The Wallet Allocation Rule – Winning the Battle for Share
The Wallet Allocation Rule is a revolutionary, definitive guide for winning the battle for share of customers’ hearts, minds, and wallets. Backed by rock-solid science published in the Harvard Business Review and MIT Sloan Management Review, this landmark book introduces a new and rigorously tested approach—the Wallet Allocation Rule—that is proven to link to the most important measure of customer loyalty: share of wallet.
Companies currently spend billions of dollars each year measuring and managing metrics like customer satisfaction and Net Promoter Score (NPS) to improve customer loyalty. These metrics, however, have almost no correlation to share of wallet. As a result, the returns on investments designed to improve the customer experience are frequently near zero, even negative.
With The Wallet Allocation Rule, managers finally have the missing link to business growth within their grasp—the ability to link their existing metrics to the share of spending that customers allocate to their brands.
- Learn why improving satisfaction (or NPS) does not improve share.
- Apply the Wallet Allocation Rule to discover what really drives customer spending.
- Uncover new metrics that really matter to achieve growth.
By applying the Wallet Allocation Rule, managers get real insight into the money they currently get from their customers, the money available to be earned by them, and what it takes to get it. The Wallet Allocation Rule provides managers with a blueprint for sustainable long-term growth.

Transform: Reclaim Your Body & Life From the Inside Out
TRANSFORM. . .is not like any other book about weight loss that you’ve read. It’s more than a diet prescription and exercise routine. There are plenty of books that can help you with that. TRANSFORM offers something new and profound. A step by step approach that will empower you to transform your physical self AND your life by discovering how to tap into and modify the mental and emotional programming that is sabotaging your ability to create the results you want.
TRANSFORM teaches you how to make long-lasting change to your body and life by making powerful and profound modifications to your psychology and mindset. It’s more than just a meal plan and a workout—it’s a blueprint for living a more fulfilling, healthier life!
TRANSFORM doesn’t just tell you what to do—eat this, train that. Most people know they should exercise more and eat cleaner. Although TRANSFORM does provide this information too. It’s not what you already know that’s the issue. It’s what you don’t know about yourselves that is sabotaging your ability to act on what you know. TRANSFORM reveals to you through an experimential approach how to identify and remove the sabotaging blocks to your success.
TRANSFORM recognizes that we are more than just a body. We are made up of the mind, the body and the spiritual—we are mental, emotional, spiritual, energetic AND physical beings. For true transformation and total wellness to occur ALL of these facets of Self must be addressed. This is why TRANSFORM takes a holistic approach to physical transformation which is more than just diet and exercise—your mental program and emotional behaviors and programming must be explored, scrutinized and examined.

Powerful Peace is a logical arrangement of brief topics on conflict. Four progressive sections (Body, Mind, Heart and Soul) each contain a dozen, easily-digestible but hard-hitting chapters. Each chapter builds on the one before it in leading the reader to first understand that force is sometimes necessary, that persuasion is more powerful, and that some conflict is unnecessary and preventable. The goal of Powerful Peace is to open the reader’s mind about other cultures to comprehend that different does not have to mean wrong, and that an individual’s life can be richer and more enjoyable by trying out some of the concepts contained in Powerful Peace. Powerful Peace is unique and appealing. Never before has a book been written by a SEAL with the intent of reducing conflict and its painful consequences for innocent victims. Powerful Peace addresses the hot topic of American fatigue from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Also, today’s political environment is souring many citizens’ confidence in the direction of our national leadership. Powerful Peace offers hope that real solutions are available.
Kingonomics: Twelve Innovative Currencies for Transforming Your Business and Life Inspired by D. Martin Luther King Jr.
While most know of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s sweeping dream of equality and freedom for all, what many do not realize is just how keenly focused he was on economic issues, particularly in his later years. Without economic opportunity, King often noted man “has neither life nor liberty nor the possibility for the pursuit of happiness. He merely exists.” It was, in fact, while planning the Poor People’s March, a dramatic stand on economic issues, that his voice was forever silenced. In his final book, King posed the question, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? The answer lies in KINGONOMICS, a 21st century interpretation of his economic vision translated through the eyes of globally established economic innovator, business developer and highly successful serial entrepreneur, Dr. Rodney S. Sampson.
Comprised of twelve currencies (including service, innovation and reciprocity), Sampson takes pertinent ideas from the life and works of Dr. King and, by combining them with real life experiences, produces a guide through which one could realize their full potential and personal power. Success does not discriminate and the roadmap to it is contained in the pages of this revolutionary new work.

It’s the white space in their family picture, the background rather than the foreground. This will be the first self-help book to bring this invisible force to light, educate people about it, and teach them how to overcome it.

The One Command: Command Your Wealth by Asara Lovejoy
Readers have been exposed for years to the idea that they are the creators of their reality. And while books like The Law of Attraction, Ask and It is Given, and The Secret, have all made important, lasting contributions to readers’ understanding of how and why this is true, there are essential components that have not been fully explored or integrated. These are truths that the grandfathers of quantum mechanics have inferred but that no one has synthesized into a cohesive system that people can use to change their lives in significant ways. In The One Command: Command Your Wealth, popular radio host, speaker and founder of The One Command process, Asara Lovejoy, demonstrates how the power to change one’s life lies within their own brain and biology. The book guides readers through a six-step process behind The One Command, making it practical and easy for readers to implement immediately. Asara’s One Command training program has helped millions of people around the world through in-person workshops, teleseminars, Commanding Wealth Circles, online One Command membership, and leadership certification.

Executive Toughness: The Mental-Training Program to Increase Your Leadership Performance: The Mental-Training Program to Increase Your Leadership Performance
Take your professional game to the next level—in 100 seconds or less! People with inborn talent may be good at what they do—but only the mentally tough reach the highest plateaus in their field. And here’s the best news of all: mental toughness is something anyone can learn.
Director of mental training for the St. Louis Cardinals and a top-tier executive coach, Dr. Jason Selk knows everything there is to know about developing the mental toughness required for achieving any goal you set for yourself. In fact, the techniques he outlines in this book are the same ones he used to help the Cardinals defeat the heavily favored Detroit Tigers in the 2006 World Series.
Inspired on the vision of legendary basketball coach John Wooden, Selk’s program is as simple as it is effective. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. You have to put effort into your drive to success; it’s the only way to build up your mental “muscles.” Selk provides hands-on daily exercises for breaking old, self-defeating patterns of behavior and replacing them with the can-do attitude and positive behavior that would make Coach Wooden proud.
Executive Toughness outlines the three fundamentals for attaining high-level success:
ACCOUNTABILITY—admit to mistakes, correct them, and, most important, learn from them
FOCUS—on your strengths, on winning, on reaching your goal . . . for only 100 seconds per day
OPTIMISM—don’t just believe you can succeed, know you can succeed
Military Memoir Literary Agent
Executive Toughness takes you through the steps of making these critical behaviors part of your everyday routine. Practice your accountability, focus, and optimism, and you’ll be on the path to attaining your goals; make them part of your mental “DNA,” and there will be no turning back—ever.
