Bio: a.k.a. - "Who is this guy
and why should I care?"

Dear Friend,

I find myself with a bit of a dilemma...

After spending almost 15 years in the business of promoting #1 Best-Selling Authors and Legends in their fields - I now find myself in the position of having to tell you about who I am, and promoting myself.

You see, I was always the guy wearing the “promoter hat” - but, acting more like a business mad scientist... working behind the scenes in the laboratory, mixing up the latest batch of marketing experiments.

Now, I’m wearing the “author hat” - and the big problem with that is: I know the “dirty little secrets” about many people who are in the “guru” business. You know, the experts who are more than willing to tell you what you should be doing in your business - who haven't actually built and run one.

Personally, I’m a died-in-wool, true-to-the-core entrepreneur. I love to take an idea and turn it into a thriving business... to create something from nothing. It’s what I do... and have worked hard at it for over 35 years. So, when I talk to you about business - I can do so in complete, good conscience.

I’ve worked very hard... studied hard (had the good fortune to work directly with the legends in business training, growth, motivation, and marketing)... made lots of mistakes... and stubbed my business toe many more times than I care to recall. I’m not here to tell you how great I am... or to claim that I’m a “guru” of any kind (not for me to decide) - but, I am here to tell you that I may be in a unique position to help you increase the profits and satisfaction you get from your business.

Doing It Is The Key

The people that I can call my mentors over the years - the ones that have truly helped me... and that were able to impart great wisdom and have significant impact on my success - have all themselves been entrepreneurs, have done what they teach others about, or have actually run their own business.

The real gurus are few and far between. Thankfully, I’ve made it my business to seek them out - and then, to work on projects directly with a good number of them. Being exposed to all this has had a tremendous positive impact on me. But, along the way, I found that there was a huge void of missing information about alternative ways to generate business and profits that is easily available... easy to implement - and I was perhaps uniquely qualified to fill that void.

That led to the writing of my new book with Jay Conrad Levinson, Guerrilla Profits.

I’m inclined to tell you the real story (biography) about how I came to be in this position (as opposed to the edited version of my bio) - but the only thing that seems to make sense is to give you a bit of both, perhaps with the “official” version clearly marked.

Here’s the clearly marked, “official bio,” Revision 3 - Final Draft:

---------------------------

Stuart Burkow is a serial entrepreneur, marketing rainmaker - and a
high-caliber business profits expert with over 35 years of direct, hands-on,

old. He has owned, built and operated successful businesses in retail,

Now, here’s a bit of the “real story” - the unofficial bio:

You know how when you’re a kid, it’s likely that you picked some admirable future occupation that you’d “grow up to be?” Maybe it was “doctor,” or “fireman,” or “veterinarian.” Well for me, my ideal career path would have been “treasure diver.” I know... not exactly a lot of openings in the field. But, it most suited my sense of adventure and desire for profits at the same time.

At that same young age, I found that business was another way to seek treasure. I was astounded that you could show someone something... ask them to buy it... and most likely, they would (of course, I had the “kid advantage” going for me). Then it was simply, “wash, rinse, and repeat” - in other words, you can have as much as you want - by simply repeating a process that works.

In my quest for “treasure” (profits) - I discovered the precious metals and gems business while in college (so... somewhat related to treasure - at least I was dealing in similar loot). From there, a whole series of different businesses (and different industries) - over several decades - that ranged from retail... to wholesale... to manufacturing... to services... to participation deals in developing businesses.

This vast collection of diverse business experiences - plus working directly with legends in business training, growth, motivation, and marketing - has given me a unique perspective into how businesses can generate new business and profits.

So, What does this all have to do with you?
And, more importantly - Why should you care?

Now, I find myself in the business of helping you seek the “hidden treasure” in your business.

And, the biggest barrier to my being able to help you - comes from your own resistance to new ideas and new thinking. One way to get beyond this is to ask yourself, “Am I satisfied with my current results?” If the answer is “no” - then you may want to consider being open to alternatives you might not have tried (or implemented) in your business yet.

Look at it from an “R.O.I.” (return on investment) perspective: If I can help you achieve a multiple of the investment you make with me to achieve it - then, isn’t that a justified effort?

So, it all depends on you...

Are you the type of person who seeks out guidance and good counsel - and are willing to take a look at your business through fresh eyes?
Are you in need of a business course-correction - or struggling to get the attention and recognition you’re after in the marketplace?
Are you interested in leveraging your business and your efforts to produce greater profit results than you’re currently getting?

If any of these are true for you... then contact me so we can explore your profit possibilities together.

To Your Success...

All th best,

Stuart
