Orlando, Fla. – November 28, 2011 – JW Dicks, Esq., America’s Foremost Expert on Personal Branding for Business Development and Co-founder of the Dicks and Nanton Celebrity Branding Agency recently joined a select group of business experts and entrepreneurs to collaborate and co-write the business and marketing book titled Trendsetters: The World’s Leading Experts Reveal Top Trends To Help You Achieve Greater Health, Wealth and Success! The book was released by CelebrityPress™, a leading business, marketing and health book publisher.

Trendsetters: The World’s Leading Experts Reveal Top Trends To Help You Achieve Greater Health, Wealth and Success! was released on Thursday, October 6, 2011 and features top advice from leading entrepreneurs, business owners and marketing experts from around the world. The authors tackle an array of subjects ranging from health, wealth, marketing and business success.  JW Dicks, along with online marketing expert, Lindsay Dicks, of CelebritySites.com, contributed a chapter titled “The Power of Personal Branding To  Your Market Niche.”

On the day of release, Trendsetters reached best-seller status in two Amazon.com categories: Entrepreneurship and Direct Marketing.

JW Dicks is one of America’s leading experts on using personal branding to build a business.  JW emphasizes branding, and the importance of online marketing and social media to his clients and gives them strategies to expand their business in the current economy.

About the Book:

Are YOU a TRENDSETTER? By definition, a Trendsetter is not a follower. So, what is a Trendsetter? Is it a leader? Leadership can mean leading in thought, word or deed, or some combination of all three. In the Business World, thought has no future if bounded by inaction – commonly referred to as ‘analysis paralysis’ – so thought and deed are invariably intertwined. Now combine those two with the ‘word’ portion of the trifecta of thought, word and deed, and now…we have the prospect of leadership and success. So, are you a Trendsetter? You may be. There is no prescription for one, but you can compare your goals and achievements with the benchmarks made by those in this book. In this book, we give you a number of our Celebrity Experts® who are Trailblazers and Trendsetters. They have done it! These are successful experts who made their mark and share with you how they and their concepts developed. Can Trendsetting be emulated? Absolutely, but you, yourself, will have to personally work through the stages of thought, word and deed…just like these leaders have. May you be crowned by your definition of Success! What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. ~ Zig Ziglar
