The “Oprah Factor” and how you can create your own “ X Factor”
In last week’s blog post I shared with you how Meredith and I were so very fortunate enough to attend a taping of one of Oprah Winfrey’s last shows. (Here’s the link: Are you giving your customers/clients and Oprah experience?) It was so exciting to be a part of that experience. I also talked last week about why Oprah is so phenomenally successful and popular. It is because she focuses on giving her audience what they want.

In my last blog, which I got a ton of great…
