We’ve all seen the photos… The ones of some entrepreneur lying in a hammock by the beach, sipping on a cocktail… And the caption goes something like “Check it out guys… I’m living the dream!” This is the promise of 100% freedom and independence and it’s that “make money while you sleep” lifestyle that gets people so excited.

Feeling fed up, frustrated and like nothing is going your way? We’ve all been there in business and in life, and you’ll be happy to know there IS a way out and I’m sharing the juicy details in my latest video book review on John Kennedy O’Toole’s, A Confederacy of Dunces.

Let’s get right to the point… If you’re already pre-recording any kind of video for your audience — whether it’s a sales video, a casual blog or an impromptu rant about something, anything — you’re leaving reactions, comments and shares on the table by NOT broadcasting it live on Facebook.
