www.theExpertMaker.com is the “how-to” home and resource center for professionals who have a passion for a purpose and who understand the power of being recognized as the expert in their field by the audiences they serve.
Here you will find articles, tips, tactics, strategies, and some off-beat humor intended to provide insights and pathways that anyone can begin to implement in their journey to expert status.
As opposed to a “blog” we will offer articles, educational sessions, forums, and links to friends, partners, and people a whole bunch smarter than us. You can (please do…) sign up for our newsletter, “The Jai Lai”, and soon you will be able to buy our book, Passion For A Purpose—How You Can Become The Recognized Expert In Your Chosen Field.

1. In 1996, through a series of events that can only
be described as miraculous, I was featured on the
cover of Sales and Marketing Management
magazine. As a result of this media exposure, I
was considered an “expert” and I was invited to
speak dozens of times, all over the world. Each
and every time I was asked to speak I was given
the opportunity to sell my book, my tapes, or my
videos. There was only 1 problem . I didn’t have a
book, or a tape series, or anything for sale. A
once in a lifetime opportunity, lost, never to be
recovered.
2. In 2009, through a series technological advances that
can only be described as miraculous, now anyone can
be the centerpiece of a website, a blog, and can even
be featured on the cover of a magazine. As a result of
this media exposure, now anyone can be considered
an “expert” and being invited to speak dozens of
times, all over the world, is just the beginning. There
are only 2 problems. People don’t have the time, and
they don’t know what to do first. A once in a lifetime
opportunity, lost, never to be recovered.
