The Blog-to-Book Story

Effecting change is easier said than done. So, to make the process simple and straightforward throughout her popular blog, ChunkofChange.com, Olga offers a wide variety of hands-on tips, tricks, helps, and hints that make a meaningful difference in the way a business operates.

Though there are a host of business books offering tips and tricks, most of them are category-specific (advertising, social media, etc.) or fall into the realm of professional self-help. Shockingly few business books combine easy “how to” advice with tangible outcomes—and even fewer that make the process enjoyable and fun to read.

Luckily, Chunk of Change is all of those things–and more! Created with the busy business owner in mind, Chunk of Change is written in a tutorial style that makes each chapter a quick read enjoyable and stress-free.

Because of its ability to guide executives through meaningful changes in both perspective and process, Chunk of Change promises to become a trusted source for decision-makers in every industry.

About Olga Mizrahi

For the past 17 years, marketing message and design expert Olga Mizrahi has worked as a change agent, serving as the "first" in every one of her previous positions, both in corporate and academia. She was the first web design professor for University of California, Irvine Extension and Coastline Community College; the first web developer and new media lead for bond fund giant PIMCO; the first e-commerce director for a nationwide catalog retailer, which was eventually bought out by a Fortune 500; and the first to bring many contemporary retail brands, like Splendid and William Rast, online direct-to-consumer.

After earning her MBA from Pepperdine University, Olga started a successful marketing and web design agency, ohso! design, in Long Beach, CA, which was the first to take dozens of small businesses in the LA and OC area to the next level. As a result, she was recently named one of the Long Beach Post’s first “30 Women To Watch.” Olga’s popular blog has led her to numerous speaking engagements on marketing strategy, including the California Women’s Conference, TedX Irvine, and the Edge Series in Southern California.

Q&A with Olga Mizrahi, Blogger, Marketing Expert, and Author of Chunk of Change

Why did you decide to write Chunk of Change?
I decided to write Chunk of Change because I saw that there was a need for a business advice book that really gets to the heart of many issues important to business owners. In all of Chunk of Change’s chapters, I’ve emphasized how easy it is truly is to make small changes that add up big-time for business owners and executives.

How should readers use your book?
Readers are welcome to skip chapters and go straight to whatever topics are most important to them.

How do each of the small changes add up?
Each tip is a small but significant tweak that any business owner can make in their business strategy. Whether it relates to dealing with online reviews or focuses on how you can capitalize on your unique value proposition, every tip has an aim to have a positive impact on past, current, and future customers, which has a direct and measurable result on the bottom line overall.

How did you choose what topics to cover in your book?
As a business owner myself, I understand all of the marketing and management demands associated with having a successful business, and kept them in mind while writing Chunk of Change. Thus, every tip was specially selected to be included in my Chunk of Change book to make a complete collection of powerful hints and tricks to help as many businesses as possible.

Press and Awards

In recognition of the success of Chunk of Change, Olga was recently honored as one of the Long Beach Post’s 30 Women to Watch, out of over four hundred nominees. This group of women was chosen by the Long Beach community for their effective, meaningful contributions.


In addition, Olga has been featured in a recent Bank of America Small Business Online Community article titled Smartphone as Right Hand Man: Can New Virtual Assistants Replace the Real Thing?, Touchpointe’s Throw Away Your Mission Statement, and Beehooved’s Embrace the F-Word.

 

Dynamic Female Speaker

Olga brings a spark to every conversation and presentation she delivers. She has a way of getting her point across in a no nonsense clear precise way. She has you thinking outside the box and inspires and motivates you to see the potential in every situation and yourself. The presentation she delivered to the California Women’s Conference 2012 was well received and earned great applause. Her wisdom never fails to provide relevant information and because of her clarity, she helps others see their potential.
-Rose Tafoya, Program Director

The solid platform Olga Mizrahi established over the past two years has prepared her well for high-profile speaking engagements such as a recent panel at the California Women’s Conference and an upcoming talk at TEDx Irvine and expert appearances (like the Santa Barbara Business Expo) that complement the marketing and PR efforts related to the book.
