Terry’s Recommendations and Resources

Over the years, many people have asked me about products I recommend.  These are products that I’ve tested and found to be useful.  I either have used or own these. Some of them have been given to me.  Others I’ve purchased.   And yes, for some of these products, I’m an affiliate and can make a commission from your purchase.  However, I make sure that I only recommend those items that I believe are really good.

Yes, this is a disclaimer and fully in compliance with the folks at the US Federal Trade Commission that I am giving full disclosure.  There— that should take care of the legal requirements!

If you have any questions and any of the items here, please contact me through email, Terry@TerryBrock.com

Enjoy!

Web Development I rely on a company called Cold Pizza Design for a lot of my development. They have helped me enormously and I highly recommend them.Cold Pizza Design
Resources from Frank FurnessThis site has a lot of resources for speakers, trainers, coaches and authors. Great site where you'll get a lot of good informationFrank Furness Resources
Barter TradingI use Tradebank to get more business. It is a great way to use excess capacity. Check into it to build more business.Barter is Better with Tradebank
The Camcorder I use - Sanyo Xacti 1010 - Really NiceThis is the one I use for my stills and for video. I highly recommend it. It takes pictures up to 10 Megapixels, HD quality video (1080p) and is very small to carry. Also (really important!) it allows for an external microphone. For speakers, coaches and trainers --- this is the one!
The Yeti Microphone from Blue MicrophonesThis is one I have and use regularly. The sound is deep, rich and professional. If you want top-of-the-line audio quality, this is your choice. I use it --- and love it!
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon HillThis is the classic from Napoleon Hill who sat at the feet of Andrew Carnegie learning about the philosophy of creating wealth. Then Hill interviewed hundreds of successful people over 20 years learning how they created wealth. This information is distilled for you in these pages. Millions have read it and many have become rich as a result. This is one you must read in life. I can't recommend this enough!
ABC's of Getting Unstuck by Richard OppenheimRich is a good buddy of mine and this is a great book for you. Rich shows specific steps you can take to get out of that "yuck" that can hold you back. A quick and easy read, this is one that can help you to get moving when you can't on your own.
PC Fixer from Digital Support Corporation. Remote Support by ExpertsGreat Support for Computers. Get help and fix your computer instantlyPC Fixer
Corsair 32GB USB Flash DriveThis is a drive I use regularly to hold a great deal of data. It is 32GB so it is large enough to hold a lot of presentations, books, audios and even videos. Corsair gave me this one to evaluate and I have to give it a strong "BUY!" signal based on using it and carrying it around for a long time. Available now through Amazon.com (right).
Fujitsu 1300 ScannerI received this one from Fujitsu and have been delighted with it. It works with both Mac and Windows machines. It is designed to carry with you on the road as well as work in the office. It scans front and back, in color, Black & White and Grayscale. It scans both sides of the document and does an 8.5 X 11 paper in just a few seconds. I use it regularly and it has helped me to be more organized and more in touch with what I need to do.
My Sony P-Series Computer --Tiny little Wonder Machine!This is the Sony VGN-P588E. I've had this over a year now and love it. It is incredibly small, less than 1 lb. in weight and is a full Windows computer. Not a speed demon but it has worked beautifully for me on airplanes --- yes, even in the middle seat on a wobbly tray table. For a second computer it is very nice. Word processing and access the Net are its two biggest features for me.
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn RandThis is one of the most profound and influential books ever written. Even though it was written by the Russian immigrant Ayn Rand in 1957, it rings true today more than ever. This work of fiction has transformed the lives of many since then. Warning: Don't read it unless you are ready for your life to change --- for the better. Get this one and enjoy!
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor DostoevskyThis book gives a great insight into human nature, dramatic tension with detailed and believable human characters.
The One Minute Negotiator by Don Hutson, George Lucas, Ken BlanchardSimple Steps to Reach Better Agreements. This book teaches you four viable strategies and shows how to choose the one best suited to the situation, your own inclinations, and the strategy being used by the other side.
Bath PondThis is a fabulous book with a great story. It is written by my friend Lowell Teal who has four of these books in his "Bath Pond" series. These novels tell a story of success, challenges and overcoming adversity. The setting is a mythical Central Florida family who ran a business and learned many lessons. You'll be able to apply many of these lessons in your own life. I cried at the end of this one thinking about how profound the message was! I can't wait till they bring this one out as a movie. For now, get this first in the series and then treat yourself to the others. You will be glad you read and enjoyed the Bath Pond series by Lowell Teal.

Wow, Terry–

Per usual, you have searched though and tested a myriad of products and services, and have come up with the ones that are best for our professional lives–and our budgets.

Thanks for posting this list, which I just discovered. I’m going to look into these further before the day is done.

All the best,

Bill

You are welcome, Shaun. Glad to be of assistance. I believe that life is better when we help others to become the best they can be. By doing that we help ourselves. Value for Value is the way to live life without hurting ourselves or others. I think Howard Roark’s speech in Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead says it well. Great book that echos what you’re syaing. Thanx for stopping by. I look forward to seeing you visit again. – Terry

This thanks is for being the people oriented person you are; always giving insight and help to others without asking for a monetary benefit but for a mere email so that you can reach out to us.
Thank you Terry, I strive to always give assistance to anyone in any walk of life but knowing that there are others in the world willing to help without asking for anything, gives a much needed “chin up” to me throughout my day.
Thanks big guy!

Thank you so much Terry! I’ve needed this for years. This makes it so easy for people to see what you – the techno-geek-guru – are recommending as the latest and greatest tools for people to use. I also love the book recommendations. This will be a great time and money saver for many people who look to you for advice on tools that can help them develop better business relationships.
