Robert Skrob’s Summary
Marketing Guru with extensive entrepreneuerial background within multiple industries. Interested in developing strategies and ideas, providing business coaching, marketing, consulting, and copywriting services to info-marketers.
I started my first business at the age of 23. Since then I have become a "serial entrepreneur" in several industries and have been appointed by Florida Governor, Jeb Bush, to the Florida Tourism Commission; the board that oversees the $78 million dollar marketing effort to convince tourists to make Florida their vacation destination.
Although I achieved CPA and CAE certificates early on in my career, my greatest interest lies in marketing and helping info-marketers accelerate their businesses quickly, manage them more efficiently, and attain greater profits.
It is in "The Official Get Rich Guide to Information Marketing, How to Build a Million Dollar Business Within 12 Months", my first book, that emphasizes this focus. Published in Nov 2007 and co-authored with Dan Kennedy and Bill Glazer, it entered Barnes & Noble's best sellers as the #2 business book.
Currently I am working on a new series of books; the first book scheduled to be published later this year.
In addition, coordinating several events, seminars, and training programs each year, and hosting a weekly national talk radio show, known as the Business Profits Radio, fills in much of my time teaching business owners how to achieve higher profits, yet spend less time on their business.
Apart from business, the rest of my time I spend enjoying fun activities, parties, parks, and theaters with my wife and children. Myself, I enjoy Partagas #10 cigars and reading books.
