How to Build a Business Empire | An Interview with Brian Sher

By On · 8 Comments · In Branding

I developed a serious entrepreneurial crush* on Brian Sher, while reading his book What Rich People Know & Desperately Want to Keep Secret. When I was first given this book I kind of blew it off because the title to me seemed over the top, then I did a little bit of research on Brain and realized he was the real deal.

Brian got out of college & started consulting for thousands of bucks a pop  because he was confident enough to put an ad in the paper, even with no experience. He turned an upstart business into a multimillion dollar enterprise, he has written several books and has been involved with a bevvy of successful business ventures. When I started reading his book, I could put it down – in a 6 hour period I had finished the whole thing and was eager for more.

This interview is a true jewel, Brian opens up and talks about strategies and steps to take you from zero to 60. His style and wit is entertaining and his business savvy is unrivaled. If you take one step towards building the business of your dreams this week, make it listening to this interview – it will rock your world.

    Wonderful interview Maren. I'd never heard of Brian Sher, but am putting his book on my “must read” list.

    Really fun interview to listen to. You and IBM give me the listening content to keep me busy when I'm not reading. Speaking of building empires. That is my dream. When people ask what I do I simply reply “building the empire.” Just registered TheEnglishEmpire.com (since my last name is england). Blank site, but it has the potential to be my flag ship.

    Anyways, there are plenty of empires to go around. Just redid my Speed Reading Software Site. http://QuickEyeSpeedReading.com . For real this time, design, copy, and graphics. I'm pleased with the results.

    Thanks as always.

    Great interview Maren (and Brian). It's so easy to get overwhelmed by all the information out there, deciding what to read can be paralyzing – weighing the opportunity cost. I look forward to checking out that book.

    I love his application of the idea that you don't need to know it all, you just need to know a little more than the person/business you're helping.

    Fantastic interview really helpful and inspiring. I'm definitely going to pick up his book.

    Maren, have you ever read Robert Ringer's book, “Winning Through Intimidation”? It came out in the 1970s I believe. He just rewrote it but I haven't read the new version.

    I think I've read almost every business book out there and Ringer's is definitely the best. Also, it's Dan S. Kennedy's favorite book–couldn't get a higher recommendation then that.

    Best, Luke

    Wow – this was awesome! Loved it, and agree the biggest skill missing with most small businesses is marketing. Thankfully, if you love what you do, it's easy to improve.
