CHANGE YOUR MATH CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS CHANGE YOUR LIFE Almost Alchemy challenges your existing beliefs and self-imposed limitations--forcing you to re-imagine, reinvent, and reorganize your business to achieve and exceed goals in a systematic and sustainable way. In this radical new book, Dan Kennedy destroys the myth that "Knowledge is Power" by exposing 20 different proven strategies to ensure business sustainability and maximize wealth extraction. It is thought-provoking, cage-rattling and mind blowing all in one. Alchemy isn't writing slightly better copy or tweaking your marketing to take advantage of some new media or some other hot trend. Instead, it's about reinventing the way you think about your business, recognizing the "brutal realities" that few dare to embrace or refuse to even recognize... and turning information into ACTION and PROFIT. In its mythical context, Alchemy was about one thing and one thing only: transforming ordinary metals into gold. And like thousands of others, you may start this book thinking you're in an ordinary business and finish realizing you instead have a different, bigger, better, more valuable one.
