Knowing how to advertise and market products effectively is key to success in business. By standing out above the noise made by the competition, consistent success can be achieved.

This point is driven home in memorable fashion by Seth Godin in his book, Purple Cow. In order to enjoy success in a marketplace saturated by distractions, he says that a product or service must be so remarkable that one can see how it differs from the competition when they first encounter it.

3) Never Eat Alone, by Keith Ferrazzi

It’s not what one knows, it’s who they know: it’s been said time and again, but there is a large degree of truth to this maxim.

It is this point that has led Keith Ferrazzi to write his best-selling book, Never Eat Alone. The principle of this book centers around the fact that no matter how busy anyone is, we all have to eat.

Keith argues in his book that the ambitious entrepreneur should make the best use of this time by eating as many meals as possible with people from whom they can learn valuable skills.

By conducting themselves in a congenial manner and providing value to the other party, business people without a robust network can build one within a relatively short period of time.
