Dorie Clark is a marketing strategy consultant, professional speaker, and frequent contributor to the Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Entrepreneur,and the World Economic Forum blog. Recognized as a "branding expert" by the Associated Press, Fortune, and Inc. magazine, she is the author of the brand-new best-seller Stand Out.
Today, she talks with James and Claudia about what it means to stand out.
Dorie gives us five different strategies that successful people have used to come up with their breakthrough ideas.

1.Become an expert in a narrow niche and then expand out.

2.Combine disciplines, mash up two different ideas.

3.Do independent research. We need more facts.

4.Tackle a big idea.

5.Create a framework.

 
She details all of these with great examples in today's podcast, along with examples on how to build your following.
She says you first have to build your network, next build your audience, and finally you have to build your community.
That's the tipping point.

P.S. Hi, James here...
My new book is finally out! It has taken me a year to put together all the skills I think are needed to create abundance in this new economy. I hope you write me with feedback and questions.
Here's what the initial reviews on this book have said:
"James Altucher did it again. I just finished and have to say it was a great read. Great insight into the future of wealth."
"I couldn't wait for this book to come out. It was well worth the wait! Very short and jam-packed with good ideas and advice for the budding entrepreneur. A must read!"
"This is the road map out. Very specific ideas to get you unstuck and to thrive in the 21st century. If you follow the ideas in this book you will receive 1000% or more in return on your investment."
I'm really grateful for the response I've received so quickly. I feel we are quickly building a strong community of people who are deciding to "choose themselves."
 
If you want to get the book exclusively in hardcover, plus several other special reports and a subscription to my brand-new newsletter, which is the equivalent of two additional chapters every month, claim your copy here.
