This “how-to” branding book’s premise is simple, yet powerful: Become a minor celebrity in your field of expertise, and you’ll get more business than you can handle. Small-business owners, especially those whose firms are intrinsically linked to their name and personal reputation, will find this book helpful.

“The title of Steven Van Yoder’s new book reminds us of that great quote from 1987’s The Princess Bride. ‘Your friend is just mostly dead,’ Billy Crystal’s Miracle Max says. ‘Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, there’s only one thing you can do – go through his clothes and look for loose change.’ Yoder’s advice is to forget about being famous or even all famous. People just need to worry about being ‘slightly famous’.”
