One of the big questions I ask when considering whether or not to invest my time (let's be honest, it's not the $$ cause we'll blow $10 on a mediocre lunch) into a book is this: Is there anything new for me to gain in reading this book?And I'll tell you, I'm a bit irritated with author John Meese... I've been in the online business space for over 5 years, and this book would have saved me so much time from chasing gurus. I wish Mr. Meese would have had this book available when I first started.Thankfully, there's always room to grow so I still find it a great asset.The way the material is presented both in word and through illustration makes the content feel so fresh. Concepts I've heard before are in the book, of course, but John's presentation and communication of those concepts makes them *easier to understand* and *faster to implement.*Having said that, I do wish there were more illustrations to guide the reader through the concepts. The illustrations that are there are so helpful in *creating clarity*, it really made me want more. Especially because it sets it apart from other books in this genre.Truth be told, I have not finished the book cover to cover. But why would I? The material is delivered in a way that encourages taking action rather than simple study. None of us need another book on theory or how cool the author is for grinding it out. What we need is what John offers. Practical wisdom, easy to understand, easy to apply.If you are a wantrepreneur looking to start or an entrepreneur ready to scale - this book is your best bet. I highly recommend it.

John Meese has taught these concepts to thousand of students already and is now sharing his knowledge in this easy to read book. Get it, read it and do it!

John Meese's book, Always Be Teaching, is not only a DELIGHT TO READ, it is full of practical help and loads of encouragement from someone who has lived what he is teaching. I highly recommend it!!

John’s philosophy of Always Be Teaching is a huge mindset shift from the way most content creators think. I loved how easy this was to read + the illustrations make it a lot of fun! You could easily use this book to build your entire philosophy that powers your operational results.

What I like about John's book is it gives you the truth about what it takes to be successful and what you need to do to be successful if you want to be an entrepreneur. There are so many illustrations that will help you get unstuck, gain traction and have a clear understanding of how to move forward. I wish I had this book years ago when I was struggling and overpaying for information and tactics that don't work. I highly recommend taking the time to read, implement and grow your business with John's wisdom and guidance.

Each section in this book is short and to the point. I can read one chapter quickly and get all the information I need. He does a great job making things straight forward and actionable. And as silly as it sounds, the illustrations help to drive the content home making it memorable. Definitely worth the read.

John has a way of taking sound, practical business advice and putting it in language you can not only understand, but apply. He's always been able to do that when he teaches. Seeing that he can do it in the written word is terrific!

Forget the MBA and do this instead. Business doesn't have to be complicated. But way too many people overcomplicate it. Unfortunately, that leads to many businesses never getting started. This book breaks down the truth: that anyone with the drive to do so can start a successful businesses. I'm very confident you'll do great if all you do is implement what you learn in here.

Totally digging the new book! What a great job John. It’s short, digestible and extremely thought provoking. Helping me think differently about how we approach the problem of building a business and bringing it to market.Plus it has pictures, so you know, I can actually follow along. If I weren’t reading it on Kindle I would suggest maybe pop ups in the next book ;)Great work John!

If you have a heart to help, see a problem and have a solution, grab this book as a blueprint to put it in action.John Meese walks you from idea to product; from product to pricing; and even helps you understand how to make the most of your budget and financial management (with tons of resources to boot).Entrepreneurs adapt and innovate, so adapt to the idea that John Meese has captured the most innovative business ideas in one place.

There is so much to love about this book. Good topics. Great writing. Practical illustrations. Tremendous value. This is the second book I've enjoyed by author John Meese.

From start to finish, there were so many times that it related to exactly what I needed to read, making it an instant favorite. One of the standout features of this book is the range of topics covered. Meese does an incredible job of addressing relevant and thought-provoking topics that are sure to capture the attention of readers from all walks of life.

Always Be Teaching is an easy-to-read resource for those who are new to the online space, are moving into it from a brick-and-mortar, and even for those who like a succinct review of concepts they’ve been learning for years.John Meese uses dozens upon dozens of real-life examples of what others have done (along with links in the downloadable version). I loved the simple and yet well-illustrated visual concepts.Each chapter and section is short and easily digestible. He goes over concepts such as : helping your potential clients by understanding what problem you solve, giving away your best info, imposter syndrome, documenting a la Gary Vaynerchuk, and so much more.If you want a book with well-rounded business advice and ideas without having to buy All. The. Books, grab your copy.

Always Be Teaching has proven to me that I can Thrive Again online by teaching what I already know.

This is a well-conceived and well- written book on an important subject. It is engaging and easy to read. The illustrations augment the text in ways that increase the fund and also the understanding.The book proceeds from a more general, theoretical framework to specific, highly practical guidance.The qualities that make this a good resource for content creators include:• The differentiation between manipulative marketing gambits and marketing designed to discover and serve the real needs of buyers. “Which do you want, to become trendy or trusted?” (p. 39)• Memorable imagery and language. For example, the author uses the phrase “magnetic brand identity” to convey the need to target a specific audience, which is attracted to your product or services, and to repel those for whom it is not a good fit. This image coupled with a great drawing gets a point that many marketing professionals make again and again but in a less memorable way. Another example is the phrase “credibility marker.”• Succinct but powerful discussions of common problems faced by online creators. For example, the author includes a forthright and honest discussion of the imposter syndrome and how to overcome it without being a fraud. There is a chapter on writing great headlines. The book is filled with practical suggestions.This book contains a complete program that would cost thousands of dollars to get in personal instruction and assistance or even as part of a group or community. It’s your Baedeker Guide for serving others by turning your experience and expertise into useful digital resources (blogs, courses, podcasts, webinars). And the book also shows you how to make this work sustainable by getting paid.Finally, it’s yours for only $9.99. So, if you have access to a computer of any kind and you’re in or want to be in the insight sharing business, you should take advantage of this book.
