Jack Trout is considered to be an expert in marketing and advertising and has a wealth of knowledge and experience in each. Mr. Trout began his career working for General Electrics advertising department and later was Divisional Advertising manager for Uniroyal.

I became aware of Jack Trout when my Dad gave me a book titled: "Horse Sense The Keys To Success Is Finding a Horse To Ride".I read that book so fast I think the book is still warm! What I found in that book was a simple idea that helped put me on course to find my horse to ride.

I think this is a very important idea to pass along to all you budding entrepreneurs, so it is worth another paragraph. Jack Trout co-authored that book with Al Ries. The simple thought to grasp is you need to find a horse, or "something" that will carry you to your success.

It isn't necessarily what you know that makes you successful. There are many very intelligent people that you'd not view as successes, at least in the financial aspect. You can find your horse within your "job", a mentor for example, or you can find that niche business area that you have expertise in and bring it forward to achieve your success.

The horse might be right around you but you are looking for something more "guaranteed", more "assured", or more "secret marketing concepts" when the real answers are just finding that horse to ride.You also might have difficulty accepting the concept that it isn't necessarily what you know that guarantees your success. Just look around your office or work environment, assuming you are still in a traditional "job" and note who is being promoted! Hope I did not strike too much of a nerve.

Jack Trout is currently president of Trout & Partners an advertising firm in Old Greenwich, Connecticut with other offices in 13 countries. Mr. jack Trout claims a client list including Fortune 500 Companies such as Merrill Lynch, AT&T, Xerox, Lotus, Repsol, and Southwest Airlines.
