The “One Day To Greatness” seminar with Jack Canfield was a wonderful experience. Jack is a masterful speaker. He has an engaging style and a commanding stage presence. He is a wealth of stories, and they flow out of him effortlessly. He recounted his experiences over the years with his students, as well as those experiences with other well-known celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Tony Robbins, Steven Spielberg, and Bob Proctor, to name a few. I was impressed and inspired by his message.

Jack, along with his partner Mark Victor Hanson, who is sadly not with us anymore, has sold over 500 Million books worldwide, and holds the Guinness Book of Records for the most #1 Bestsellers at the same time, at seven.

There was a surprise visit by Brian Tracy, the co-author of my first Bestseller, Transform. Always great to see Brian. All in all it was an exceptional day, one I won’t forget for a long time. I plan to meet with Jack in the near future to discuss other opportunities.

Above, you’ll find a picture of Jack and I with the book I co-authored with him, The Soul of Success.

Steve Renner Introduction- Katrina LeMoine

Entrepreneur. Motivational speaker. Small business expert. Internet marketing pioneer.  Blues guitarist. Songwriter. Grandfather and idea generator.  All of the above are used when talking about Steve Renner. 

The Minneapolis native has been working to help others use the Internet to achieve a better life for 17 years and he doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon.  His success following this goal is owed to his insight into the ever-changing worlds of marketing and technology. Collaborator and author of Transform (Celebrity Press, 2014), Brian Tracy calls Steve “…a visionary on a level with Steve Jobs.”

For those that know Steve, that comparison is fitting. A constantly moving force of energy that is always thinking towards the next big thing; Steve can be tough to pin down. Between meetings with business partners, trips to conventions all over the world, knowing each of his employees in his home base Minneapolis office and checking in with them to see how their work is going, Steve is a hands-on participant in every aspect of his business.

This is not to say that Steve is simply the boss, he is also the driving force behind the ideas for many of the products and services that Acesse, ADX Net and Mobilesoft Technologies Inc. have launched. Mobile devices, audio technology, app development, mobile gaming, music streaming, chat and social networking/sharing services are the reach of ideas that Steve has been able to make realities.

Steve is not only heavily involved in business practices but also in philanthropic ventures.  The Acesse Foundation was founded in 2013 to fight hunger and injustice, and has continued to send donations to charitable organizations around the world.

Outside of work Steve is a family man, and enjoys spending time with his children and grandchildren.  He is also a revered blues musician throughout the Twin Cities, writing his own songs, playing lead guitar and providing vocals for his tracks. Calling his album “Raining In My Heart” a mix of  “Blues/Rock format, progressive and modern. A cross between Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan.”

Steve Renner is a successful man, but that isn’t a fluke. Hard work, a range of interests and a huge amount of insight into the tech industry as well as an understanding of the human element of consumers fuel this success.

Back to Basics: Content Marketing

Part One: The Start of the Content Marketing Journey

First of all, what is content marketing?

The answers are all over the map. Basically, content marketing—a buzz term that’s been surfacing online, on podcasts, in videos, and all over social media for a while now—acts as the driving voice behind your brand. Content marketing is an umbrella term covering a lot of ground, but, essentially, it refers to the creation and sharing of valuable content aiming at conversion and returning customers. Unlike traditional copywriting, which uses headlines and email campaigns to drive traffic, content marketing utilizes more interactive means—blogs, podcasts, video, and social media. Working together, copywriting and content marketing can work wonders for your ROI.

The goals of effective copywriting + content marketing are simple:

• Get customers to subscribe to/follow your content
• Get customers to share your content

The more often you accomplish these goals, the bigger your digital footprint and brand awareness will become. READ MORE

Announcing Acesse Mail: Email for You

Billions of people use email every day. They conduct business, send reminders, letters, everything. During the average workweek, 33% of a person’s time is spent checking, reading, or sending email. And a lot of email is being sent: roughly 200 billion a day. That number is greater than the amount of people who have ever lived. It’s greater than the number of stars in our galaxy. It’s…a lot.

Email has been around for a long time. It’s literally older than the Internet. Although Ray Tomlinson is credited for having invented email in 1971 (he picked the @ symbol still used today, and sent the first networked email), electronic mail, in some rudimentary form or another, dates back to the 1960s, when messages were sent electronically at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Email has undergone countless iterations: By 1985, emails were common among professionals like academics, military personnel, government workers, and college students; 1996 gave us Hotmail, one of the first web-based email services; we then saw AOL and others, until Gmail became pretty standard in 2007.

Email is not only important, it’s essential. It’s how we communicate in today’s world. But there’s more to email than sending and receiving messages—there’s an identity involved. Your email service of choice says a lot about you. Really, there are only a few popular choices: AOL, Hotmail, Gmail, etc. Until now…

Acesse is excited to announce our exclusive email service, Acesse Mail!
