CelebrityPress, a leading business marketing and finance book publishing company, has recently signed a publishing deal with Tracy Myers to release the book, ‘Uncle Frank Sez’ LIFE LESSONS FROM THE FRONT PORCH OF A SELF-MADE MAN!

Orlando, Fla. – February 25, 2011 – Tracy Myers, The Nations Premier Automotive Solutions Provider, has written the forthcoming book titled, ‘Uncle Frank Sez’ LIFE LESSONS FROM THE FRONT PORCH OF A SELF-MADE MAN! Nick Nanton, Esq. along with business partner, JW Dicks, Esq., recently signed a publishing deal with Tracy to contribute his expertise to the book, which will be released under their CelebrityPress™ imprint.

The forthcoming book, ‘Uncle Frank Sez’ LIFE LESSONS FROM THE FRONT PORCH OF A SELF-MADE MAN! Features the sayings of ‘Uncle Frank’. Everyone should have an Uncle Frank.

‘Uncle Frank’ gushes his wit and wisdom with an inimical ‘down home’ flavor. His sayings (‘Frankisms’) are not the kinds you would expect to hear at typical tea parties or in genteel ‘coffee-klatches’. They are, however, sage pieces of advice from a man who has lived life, understands human frailties including his own, and wants to give the rest of us the benefit of his hard-earned knowledge. It is his caring and ‘Frank’ way of passing along to us the “nuggets” of his experiences – to make us better and more successful people.

Uncle Frank’s salesmanship is anchored in love, wisdom, integrity and experience. His ‘Frankisms’ are to be savored, implemented and lived. They highlight the values of forthrightness, honesty, and planning – advice we don’t often get in a politically correct, ‘me first’ world, …and the kind of advice responsible parents or caring teachers pass along to their students. It’s like a “tough love” prescription for success!

If you are disciplined enough to adopt most of these ‘Frankisms’, some of which may be new to your way of thinking, you will be motivated to succeed with integrity. The ability to care about others while making a better life for yourself and your family are universal ideals, but one vehicle to get you there is expressed by Uncle Frank as: “ The standards set for you by others can’t be higher than the ones you set for yourself.” That is his version of the Golden Rule.

His final comment in the book on ‘quitting’ is one that none of us should ever forget! You need to read, learn and inwardly digest that one before you give up!

Other books recently released by CelebrityPress™ include Ignite Your Business with Kelly O’Neill, The Relationship Age featuring social media expert, Mari Smith; The New Masters of Real Estate: Getting Deals Done in the New Economy featuring real estate investment expert and mentor, Ron LeGrand; Game Changers: America’s Leading Entrepreneurs and How They’re Changing The Game, and You Can Too” and Counter-Attack with Brian Tracy.
