I’m going to keep the book offer open for one more day.  We gave away one hundred books in about two hours the other day so I kept the offer open.

I’m going to cap the free book offer at another 100 books or 24 hours – whatever happens first. 

Here’s the form again.  If you have already sent your name in, don’t send it again.  I’m only going to send you one book.

Good luck!

“I’m known as the expert on building relationships, but to become a successful intrepreneur and entrepreneur in my career I’ve had to stay on top of so much more. In Career Intensity David Lorenzo lays out countless ways to enhance your value in the Individual Economy. Use this book to take charge of your career today!”

Keith Ferrazzi, national-bestselling author of NEVER EAT ALONE: And Other Secrets To Success, One Relationship At A Time
 
 
“David Lorenzo says we’ve entered the individual economy. But that doesn’t mean you have to go it alone. Whether you’re a management maverick, an entrepreneur, or a workplace warrior, Career Intensity is a savvy guide to help you navigate the new work terrain.”

Daniel H. Pink
Author of A Whole New Mind and Free Agent Nation
 
 
“Dave Lorenzo packs a punch with his straightforward, motivational philosophy about what people today must do to succeed and thrive in their careers. Career Intensity has it all…strategy, tactical tips and relevant ideas for anyone who is scratching his head wondering why his career isn’t fulfilling or at a minimum satisfying.”

Julie Jansen

“Most people forget to develop their personal brand as they go from job to job.  Dave Lorenzo shows you how to discover your value, build your brand and position yourself for success.  Career Intensity is the perfect handbook for individuals who want to build a rewarding career for the long haul.”

“A good book for our competitive times but Chapter Seven is worth the cost. David Lorenzo understands that those perceptions of you are what you manage. It’s called ‘Positioning Yourself’.”

Jack Trout
President, Trout & Partners
Author of Jack Trout on Strategy 
 
 
“It used to be about, “Can you do the job?” Now, in today’s uber-competitive, global job market, many people can do your job. So it has to be about why you bring value. Personal branding and Lorenzo’s philosophy of career intensity shows you how.”

Catherine Kaputa

John Nardini
Executive Vice President

This weekend we are exhibiting Career Intensity at Book Expo America.  BEA is the largest book industry event in the world.

I have to extend special thanks to Phil Gerbyshak from Make It Great.  He did an outstanding job of getting people to our booth to check out Career Intensity. 

Ron McDaniel of Buzzoodle was also in attendance and helped enormously.  He was actively marketing Career Intensity and driving people to the booth.  He even volunteered to wear a giant Career Intensity Book – maybe next time.

The star of the show was Ron’s daughter Alexandra.  She is a tremendous salesperson (and she’s only eight years old)!  Alexandra was tasked with asking people to come to my line at the autographing session.  BEA has big name authors autographing constantly – so the competition is huge.  After all, people can only carry so many books home in their suitcases.

Thanks to Alexandra, my line was constantly busy.  In one hour I signed over 200 books! 

I am extremely grateful to Phil, Ron and Alexandra for their help and support at this important event.  We wrap the show up today and I’ll report out in the final totals tomorrow.

Lisa Haneberg over at Management Craft posted a terrific review of Career Intensity today.   Lisa says:

“Whatever David is charging for this book, ($18.87 at Amazon) it is well worth it and more.

While most writers (present company included) share X amount of information spaced out with, well, space, Career Intensity is packed – packed!  There’s so much good stuff in this book it could be three books. No one will say, “Where’s the Beef?” It’s thick with insights, tips, and solid info.”

Lisa continues:

“In my phone and email conversations with David, I have found him to be genuine and his thoughts will surely endure. I would recommend Career Intensity to anyone who wants to take charge of and improve his or her success and experience at work. Heck, that should be everyone, right?”

I am truly humbled by Lisa’s kind words.

There was another favorable review of Career Intensity over at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity.  Here is an excerpt:

“I don’t read that many self-help books so I’m not entirely familiar with their general styles, content, and direction so reading David Lorenzo’s Career Intensity was a change of pace for me. When I first started reading it I had the feeling that David was trying to sell me something but after a few more pages I realized what he was trying to sell me: I alone am responsible for taking control of my career, I alone need to develop a road map and a schedule for my life, and that by doing so I would change my life for the better.

Overall, I enjoyed the book because I think every so often you need to take a step back from the daily grind and look yourself in the mirror. I strongly advise you pick up Career Intensity.”

We have been fortunate to receive some great buzz about Career Intensity in the past few weeks.  In case you missed any of the reviews, I have posted some excerpts below:

“I LOVE this book. This book is full of great thoughts that I’ve seen work in my own career and the careers of others. Those of you who really want to manage your career to get the most enjoyment, satisfaction, and financial reward out of it, this book is right up you alley. Congratulations, David. This is a great, great book.”

– Free Money Finance

“Career Intensity should be required reading for everyone graduating from college or university or starting a business. In fact, it could serve as a guide for anyone in the workforce – new or seasoned – who needs a career boost or a shot of motivation”

– Trafcom News

“The book contains concrete suggestions for actions and philosophies that ensure an individual will maximize his or her value………I feel Career Intensity by David Lorenzo is a valuable read for anyone in any stage in their career.”

– Consumerism Commentary

“I believe Career Intensity by David Lorenzo to be a valuable read for anyone in any stage of life. It will guide you through your journey in the corporate world and help you get the most out of your career to enrich your life. It’s a great book worthy of your investment.”

– Business Opportunities Weblog

“This is the second career focused book that I’ve read recently (the other had something to do with being radical) and though it isn’t as flashy as the other one, it is by far the most grounded and practical of the two. In addition to laying out the tenets of his philosophy, Dave often uses stories to illustrate his points. I found this to be a helpful technique for me. You can’t go wrong with this book.”

– Slacker Manager
