Interview With Author Robert Cohen
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am the founder and sole owner of a high-end custom cabinetry business in South Florida for almost 19 years. In addition to being an expert in the trade of Cabinetry, I enjoy teaching best business practices to other business owners as well.
I have taught various business owners how to more efficiently and effectively manage their business for greater peace and profitability. I have dual Bachelor’s degrees in Exercise Physiology and Sports Psychology from Springfield College in MA. I have coached and taught at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, the University of Richmond as well as for the Department of Defense.
As a strength and condition coach, I taught athletes and special operators how to train, eat, process psychologically and even sleep effectively so as to maximize their performance. In February of 2021, I made the decision to take my hands off the tools and use my experience in training and coaching to make other business owners more efficient, effective and profitable. Recently, I returned to the classroom online; this time, as a Course Creator and Author. I published my first e-book “How to become someone your boss cannot live without”. Many more e books and courses are in the works.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My e-book is called “Rapid Workplace Advancement. How to be someone your employer can’t live without”.
Worldwide you will hear every employer complain about their ability to find enough “good employees”. Likewise, many people who are looking for a job or a promotion just don’t know what exactly they can do to stand out at work and get promoted. They spend years of their life not even realizing the full potential of their workplace and themselves. That made me create my e-book, which is step-by-step guide on how to become an ultimate employee without being a slave to the company. For the management and the business owners this book became a guide on how to find and train great employees.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Ideal Team Player and 5 Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni were couple of many books which inspired me to write my own book. As a business owner I managed the teams, hired, trained and unfortunately fired too many people. As a business coach I worked with many businesses to help them grow and scale. I decided to share all my experience and create the ultimate and fullest guide for employees which I’ve never seen in any book.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on my big online course as well as on my second book which I will officially announce on my Instagram page @therobertcohen.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Advertisement on social media.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Try to connect with your audience and speak their language.
What are you reading now?
I’m currently reading my new e-book while I’m writing it, so nothing distracts me from the process. I have a list of new books I will start reading after I finish mine. I’ll share the list in my Instagram.
What’s next for you as a writer?
To finish my next e-book and to launch the online course so I help people not only advance on a workplace but to get any goal they set, following their own strategy.
