Jake Steinfeld Partnering with Lions Gate Entertainment, Marquis Jet(R) and AMACOM on His New Book 'I've Seen a Lot of Famous People Naked, and They've Got Nothing On You!'

NEW YORK, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Global entrepreneur and fitness industry icon Jake "Body By Jake" Steinfeld knows the keys to a successful venture: creativity, energy, resilience, brand power, a don't-quit attitude, and teamwork. And AMACOM, the book publishing division of the American Management Association, working with Lions Gate Entertainment and Marquis Jet(R), is pulling all those elements together to promote Jake's new book, I've Seen a Lot of Famous People Naked, and They've Got Nothing On You!: Business Secrets from the Ultimate Street-Smart Entrepreneur (September 13, 2005; $21.95 hardcover).

Lions Gate Entertainment and Marquis Jet(R) have been involved with Jake and AMACOM to promote I'VE SEEN A LOT OF FAMOUS PEOPLE NAKED, AND THEY'VE GOT NOTHING ON YOU! from the earliest planning stages. "We are thrilled at the opportunity to partner with Jake Steinfeld on this compelling business book and potential television series. His 'street-smart' business skills are exactly what we aspire to at Lions Gate," said Kevin Beggs, President, Programming and Production, Lions Gate Television.

Bill Allard, long time friend and Chairman of Marquis Jet(R) said, "We were very pleased when Jake reached out to us to support this exciting project that has so many elements of life and business success. Jake is the epitome of the American entrepreneur and Marquis Jet(R) is honored to be part of the Live Your Dream contest."

The book is being promoted through the Live Your Dream consumer contest with a grand prize worth more than a quarter of a million dollars. Why the contest? Jake says, "The American Dream is not about working for Donald Trump. It's about creating and living your own dream."

"I'm psyched to team up with Marquis Jet(R), the 'Airline of The Entrepreneur', and Lions Gate Entertainment, the company that will bring this book to television." And he strongly believes that if he can do it, anyone can, and he wants to help make that dream a reality for one aspiring street- smart entrepreneur.

Contestants can enter the Live Your Dream contest online by going to http://www.aol.com/bizbyjake and submitting their own original idea for a new business. If selected as one of five finalists, they can win a trip to New York City, meet Jake, and prove to him that he or she has the hottest new street-smart entrepreneurial business idea. The Grand Prize includes $200,000 cash as seed money to fund the winner's business plan; a Marquis Jet Card(R), worth $50,000, good for ten hours of flight time on a Citation Ultra; and a trip to participate in the American Management Association's prestigious Course for Presidents and CEOs. Ken Dichter, Founder and CEO of Marquis Jet(R) stated "A large percentage of our Marquis Jet(R) Card owners are entrepreneurs whose time is their most precious commodity. We are looking forward to welcoming the newest entrepreneur and winner of the Live Your Dream contest to the Marquis Jet family."

The Live Your Dream contest has been kicked off with a nationally televised announcement on FOX & FRIENDS on September 13, 2005. FOX & FRIENDS will be following the contest with a series of feature segments over the next five months, and the live selection of the winner in February 2006. The five finalists will come to New York and personally pitch their street-smart business plan to Jake on FOX & FRIENDS. After the presentations, Jake will select the Grand Prize winner and fund his or her street-smart entrepreneurial dream with $200,000 in seed money. Jake will not own any part of the winner's business.

To support the book and contest, Lions Gate Entertainment has created an interactive "business boot camp" (http://www.bizbyjake.com/) to encourage registrants in the Live Your Dream contest. Jake will be adding his voice to audio blogs from the publicity tour, as well as providing viral online opportunities for his fans and readers alike to get tips from Jake on how to start and run a small business. Lions Gate Entertainment will be using many of the same best online marketing tactics it uses in building the buzz for new movies to support Jake's latest effort. In addition, they have bought the rights to create a reality TV series.

So what do Jake, Lions Gate Entertainment, AMACOM, and Marquis Jet(R) have in common? They're all respected and powerful brands that want to help thousands of readers -- and one lucky winner -- find spectacular success.
