b>Retired consultant sick of theory and rhetoric, says,
“Innovation isn’t about doing something nobody’s done before,
it’s about doing something better than anybody has done it
before.”
Las Vegas, Nevada August 20, 2005 – Everybody has a new idea, a
new theory, a new gimmick to sell to people with problems. David
Jackson, management consultant and founder and president of Use
Your Head Publications, Inc., thinks it’s high time that people
stop wasting money buying what’s new simply because it is new,
and focusing on possible solutions that are logically conceived,
have been tested in real world conditions, and had demonstrable
success.
“I’m sick to death of watching people and companies get duped by
peddlers of the latest gimmick on the block,” says Jackson. “I’m
a firm believer in ‘caveat emptor’ [‘Let the buyer
beware’] but there are so many advances in so many fields coming
at us all so fast that at times it’s hard for even veterans like
myself to tell the elixir from the snake oil. My company is
going to publish only authors and advisors who can verify
results. Whatever it is, if it’s offered on one of our websites,
it’s worked consistently.
“We guarantee satisfaction, but I’m not going to build a
business that amounts to nothing more than a vehicle for
short-term cash float while a million people chunk in $39.95
each only to have 99% of them ask for a refund 90 days later. We
want customers to be able to use us as a filter, and know from
having used any of our authors’ and advisors’ products that they
can expect the same success with anyone else we publish.”
Jackson is excited about the company’s latest project,
MakingHerHappy.com (http://www.makingherhappy.c
om), which promotes an e-book by David Cunningham, another
consultant and long-time associate of Jackson’s, for couples in
a long-term committed relationship that has gone stale, leaving
the partners bored, disengaged, and possibly leaning toward
infidelity or divorce.
“David’s a perfect example of what we’re looking for: sensible
advice, developed with and for real-world couples, and tested on
real-world couples before going public. There are tens of
thousands of sources for relationship advice, marriage advice,
and all kinds of counseling, but much of it is produced by
academic theoreticians and doesn’t hold water in the long term,
which is what makes for trends and fads, not time-honored advice
that comes to be called “wisdom of the ages,” which is what
we’re really after here.”
In his e-book, “How to Be Attractive to the Woman You Love,”
Cunningham says that two people must be well-matched, learn how
to communicate intimately and effectively, and then learn how to
be exciting to each other, which he said is often much harder
for men than for women to learn, so he’s targeted men with his
first book, teaching them what is naturally attractive to women
and how to employ that in a committed relationship, which is
often very different from how one would employ such tactics in a
first meeting or dating situation.
“As an example, ’Boring’ is the kiss of death for a man in a
woman’s eyes, so unpredictability is wildly attractive to women.
But, if a man gets too unpredictable with a woman with whom he
shares a couple of kids, a mortgage, etc., especially with
regard to responsibilities, it’s not attractive; it’s
frightening for her. My book teaches men how to be exciting
without being scary, among other things.”
Cunningham also produces a free daily tips and advice
newsletter, to which readers can subscribe at http://www.makingherhappy.co
