A Very Important Message
A Very Important Message

Ever heard the phrase, “Don’t die with a book in you”?

Have you ever dreamt of writing a book?

It’s way more work than people think.  And yet, it’s way less work than people think. A paradox that only someone who’s done it can know.

Found a LinkedIn connection, Susan Harrow, who blogs about these types of things too. Wanted to share her perspective with you.

Click here to read Susan Harrow’s article, “Write a Book Fast and Earn Big Money in the Process”. It’s a bit on the salesy-side, but offers a perspective different from mine.

PS.  Do you still remember the important message from the top?

(Don’t die with a book in you)

One more thing, if you’ve never written a book before, and think you can in 90 days and make a ton of money, God Bless you.  Odds are, you will never get started, and if you do get started, you’ll never finish.

This is simply the way life works. If you disagree with this, please feel free to send a copy of your first book by May 1, 2010, and then I’ll confess to being a liar.  Deal?

“You’re Probably Afraid Where You Stand”

Would this be good on a business card?

As a slogan?

As a conversation starter?

As a kick in the ask pants?

What Does It Take For These

Best of the Best = Gold Medal
Best of the Best = Gold Medal

What does it take for these accolades:

  • Person of the Year – Ben Bernachi
  • Athlete of the Decade – Tiger Woods
  • Top You Tube views – Susan Boyle

The last one, top You Tube views is amazing because of the staggering odds against it ever happening.

  • 120,000,000 views
  • More than 2nd, 3rd, & 4th most viewed combined
  • Before last year, who the heck is Susan Boyle?

For everyone who isn’t embracing the Internet, you still have time.

Yesterday’s announcement of the iPad is just another indication the world is changing.

Embrace it or ignore it?

Pick one.
