Mein Erfolgsrezept
Gene Simmons hat finanziell ausgesorgt, da er mit KISS eine der erfolgreichsten Rockbands gründete. Anders als viele Künstler, die trotz Hits in die Pleite geraten, wusste Simmons schon früh, wie man Ruhm und Reichtum erlangt. In einem unterhaltsamen und lehrreichen Buch teilt er sein Wissen. KISS' Erfolg basierte auf einem soliden Business-Plan und einer klaren Strategie, die Simmons und Paul Stanley von Anfang an verfolgten. Sie erkannten das kommerzielle Potenzial von Merchandise und entwickelten eine Marke, die sich durch das typische KISS-Make-up von der Konkurrenz abhob. Bis heute haben sie über 100 Millionen CDs und DVDs verkauft und tausende Merchandise-Produkte kreiert. Der Schlüssel zu ihrem Erfolg liegt in 13 einfachen Grundsätzen, die praktische Tipps für finanziellen Erfolg im 21. Jahrhundert bieten. Diese reichen von der optimalen Nutzung digitaler Medien über Networking bis hin zu Selbstmotivation und Selbsteinschätzung. Simmons erklärt, wie man die richtigen Ideen entwickelt, passende Geschäftspartner und Mentoren findet und aus Niederlagen lernt. Er illustriert seine Ratschläge mit Beispielen aus seinem eigenen Leben. Als Sohn armer israelischer Einwanderer verwirklichte er den amerikanischen Traum und zeigt, wie auch andere erfolgreich sein können.
