Book description

How to quit the rat race, do what you love, and make money doing it

Ben Angel, also known as the "Agent of Influence," is Australia's top personal branding and influence specialist. Entrepreneurs, companies, speakers, and famous authors look to him when they want to learn how to engage their target audiences and the media or build a highly influential personal brand. In this new book, Angel offers practical, actionable advice on how to ditch the nine-to-five life and do something that both inspires and enriches you. With step-by-step strategies on how to design, fine tune, and market your business idea, this book shows you how to discover what you want to do, crack the code of the new social media landscape, find the tipping point that makes your business go viral, and make money authentically, by doing what you love.

With lifelong job security a thing of the past, the most successful people are those capable of reinventing themselves and what they do. This book shows readers how to do that by monetising their particular area of expertise to change the world—and get rich in the process.

  • Shows you how to flee 9-5 and turn your expertise and knowledge into a 6-7 figure business in under 6 months

  • Find out ways to crack the code of the new world economy and shape the world we live in

  • Reveals how any business owner, individual, or entrepreneur can outsource their work and do what they love from anywhere in the world

    • If you want to start your own business, forget the nine-to-five life and start doing something that you love. With this book in hand, you'll learn to use social media and modern marketing techniques to build a brand, create revenue streams, and earn a six- to seven-figure income.
