The best book in print on simplified finance!

OK, maybe those weren’t words from an independent source exactly. But my book is still a best seller for good reason. Finance for Non-Financial Managers, published by McGraw-Hill, is truly finance in plain English for those who are averse to learning about finance and accounting reports and all that stuff. It’s used in classrooms and corporate offices, by big company executives and startup entrepreneurs. Why this book? Because you can understand it!

And if you buy it from us you also get the right to email me any questions that come up in your reading. And I’ll sign it for you besides. Is that a blatant pitch for your money? Yup! Go to http://www.amazon.com/Finance-Non-Financial-Managers-Briefcase-Books/dp/0071413774/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213433046&sr=8-1 on Amazon.com and read the many reviews from delighted readers. Then you can either buy the book from Amazon for a few dollars off the cover price, or come to us and get the autographed book and the email rights for $14.95 plus shipping. It’s a steal! Go to http://www.executivefinancecoach.com/finance_book.html and get yours while they last. OK, that last part is puffery. We’ve got lots of them. But they’re not helping you while they’re sitting on our shelf. Use your PayPal account or your credit card and get your copy now.

The not-for-profit dilemma: forecasting revenues

I forgot to mention earlier that I presented my first webinar a few weeks ago, a content-rich 50 minutes for over 700 of our not-for-profit readers who are involved with forecasting the revenues of a service agency. I covered a host of dos and don'ts, opportunities to take advantage of and pitfalls to avoid, with some Q&A at the end. Also answered a bunch of questions from registered listeners after the program was over.

You can still register and hear the program, see the slides that I used, and even download the presentation, by going to the American Marketing Association page where it's stored. The link is: http://www.marketingpower.com/webcast448.php

If you're responsible for revenue forecasting or budgeting for a nonprofit agency, or if you assist someone who has that responsibility, or if you're on the board of directors for a charity or a foundation, or even if you just want to be, you've got to hear this program. Afterwards, if you have questions, send me an email and I'll respond personally.
