In 2017, my word was “bucket-list” and boy did I accomplish a lot! It was a “big” birthday year. My father passed away right after he turned 51 so I wanted to do some things out of my comfort zone in his honor. A lot of amazing things happened.

Personally, my favorite was a family trip to Europe. It was incredible to spend 10 days away, together and experience so many new things.

Professionally, getting a regular segment on Good Morning Washington testing gadgets and products has been a highlight of my career. I love doing it and I love finding new inventors and giving them visibility.

So, what’s my word for 2018? “

FAME.” Not fame like winning an Oscar fame but fame in my industry.

Definition of Fame

widespread reputation, especially of a favorable character; renown; public eminence:

I want to be known as THE do-it-yourself PR guru and trainer and I also want fame for YOU. I want to help as many people as I can become famous in their industry. It’s really not that hard to do if you embrace the power of publicity.

I just worked with a real estate agent who pitched a story to the Washington Post. Within a month his article ran and immediately afterwards, he got three $1M+ listings. I’d say that makes him famous.
