luxury villas, hotels, beach clubs, and on assignments for clients such as Engel & Völkers, Elite Estates Marbella, Altavista
Properties and Villarroel Architects in the vicinity of Marbella. While the popular maxim, “Location, location, location” is fundamental, the new mantra of savvy realtors is “Photography, photography, photography” as high quality imagery is a proven factor in encouraging and clinching a sale, and even commanding considerably higher pricing, says Gary Edwards. Luxury Real Estate Photography Proves Effective “Good photography is listed as second only to accurate pricing as the top tip when selling a property,” affirms Gary. Effectively, according to studies in the US, high quality real estate imagery is proven to generate more interest among buyers – attracting 60% more viewers to the property. Studies have shown that good images also help vendors clinch better deals for their properties, and importantly, can help up the price of properties by hundreds of thousands of dollars. “High quality photography is also known to sell property more swiftly too,” says Edwards. “With dozens of agents in competition for the best listings, good photography lets your clients know that your company goes the extra mile. Whether it’s a multi-million dollar villa, or an apartment for 100,000, you need to market it with TLC,” remarks Edwards. When it comes to branding your company, you can’t afford to have anything with your name on it that is not top of the range. “It’s the same for the photographer,” affirms Gary Edwards. “Whether it is a stately home or a simple apartment, for the sake of your reputation, every shoot has to be the best you can do.” Choosing A Professional Property Photographer – No Substitute for Experience “An estate agent’s client needs to know that for their primary listings, they are using only the best photography from the best photographers. This works for their credibility,” remarks Gary. It is advantageous to employ the services of the same photographer in order to create consistency in style and mood in the images on view. Similarly, it is vitally important to send a tried and tested photographer to shoot multi-million pound properties. It is a matter of trust, discretion and confidentiality. Image Led Property Marketing – One Chance to Make a First Impression “Even when budgets are limited or reduced, the most professional companies don’t stint on their annual photography requirements, as they realize that good images sell their products and services, and form the key to good marketing,” comments Gary. With image-led social media platforms such as Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram, businesses simply can’t afford to present substandard photographs to the world. Companies are engaging so much more directly with their customers and need to have appropriate images to convey messages that will set them apart from their competition. “Not only do the statistics prove that photography sells properties, when Click here to read more… Source:: http://smallbusinesstrendsetters.com/gary-edwards-internationally-renowned-photographer-in-

International Best Seller Christine Love Launches Done-For-You Strategic Author Marketing Program For Small Business Owners “Small Business Owners have been looking for a reliable way to gain influence, credibility and expert status so they can have greater relevance within their communities,” said Christine Love, No 1 International Bestseller of the book, Strategic Author Marketing. As a result of Love’s desire to meet the needs of her busy clientele, she developed a Done-For-You Strategic Author Marketing Program which is designed to take any business owner from idea to being a published author in less than 90-days. According to Love, the biggest challenge business owners have to overcome is the lack of belief in their qualifications to write a book. However, with this new done-for-you option, all writing has been eliminated from the book publishing process. A telephone interview replaces the traditional author creation process by getting the book content out of the business owners head and onto an audio recording that will become the published book. In order to qualify for this new program, the applicants must have a working knowledge of their industry. According to Love, competence cannot be faked so even though the applicant doesn’t have to write their book, they must be able to speak intelligently about their industry. Being a published author allows the business owner to re-define their business in a way that serves the highest needs of their clients while establishing expert status, influence and credibility for the business owner. Love calls this, “Strategic Author Marketing.”
According to Love, the foundation of most business difficulties is the lack of strategy established before any tactical marketing process is executed. Strategy development is one of the very first steps of the done-for-you authorship process so the business owner’s book is founded upon a strategy that can be integrated into every marketing channel. Ultimately, marketing any business as a strategic author positions the small business owner to operate from a level of authority that may not be achieved with any other marketing vehicle. For the first time in history, the average entrepreneur, professional and small business owner can become a published author in as little as 90-days. This opens the door for new marketing opportunities that were previously reserved for the rich and famous. As a published author, business owners are in a unique position to separate themselves from their competition, elevate their status within their community and eliminate price resistance because they are positioned correctly in the marketplace. This unique advantage gives the business owner a sense of freedom because they no longer have to operate by the same standards as their competition. Currently, only buyers of The Strategic Author Marketing book qualify to participate in the done-for-you authorship program. However, Love states, she will be extending the program to all small business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals worldwide before the new year.

Chad Collins Adds Social Media Community to Teen Counseling and Mentoring Program Chad T. Collins was recently interviewed on the subject of counseling and mentoring teenaged boys. Chad reveals one unique element of his program in the interview, a new social media ‘Frat House’, where teenage boys can meet and provide mutual support as they work through their problems. Chad’s counseling program is a direct result of taking his passion for training from the boardroom to the schoolroom. As a high school teacher, he gets a close look at what is bothering the students. “I help teenage dudes get an all-around better attitude and outlook on life through personal expansion and growth,” says Chad. He and the students he counsels focus on “the four core areas of life that will be most important to them. These are family, faith, finance, and fitness.” His focus is on helping teen high school boys. “I take them through a journey of self-discovery, put a new lens on things, and give them the tools, mindset and outlook on life that will forever change them,” says Chad. His students can “apply these each day to their life and able to achieve a better success and outcome.” He limits his counseling and mentoring to boy and an occasional father. “Having once been one myself, I know all the struggles and what it was like and what type of issues that you go through,” he said. The program Chad has developed, the Brofist 90 Day Challenge, takes them through an awakening process. He says, “They take an honest look at themselves, but they must be willing first to make the changes that support their goals.” Accountability is a key factor in the program. Setting and meeting goals teaches the students to complete what they start, and Chad says, “Those are goals we come up with together. That’s where the coaching piece meets up with accountability.” The Challenge exposes the boys to new ideas and concepts. “They need,” said Chad, “to be able to try on new ideas, just like you might try on new clothes.” The new ideas may come directly from Chad, or they may come from students who have already gone through the program. Creating a safe social environment where “they’re not in it alone”, says Chad, helps them develop new ideas and skills as they “become responsible for their thoughts.” Chad also extends the offer of help to the occasional father. Many times the parents are frustrated as the students he counsels. The parents realize, says Chad, “That all of these threats, all the punishments, and all this anger – it is just not working. That’s when they realize they might need a coach to be there to help give them guidance.” “I will work specifically with the dads and take them from an ‘everyday dad’ to the ‘daddy on fire’,” Chad says that he doesn’t work well with moms because he lacks their perspective. He says, “(the father-Son relationship) is what I know, that’s what I do on a day in and day out basis, and what I’ve done since I began Click here to read more… Source:: http://authoritypresswire.com/chad-collins-adds-social-media-community-to-teen-counseling-andmentoring-program/

An Interview With Chad T. Collins – Teen Coach And Mentor By lcwwealth@yahoo.com Today, we’re catching up with Chad Collins, a very interesting person who has taken his passion for training from the boardroom to the schoolroom and is now expanding it to help more people on the Internet. He’s a teen coach and mentor teaching kids the skills they need to succeed in life. SBT: Chad, can you tell me a little bit about what you’re doing? Chad: What I do is I help teenage dudes get an all-around better attitude and outlook on life through personal expansion and growth, through what I’ve called the four core areas of life that will be most important to them. These revolve around family, faith, finance, and fitness. I take them through a journey of selfdiscovery, put a new lens on things, and give them the tools, mindset and outlook on life that will forever change them. They will apply these each day to their life and able to achieve a better success and outcome through that. SBT: Is this just for high school boys? Is there anyone else that you would counsel? Chad: My passion is really for the high school-age teenage guy. Having once been one myself, I know all the struggles and what it was like and what type of issues that you go through, so that’s always been my passion. When I start working with high school-age youth and implement this mindset or perspective shift, it creates what I call an “awakening moment” with their parents, specifically with their fathers. As a father, I relate to being a dad and the struggles that role entails. As fathers hear what their kids are going through and see the progress and results they want for their kids, they realize that there’s a balance in their life that they haven’t achieved, either. So I sometimes coach and mentor fathers of teenage guys. These dads,
who I call a “daddy on fire,” go from everyday dad to being a daddy on fire through this transitioning process. SBT: Now that you’re working with high school kids directly, what are the problems they have? Chad: I don’t think there’s a high schooler out there that would say life is always great. I remember it was a struggle every single day. But now that I look back, I know, “Man, high school was a cinch, I can’t believe I thought that was an issue or a problem. What I’m dealing with now is so much greater.” The thing that I hear most is they’ve got stress. That’s everything from the shame and blame game that they put upon themselves, to dealing with all the junk and funk in their lives, academic pressures, social pressures, peer pressure, relationships, relationships with their family, sports performance, time management problems, and finding a balance between all the million things that they have going on. We often talk about confidence and self-esteem, and there’s also cases where they’ve struggled, dabbled, or have a problem with drugs and alcohol. They are choosing sedation and not liberation. I’ll put this disclaimer out; I am Click here to read more… Source:: http://smallbusinesstrendsetters.com/an-interview-with-chad-t-collins-teen-coach-and-mentor/

Grand Canyon University Hires Dr. Steve Broe as Professor Grand Canyon University has hired Dr. Steve Broe as a professor in their school of Humanities and Social Services. Broe will begin faculty training in early March and will specialize in teaching courses for masters’ students in their cohort program in the evenings. Grand Canyon University has asked Broe to teach courses on leadership. Since 1949, Grand Canyon University has been an esteemed private Christian university in Arizona. It offers programs through eight colleges. Students may learn through online, evening and campus-based degree programs.
Broe has been an online instructor since 2001, teaching courses in management and organizational behavior. He is the author of Leaders In Transition (2012) which helps career changers move into leadership roles in a new field of work. He is also an executive coach. Broe is excited to be able to help college learners expand their professional abilities and rise to the challenges of leadership in their careers. “Today’s learners are focused on applying what they know as quickly as possible. I work with them to become leaders in their current jobs – not five years from now. This generation wants relevant and meaningful ideas – then they apply as quickly as they can. That is one reason why it is exciting to work with young professionals.” Broe is working on the release of another leadership book. Titled Leading the Way Up Mount Olympus, set for release in early 2015. Broe set out to explore what it is exactly that leaders do to succeed and how leaders handle setbacks and failures. In this book, Broe interviewed more than 30 well-known leaders across varied fields of study to find out the real secret behind their success. He uncovered their mindset, their problem solving strategies, how they redefined their own experiences and reframed their own thoughts about those experiences to transform setbacks and failures into springboards for future success.

Building Authority With Publishing A Kindle Book (Single Author Vs. Multi-Author) Pros And Cons By PatHurinenko Publishing a Kindle book is a great way for an online business to build authority. It sends their name into the public sphere and tells others that they have knowledge on a given subject. Additionally, as the Kindle book can link to various public profiles, it builds further and wider authority. However, business do have to choose whether to have a single author, or whether to use multiple authors. Both options have pros and cons. The Pros and Cons of Single Author Book The biggest benefit of using a single author publication is that it offers a personal connection between the reader and the author. As such, a single person within an organization can become a public face, and become the authority figure on a single topic. Furthermore, it creates a unified voice, creating a recognizable presence. As such, readers will come back to that person and this, in turn, creates branding. Also, when choosing single author Kindle books, the ownership is complete. There is a single responsible person who will also have to be responsible for any failures. “If people like you,” says Zig Ziglar, famous author, salesman and motivational speaker, “they will listen to you. But if they trust you, they will do business with you.” This highlights the main benefit of single author Kindle publishing: it helps to build trust and thereby, attract customers. At the same time, there are downsides to using a single author. Firstly, it, means that postings are potentially limited. A single author can only write so much as well as having to complete their regular duties. Additionally, although the expertise will be true and demonstrate real authority, it is limited to the knowledge of the single author. Finally, it can be quite difficult to be included in Google News by using a single author. This is mainly due to the fact that a single author can only produce so much work. The Pros and Cons of Multi-Author Book Using multiple authors for Kindle books has its own pros and cons, too. One of the biggest benefits is that a full team of experts can work together. This allows them to cover more ground and create a wider brand, with a huge wealth of knowledge. Each of the topics covered can be linked back to the overall aims of the organization itself and this allows all services to be highlighted, rather than a single area.
“If you delegate tasks, you create followers,” says Craig Groeschel of the Global Leadership Summit. “If you delegate authority, you create leaders.” Furthermore, it means that there is a wider range of people to whom your readers are able to relate. Different people have different writing styles, and different readers connect to different styles. This means that by using multiple authors, a wider audience can be reached as well. Finally, by having multiple authors, there is the possibility of always having a steady stream of Kindle books on offer. If an author were to leave the company, or even be off due to personal reasons, the Click here to read more… Source:: http://smallbusinesstrendsetters.com/building-authority-with-publishing-a-kindle-book-singleauthor-vs-multi-author-pros-and-cons/
