CelebrityPress, a leading business marketing and finance book publishing company, has recently signed a publishing deal with Tracy Myers to release the book, ‘Uncle Frank Sez’ LIFE LESSONS FROM THE FRONT PORCH OF A SELF-MADE MAN!
Orlando, Fla. – February 25, 2011 – Tracy Myers, The Nations Premier Automotive Solutions Provider, has written the forthcoming book titled, ‘Uncle Frank Sez’ LIFE LESSONS FROM THE FRONT PORCH OF A SELF-MADE MAN! Nick Nanton, Esq. along with business partner, JW Dicks, Esq., recently signed a publishing deal with Tracy to contribute his expertise to the book, which will be released under their CelebrityPress™ imprint.
The forthcoming book, ‘Uncle Frank Sez’ LIFE LESSONS FROM THE FRONT PORCH OF A SELF-MADE MAN! Features the sayings of ‘Uncle Frank’. Everyone should have an Uncle Frank.
‘Uncle Frank’ gushes his wit and wisdom with an inimical ‘down home’ flavor. His sayings (‘Frankisms’) are not the kinds you would expect to hear at typical tea parties or in genteel ‘coffee-klatches’. They are, however, sage pieces of advice from a man who has lived life, understands human frailties including his own, and wants to give the rest of us the benefit of his hard-earned knowledge. It is his caring and ‘Frank’ way of passing along to us the “nuggets” of his experiences – to make us better and more successful people.
Uncle Frank’s salesmanship is anchored in love, wisdom, integrity and experience. His ‘Frankisms’ are to be savored, implemented and lived. They highlight the values of forthrightness, honesty, and planning – advice we don’t often get in a politically correct, ‘me first’ world, …and the kind of advice responsible parents or caring teachers pass along to their students. It’s like a “tough love” prescription for success!
If you are disciplined enough to adopt most of these ‘Frankisms’, some of which may be new to your way of thinking, you will be motivated to succeed with integrity. The ability to care about others while making a better life for yourself and your family are universal ideals, but one vehicle to get you there is expressed by Uncle Frank as: “ The standards set for you by others can’t be higher than the ones you set for yourself.” That is his version of the Golden Rule.
His final comment in the book on ‘quitting’ is one that none of us should ever forget! You need to read, learn and inwardly digest that one before you give up!
Other books recently released by CelebrityPress™ include Ignite Your Business with Kelly O’Neill, The Relationship Age featuring social media expert, Mari Smith; The New Masters of Real Estate: Getting Deals Done in the New Economy featuring real estate investment expert and mentor, Ron LeGrand; Game Changers: America’s Leading Entrepreneurs and How They’re Changing The Game, and You Can Too” and Counter-Attack with Brian Tracy.

Government pressure has caused Ford Motor Company to recall nearly 150,000 F-150 trucks to fix air bags that c
ould deploy without warning. This number is a fraction of the vehicles the government says should be called back and repaired.
Used Ford F-150 trucks from the model years 2005-2006 are being issued the recall for what the Dearborn, Mich., company calls a “relatively low risk” of the air bag deploying inadvertently.
Ford has been urged by the government to recall 1.3 million F-150s from the 2004-2006 model years. They cite 98 injuries from air bags deploying accidentally. Ford’s F-Series pickup trucks are the best-selling vehicle in America and that’s one of the reasons the recall is being closely watched.
Tracy Myers, owner of Winston-Salem, NC used car dealership Frank Myers Auto Maxx, said: “With the spectacular vehicles that Ford has been making over the past few years, their massive recall on their F-150 trucks have stunned America. While I’m sure that lots of used Ford truck owners that live in Winston Salem are concerned with the recall, it is my understanding that Ford is working to get this problem under control. I want to reassure our customers that are Ford truck drivers that we are committed to seeing them through this unfortunate situation. As part of that commitment, we are providing free inspections on any Ford F150 that will end on March 27th.”

February 19th, 2011 — Articles, Uncle Frank sez, Used Cars
So you’re in the market to buy a new car – are you? This can be quite a stressful time for many people.
Car expert Donna Kane from Hyundai Motors America says, “Buying a car doesn’t have to be so traumatic. By doing a little homework, the overwhelming process of purchasing a car – and actually getting the one you want at a good price – can become much less stressful.”
You see, the real secret to making the car buying process an easy, stress free and fun event is all in the initial research you do before you ever step foot on a car lot.
Have A Plan When Shopping For A Used Car
Many people believe that when the time comes to buy a car they have to start randomly hitting car dealerships, wandering aimlessly with no plan of attack.
That is NOT a smart strategy.
But you would be surprised at how many people use this exact method. This is probably why so many people feel stress and anxiety when buying a car.
As with anything in life, you are always the most uneasy and stressed-out by the things you are not prepared to do. Most of us feel uneasy about being in situations we are not prepared to handle.
This is precisely why I am giving you this information. I never want you to be stressed and uncomfortable around a car dealership again.
Car buying should be a fun and exciting process. It’s a big decision and one that you can get much pride and joy out of for many years to come.
Buying a car is an experience you can share with your friends, family and neighbors. And it should be a positive experience, not a negative one.
The opportunity that I have here is to educate you about what to look for, how to research and how to prepare yourself with all the decisions and choices you will have to make when buying a car.
After reading this information, you will be a Super-Power Car Buyer.
You’ll learn…
1) How to decide whether a new or used vehicle is right for you;
2) Why most millionaires don’t drive new cars and would never consider leasing;
3) How to get the car you’ve always wanted but didn’t think you could afford;
4) The good, bad, and the ugly truth about used car dealers;
5) How to pick the vehicle that’s right for you;
6) How to pick the best place to purchase your next automobile;
7) What to look for in a car to ensure it’s a quality vehicle and not a disguised hunk-o-junk;
8) Secret insider tips to negotiating the best deal;
9) The rules of automotive credit and how to qualify;
10) How to make your trade in appraise for double what its worth;
11) The simple steps to spotting common car scams faster than a speeding bullet.
So let’s get started, new friend. Over the next few weeks, we’ll walk side by side and I’ll show you everything you need to know.

Are you in the automotive industry and looking for the education needed to keep up with the latest trends in dealership operations and marketing? If so, make plans to attend the much-anticipated Automotive Marketing Boot Camp. It is scheduled on April 16-18, just prior to the 10th Digital Dealer Conference in Orlando Florida.

Just announced to speak at the Boot Camp is Tracy Myers, owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx, who is commonly referred to as The Nations Premier Automotive Solutions Provider. Best-Selling author and Sales Guru Tom Hopkins added that Myers “has an old marketing soul that’s reminiscent of a P.T. Barnum”. While the legendary Brian Tracy said that he is “a visionary…possibly to be compared to a Walt Disney for a new generation.”
Myers is also a Certified Master Dealer, an NIADA Eagle Award Winner and was the youngest ever recipient of the National Quality Dealer of the Year award by the NIADA, which is the highest obtainable honor in the used car industry. Frank Myers Auto Maxx, his dealership was recently recognized as the number one Small Businesses in NC by Business Leader Magazine, one of the Top 3 dealerships to work for in the country by The Dealer Business Journal and one of the Top 22 Independent Automotive Retailers in the United States by Auto Dealer Monthly Magazine.
He has also been a guest commentator on the FOX Business Network and has also been featured on NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX affiliates across the country.
Tracy’s presentation at The 2011 Automotive Marketing Boot Camp is titled YOU Are The Brand Stupid: How To Get Noticed, Gain Instant Credibility, Make Millions and Dominate Your Competition By Building Your Celebrity Expert Status, which is also the name of his upcoming book.
Automotive Marketing Boot Camp to Feature Keynote Speakers
Other workshop leaders this year include dealer principals and dealership employees that have stood above their peers in achieving excellence in their dealership’s digital marketing and sales strategies. Workshop leaders include Scott Falcone, Jeffrey Kershner, Andrew DiFeo, Hagen Durant, Scott Falcone, and Timothy Martell.
The Boot Camp is also attracting popular speakers with specialized skills including Jerry Thibeau, Brian Pasch, and Alex Snyder.
The Automotive Marketing Boot Camp delivers the knowledge and skills dealers need to create, execute and manage effective dealership processes. New to this year’s program will be added seminars on back-end marketing; how to better handle phone calls and leads to maximize lead conversion. The boot camp is perfect for General Managers and Internet Sales Managers. Last year, Boot Camp attendees posted rave reviews of their investment of time for this event.
The Automotive Marketing Boot Camp is very unique and effective because participants receive preparation materials in advance of the class and come fully prepared to engage in actual demonstrations. Participants use their own accounts during the classes so that they can then continue to work with them on their own long after the boot camp.
