A visual way to easily access the strategies and tactics in Book Yourself Solid

Learning new concepts is easier when you can see the solution. Book Yourself Solid Illustrated, a remarkable, one-of-a-kind work of art, transforms the Book Yourself Solid system into a more compelling and easy-to-consume playbook for any business owner.

You won't find business school graphs or mind maps. Instead, you'll find compelling, visual stories that reinvent old and tired business concepts, making Book Yourself Solid Illustrated a fun and playful book that you will revisit year after year as you get more clients than you can handle.

There isn't a business book on the market that can show you how to apply the strategies, techniques, and skills necessary to generate new leads, add more clients, and increase profits through visuals. Previously you could only read or listen to advice, now you can see it and get it faster.

This illustrated version is organized into four modules: your foundation, building trust and credibility, simple selling and perfect pricing, and the Book Yourself Solid 6 core self-promotion strategies.

Reengineering the book with visual strategist, Jocelyn Wallace, has given author Michael Port new ways of explaining and expanding his gold-standard material.
Author Michael Port has been called a "marketing guru" by the Wall Street Journal and "an uncommonly honest author" by The Boston Globe, and wrote Book Yourself Solid (in it's 2nd edition), Beyond Booked Solid,The Contrarian Effect which was selected as a 2008 top ten business book by Amazon.com and the 2008 #1 sales book of the year by 1-800-CEO-READ, and The New York Times Bestseller, The Think Big Manifesto.
Author is one of the most popular business coaches in the world and headlines events all over the world.

Master the techniques in Book Yourself Solid Illustrated, and take your service business to the next level today.

For the first time ever you can have the Book Yourself Solid Mobile app. Install it on any device and the Book Yourself Solid System comes to life. Do all of 49 exercises from the new book on any device, including your desktop computer. This thing rocks.

Book Yourself Solid is a Godsend

ByKristine M. Smithon November 8, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

As an author and freelance copywriter, one of my bugaboos has always been self-promotion and networking. Although I'm a terrific promoter of other people's products and services via the written word as a copywriter, I've always found the idea of stepping out of my comfort zone and networking for additional business (or to sell the six books I've written) scary and daunting. I guess that's because I've met too many people who "network" the wrong way! I never wanted to be seen as one of them: pushy and "in your face." (Then again, maybe the others I've met who network do so with such finesse, as shown in this book, that it never occurred to me that they were "networking" or "pushing" their products, book or services at all!)

Of course my aversion to talking about what I do for a living left me on the outside looking in. IF/WHEN people found out what I do, by way of another person introducing me, they always seemed surprised and delighted. But even then I'd deflect the conversation to something else--anything else!--to keep the attention off myself. (Confession time: I hated my own birthday parties as a kid. Too much focused attention! And when teachers would read what I'd written in class, I would want to melt, run under someone's shoe and disappear!)

So BOOK YOURSELF SOLID seemed to be something I "needed" to read. It has revolutionized my way of thinking. It has given me the mindset I need to recognize that what I do is extremely valuable (to small business owners who can't afford paying a fortune for a copywriter, and for readers who love the kinds of subjects I tackle in my books) and that there is no shame in letting people know (like the Whos in Whoville) "I'm here! I'm here!"

If I could give BOOK YOURSELF SOLID more stars, I would. But then you'd see nothing but stars!

There's much more to BOOK YOURSELF SOLID than I've mentioned here. LOTS more. This is just the primary way in which the book has served my immediate, most pressing needs. It has turned this shy gal into a professional who networks with the best of them the RIGHT way. It's becoming less alien each time I do it. I'm still a work in progress, but I'm getting there!

Thank you so much, Michael Port, for this helpful, amazing, step-by-step guide to booking myself solid! BRAVO!!!

Solid book written by a solid communicator

ByAmazon Customeron August 22, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I saw Michael Port on a video once, and his personality drew me to his work. He is a down to earth, everyday person, with tons of experience in both film and public speaking and he makes the information he is sharing easy to understand and easy to use. He is constantly reinforcing his techniques, and always injecting humor to keep your interest. The things he brings out sometimes appear to go against convention, hence his "break the rules" motto, yet he gives much respect to the rules of speaking, which provide for an entertaining and captivating speech, especially when you do things that are unexpected and different. Great Book! Highly recommended for anyone in Public Speaking or wishing to grow your business, because business is relationships, and relationships are built on trust and communication. Michael Port delivers on both.

Just the knock in the head that I needed

ByAmazon Customeron March 13, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I purchased and am reading not only this book, with all the words, but the other one with the pictures also. The picture book is easier to read but words help add depth and meaning to the pictures. I recommend both.

My only issue with this book is that as I was starting my business I was in a big hurry to bowl people over with my awesomeness and take orders for my highest revenue services. This book was, and is, a bit of a wake up slap upside the head that my bull in a china shop approach isn't the best approach for me or my customers. There have been times when I felt like, and still do, that I just need to throw this book away and go knock on doors, however, there's little question the exercises I'm going through are worthwhile. As additional evidence, every fellow 'consultant' I talk to about some of the things I'm reading here, and doing, is blown away by the volume of 'great ideas' I have. Yes, Michael, I attribute them all to you.

For the visual learners out there...

ByCharles V. Doubleton April 1, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Let me begin with a disclaimer, I am a recently certified Book Yourself Solid coach, so of course my review would be biased on some level. With that being said, I feel that this is an excellent resource for anyone in marketing & sales.

I first found out about BYS a year ago, as I had been looking for a system that would help my wife to build her healing practice, BYS was the first complete system that my wife and I could embrace as a way to market her services with integrity and enthusiasm, so much so that we both soon enrolled in Michael's training program (how's that for an upsell testimonial?)

I have since spoken with many people who have also bought Michael's first and second edition of his BYS book, but for whatever reason and not been able to take advantage of the excellent information that he provides, with this new edition, hopefully for many, that will change. Creating a visual illustrated version of his already best-selling book, Michael helps those who are less inclined to learn from text, creating visual mnemonics that help to anchor the concepts that the book has to offer.

In our rapidly moving world, many of us do not have the luxury to sit down with a book to gather out from it what is available, this visual version allows such a person to quickly get pictorial snapshots to quickly get through the material.

I strongly recommend this version, even if, or maybe especially, if you have the other editions and have just not been able to take advantage of the material.
