Dominator Found In Philippines

I have been communicating with a reader from the Philippines for a while now. His name is Nikko and he actually wrote in to the authors to tell them how he enjoyed the book. You can read Nikko’s review here. In his review, he actually said that if we wanted to launch the book there, he would definitely help us.

Well, you know, as what the authors have talked about in the first two chapters of the book: “It’s easy to say, ‘Yes, I commit to do whatever it takes to achieve the results I want.’” And so it is easy to dismiss some stranger’s help as lip service… but then again, most people would probably have never met someone like Nikko before in their life. When I started communicating with Nikko after the authors personally replied to his email, he immediately went into high gear.

He spoke to key people from entrepreneurial organisations in the Philippines and managed to get us a confirmed book review in Entrepreneur Magazine for its future issue. Then he also sought out the purchasing people in the major bookstores in Philippines to talk to them about bringing the book there. And one of the most amazing parts? He had to lend them his one precious copy for their review and passed it around to the different people as that was the only copy he had!

So armed with only one book, loads of enthusiasm and truckloads of self-initiative, Nikko managed to get two of Philippines major bookstores to order our books! Come July, Fully Booked and National Bookstore will be carrying Secrets To Dominate Your Niche on their bookshelves. But I’ll share more about the book launch in Philippines in another post because this one is a tribute to Nikko.

Back to Nikko then… not only did he manage to get the bookstores to order the books, but he also garnered interviews with the press to cover the launch of the book there, set up meeting with key business people to promote the book, sent out countless emails to his friends to invite them for the launch, and he even managed to find time to get banners printed and delivered to the book launch venue! Oh, and I think I forgot to mention that he is a FULLTIME young working adult (he’s only 23!)!

Just one example of how he keep impressing us (the authors and myself). Earlier, Fully Booked (whom Nikko approached to hold a book launch) wasn’t able to commit to doing a launch as they weren’t sure when the books would arrive. But Nikko asked me whether I had any promotional materials and asked if I could send him some of them. I emailed our banner designs to him. In my email, I asked why he wanted the banner designs and what he was planning to do with them. He replied, “Just in case Fully Booked agrees to do the book launch.”

One day after I emailed him the banner designs, he told me that Fully Booked agreed to do the book launch. Within that two days of their confirmation, he had already made the appropriate changes to banner design, got them printed and delivered to the different outlets for display! NOTE: Banner on the left below is the original one we use in Singapore and banner on the right is the one Nikko had revised.

And I don’t know how Nikko did it but Fully Booked, where we will be having the launch, also put up a very nice write up about Secrets To Dominate Your Niche on their website’s EVENTS page.

There are so many things that I would like to share about what this one amazing reader from Philippines have achieved within such a short period of time. But I think that this one phrase sums it up nicely. So Nikko, we (the authors and myself) would really like to thank you for making this Philippines debut possible.

“You are a true blue NICHE DOMINATOR!”
