Meet the men and women of few words.

At one point in his immortal “Acres Of Diamonds” speech, Russell H. Conwell—in reference to personal greatness—blew a common misconception during his time by saying, “This country is not run by votes. Do you think it is? It is governed by influence.”

From then on, I realized how big a word like ‘influence’ truly is. Big, yet intangible and beguiling. Very few people know how to project influence (that’s why network marketers fail!). Of those who do, they enjoy command and control over resources at their disposal, and that includes money.

Influence, like sales communication, is very much the means to everything in life, but the lessons of it are far and few. If I can recall any title immediately, that would be Robert Cialdini’s “Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion”, and then what else?

Yes, there is something else. Sam Rosen, co-founder of ThoughtLead, in a mission to help as many people as possible start and grow an online business that’s both purposeful and profitable, interviewed some of the most influential thought leaders in business and on the Internet, people like Guy Kawasaki, Robert Scoble, David Meerman Scott, Mike Volpe and 53 other mavens, some of which you may not have heard of before.

The final recording, called “The Influencer Project“, runs through a common theme at bridging the gap between finding money and meaning through business and it’s free to download. At just over an hour long, with barely a minute’s airtime for each speaker, no wonder they have little to say…but they say it BIG!

They’re all part of the new online revolution, the one in which “transparency” and “profitability” go hand-in-hand…where that sick-to-your-stomach feeling you get from traditional marketing goes away, and yet sound business-building strategies stay.

Download the free MP3 recording and transcript and you may stand a chance to become a speaker for Sam too.
