About the Book

The New Science of Success:  How to Outsource Proof Your Job & Prosper in a (DIY) Web 2.0 Economy is about how you will either benefit or become of victim of the next phase of the Internet, often called Web 2.0, Business 2.0, or Enterprise 2.0.  This next generation Internet makes it possible for us to do things faster, easier and cheaper than ever before. 

Despite the technology and hype around Web 2.0, this book is written in simple, practical, layman’s terms instead of business buzz words and technology jargon. I provide specific “how-tos” that the average person can use right now.  Examples abound:

  •  23andMe.com is a web-based service that helps you read and understand your DNA
  • You can now self-publish a book in days or weeks for a few hundred dollars rather than spending thousands of dollars and waiting months or years to get a book to market.  High-quality, low cost, publishing and distribution services are now provided by such sites at Lulu.com, Blurb.com and InstantPublisher.com, to name a few.  The website OurStory.com makes this even easier by guiding you through a series of milestones to which you can add text, photos or videos as part of a timeline
  • If you have knowledge in any field, you can now market and sell it digitally using FreeIQ.com.  
  • Looking to stay healthy and fit or help others do the same, point your browser to such interactive fitness sites like PeerTrainer.com, Gimme20.com, ApexFitness.com, BodyBugg.com, and FitnessCoach.com.  The BoddyBuggTM is an arm band that you wear just below your shoulder.  It monitors your calorie burn as you go about your daily activities or your workout.  You can go online or access the information via a wrist watch, Blackberry or other PDA, or cell phone in order to see how well you are doing against your fitness goals.
  • Need to improve sales and marketing at a low or no cost?  Let your mouse do the clicking on InfoUSA.com.  Learn to use this site well in combination with VerticalResponse.com (capture sales leads through your website) and others and you will be on your way to increasing online or offline sales. 
  • Log onto Evoca.com and record your own voice or song by connecting through a Web browser or a mobile device such as a cell phone. 
  • Now anyone can send emergency funds 24x7 to friends and relatives anywhere in the world by accessing the online services of iKobo.com and Xoom.com – no waiting lines, telephone hold times or agents.  Similar websites let a mother send emergency funds to her daughter attending college online or via cell phone in a matter of minutes
  • Sites such as Spoke.com, Orkut.com and Linkedin.com provide you the means to create a global, Web-based Rolodex of business and personal contacts, and stay in touch with them for a lifetime.  Think of it as Facebook.com or MySpace.com for adults and professionals.

 

 





About the Author

I'm Frank Shines, a former athlete, Air Force officer and IBM principal.  Over the past 20 years I have trained and competed with Olympic athletes, flown military jets and traveled all over the world providing business and technology consulting services to such companies as Johnson & Johnson, Exxon-Mobil, Abbott Labs, Siemens, Newport News Shipbuilding and many others.  But I remain humble and grateful.  Things have not always been so easy for me and my family.

I grew up in poverty on the streets of Oakland, California (USA) where I saw more tragedy as a child than many people experience in a lifetime.  But despite such a rocky start, I somehow broke through with the aid of an art teacher, a Latino family, a former WWII marine and some great coaches.  In The New Science of Success, I draw upon all of these experiences and provide you real life, personal stories and examples that bring the ideas to life and make them memorable.

In the book, I not only provide you with very specific "how-tos" like the examples shown in the column to the left, but I also give you a formula for success:  Success = f {PAR + KASH}P is for Purpose.  A is for Actions, and R is for Results.  Embedded within Actions are Knowledge, Attitude, Skills and Habits (KASH).  In my experience, I have found that the most successful people in all walks of life (athletes, artists, techies, business people, parents, etc.) consistenly apply this formula to attain and sustain success -- whether they are aware of it or not.

This formula for achieving success has worked well for me.  I hope it works even better for you. 

All the best,

Frank "Rio" Shines
