Writing the first book didn’t detract, it extraordinarily elevated the author’s game

Writing the first book didn’t detract, it extraordinarily elevated the author’s game.

 

Live within your means.

We hear this about money all the time.

But we never do. We keep trying to make more of it.

Rat race.

What if…

What if we thought of living within our means to translate into, live within your managerial comfort level?

Strive to a certain point and then claim it:

‘a great place to be’

And then get busy being remarkable there.

The word Disney is not mentioned once

This morning, the first post sharing the news.

(sure it happened 100 days ago. And yes, no one blogs like this. Blah, blah, blah, right?)

Has anyone ever worked – say 34 years – for a moment to finally say, it’s done. It’s available online?

The word Disney is not mentioned once.

No reference whatsoever.

The most under rated piece of peace of mind that could ever be placed in a book is what I was able to leave out.

Some book updates while it is at the Tennessee printer

Mid Life Celebration target market description
Yes, all 35 – 65 year olds. (and anyone planning to reach that age range someday)

 

The book is at the printer in Tennessee. Some updates:

  • a printing error set everything back one month
  • it was like pulling teeth (painful) to feel like the publishing agent was in my shoes
  • feeling so strong for finally going through with the promise to publish
  • feeling so nervous for finally going through with the promise to publish
  • working on logos
  • working on backend email stuff, using Aweber
  • working on a bunch of things actually

Hoping this milestone will inspire you to keep battling your fears.

Are we who we say we are, and who do we say we are?

Japanese owl symbolism
Owls are wise and in this size, also a choking hazard.

 

Are we who we say we are, and who do we say we are?

We have maybe a dozen important roles, many of them dictated by our life – spouse, partner, child, relative, neighbor, volunteer, and so on. Now think about what we do that pays our bills…

What would we say we do? And what would we say we plan to do when we stop (retire) doing that?

For example, I am a writer.

Live like you mean it!
