Are you tired of all of the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) clogging your brain synapses lately? Clear the pathways with CLR (Courage, Laughter and Real Good Ideas)!

I recommend this week's AuthorTeleseminars.com guests to encourage you to Think Big and Escape From Cubicle Nation...

Michael Port: The Think Big Manifesto
http://www.authorteleseminars.com/thinkbig1.html

By now, you are probably painfully aware that we're in the midst of challenging times. Times that impact ALL business owners (both new and experienced) and professionals, and threaten to undermine our most cherished goals, dreams and plans.

Michael Port's new book: "The Think Big Manifesto" (http://www.thinkbigmanifesto.com) goes beyond the noise to identify the greatest wall to creating results: small thinking. And the antidote is... Thinking BIG!

Thinking big is the most important things we can do right now. As Michael says, it's about being fully self-expressed in the face of all the forces that conspire to pacify your drive, your hunger to be the most you can be.

Thursday May 7, 3PM East
Pam Slim - Escape from Cubicle Nation
http://www.authorteleseminars.com/pamslim1.html

This call is definitely one not to be missed. If you don't know Pam Slim or haven't heard her on a call, you're in for a treat!

The message of Pam's new book, "Escape from Cubicle Nation" is important one for people thinking or making the leap into entrepreneurship, or even anyone who may have launched a biz that needs an overhaul. In other words, there's great value in her message even for those who have already left cubicle nation, especially around building a remarkable brand and creating relevant offers for potential customers.
