Writing Alone or With A Collaborator I’m sure that at some stage of your life you have said ‘I’ve always wanted to write a book.’ Or if you have had a particularly interesting or challenging life, friends may have said top you ‘You should write a book.’ I believe there is a book in every one of us. The challenge is getting started. For most of us writing ended at school and the longest thing we would have ever written would have been a 2 to 3 page essay. So if you feel you do have a book in you – then Dan Poynter has written the ‘how-to’ manual for you starting with some questions: <ul style="margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">Can you author a book? And… </li> <li class="MsoNormal">Why do you want to write a book? </li> <li class="MsoNormal">What kind of book do you want to write? </li> <li class="MsoNormal">Will your topic be of interest to anyone?</li> </ul> Great questions. If you have your answers and you are going it alone, then the book shows the basic steps: <ul style="text-align: justify;"> <li>Preparation.  Getting ready; organisation and research</li> <li>The tools of the trade</li> <li>Revise, edit, revise, edit again</li> </ul> If you choose to work with a co-author then you will need to know: <ul style="margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">How to go about finding the right person/people </li> <li class="MsoNormal">Negotiating and creating a contract with the person or persons </li> </ul> Because writing can become all-consuming, the authors urge you to think about how shitting yourself away for hours at a time will affect your personal life. And finally, when the book is done – the authors help you to decide: <ul style="margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">To publish or </li> <li class="MsoNormal">To self-publish </li> </ul> So there it is. No reason now to look back and wish you had written that book. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Mindy Bingham is the author or co-author of 17 books. Choices, A Teen Woman's Guide to Self- Awareness and Personal Planning, first published in 1983, has sold over 500,000 copies so far. Challenges, the boys' version, was released in 1984. A teacher's guide, foreign rights and a lot of wellplaced book reviews soon followed. With more ideas than time, Mindy learned how to team up with a professional  researcher/developer and a professional writer to produce her  phenomenally successful books. Mindy is also the 15-year director of the Girls Club of Santa Barbara. Publishing began as a mission, turned into a fund-raiser and became a going business. Over the last ten years, these products have netted the Girls Club over a million dollars. Dan Poynter CSP fell into publishing. He spent eight years researching a labor of love. Realizing no publisher would be interested in a technical treatise on the parachute, he went directly to a printer and “self-published.” The book sold, the orders poured in and he suddenly found he was a publisher himself. Since 1969, he has written and published over 100 books on subjects ranging from parachuting to hang gliding to computers and publishing. In the publishing field, he is widely known for his best-selling The Self-Publishing Manual, How To Write, Print & Sell Your Own Book. Mindy and Dan were prompted to write this book because so many of their friends, noting their success, approached them for the secret. Now they are revealing to you the inside story on how to write a book, alone or with help so you too, can enjoy the good life of being a published author.

Why Running Your Business is No Different from Running Your Car Michael Smyth, a barrister uses several examples of ways that business can get into trouble. Using the example of Jason, a man who owns a VW that hasn’t had a proper service history and is starting to have mechanical problems, Jason realizes he doesn’t have a very saleable item. How like Jason’s VW is your business? Q:  Is your business a saleable asset (or are you stuck with it) Q:  Will your business survive a pre-purchase inspection? He then introduces Laura who thought she had covered all her legal bases when her business partner leaves and sets up in competition with her. Then we meet Judith whose business is finally starting to flourish when someone virtually copies her logo and company name.  Judith didn't have trademark protection. We meet Trevor who had built a business to sell when he was ready to retire, only to find out that, because he had been so hands-on, it wasn't a very saleable business.  He had extended credit to people and been slack at chasing debts.  Cash flow problems arose and occasionally he found difficulty in paying his employees. And finally we meet Amanda who made some terrible mistakes when dismissing one of her staff. This is an amazing little e.book full of practical tips and stories that will make you sit up and take notice if you too, are a small business. Learn from the mistakes of our heroes and heroines.

The Secret of Business Success Using the example of the famous book ‘The Secret’, the author talks about the  essence of the law of attraction and asks: <ul style="margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">Is positive thinking in business enough? </li> </ul> Smyth talks about the fact that the laws of gravity are immutable; we can use all the positive thinking in the world, but it won’t change those laws. He believes that business is like the laws of gravity. If you own a business, he suggests you have to do much more than think positively to make your business a success and he suggests some powerful do’s and don’ts: <ul style="margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">DO set goals and take action </li> <li class="MsoNormal">Don’t ‘wing’ it </li> <li class="MsoNormal">DO have good systems </li> </ul> The author covers four key business areas that are critical to staying in business: <ul style="margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">Cash flow. Having good sound financial systems; how to collect money and what to do if people renege on paying before debts kill your business </li> <li class="MsoNormal">How to get free credit so you can keep your cash-flow positive </li> <li class="MsoNormal">How to protect your IP being stolen by your employees </li> <li class="MsoNormal">How to set up a joint venture without exposing yourself to liability </li> </ul> As small business owners, we tend to be very busy working ‘in’ the business and can lose sight of the very life-blood of our business – cash flow and staff. Take on board Smyth’s very simple tip and you will have a good sound business model which should ride the predictable storms of being a small business.

Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn We all like to think we have a positive reputation. As adults, we go out of our way to come across as acceptable, desirable and worthy because we know our reputation can open doors or slam them shut. We’ve been judged by others on numerous occasions and learned, often through trial and error, how we need to behave in any given circumstance in order to have a ‘good’ reputation.

What Everyone Needs To Know About Making Money Online Truth and Lies:  What everyone needs to know about making money online is the ultimate A-Z of getting started online; of getting past all the hype that is peddled about being able to make a fortune online overnight with no investment of time or money. Both authors have built successful websites. Ann Andrews has built <a title="blocked::http://www.thecorporatetoolbox.com/" href="http://www.thecorporatetoolbox.com/">The Corporate Toolbox</a> and Grant Shields has built <a title="blocked::http://www.grabatrainingseat.co.nz/" href="http://www.grabatrainingseat.co.nz/">Grabatrainingseat</a>. They both chose completely different processes to do so. Ann acknowledged that she wasn’t a technology person and so brings in the expertise she needs while Grant built his site himself. Both acknowledge there is no one way to do this ‘online’ thing. However both also acknowledge that being ‘online’ is a way to get off the hours-for-dollars treadmill and turn knowledge into passive income. Ann covers: <ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">How to start a database; grow a database and leverage a database </li> <li class="MsoNormal">15 tips for turning knowledge into a million dollar revenue stream </li> <li class="MsoNormal">The power of FREE </li> <li class="MsoNormal">How to write an e.book and how to leverage an e.book </li> <li class="MsoNormal">How one man earns US$20,000 per month for putting everything he does online for FREE </li> </ul> Grant covers: <ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">The 10 basic steps to building a website yourself </li> <li class="MsoNormal">A comprehensive list of sites to visit and study </li> <li class="MsoNormal">All the sites you can access to build your website almost for FREE </li> </ul> If you are an absolute beginner in the ‘web’ world yet realize that you need to leverage your business income, then this book will set y9ou off on the right track and save you thousands of dollars so you don’t have to make the mistakes the authors made.

How To Successfully Negotiate Regardless Of Power Bases Structural Analysis theory maintains the opinion that “more powerful parties are better able to control the negotiation process and obtain results to their liking; negotiations only confirm a given power distribution”. Yet weak parties not only take on stronger ones in negotiation, they often emerge with sizable- even better than expected- results.     How is that possible? The author takes his reader through the crucial elements of a negotiation process: <ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">Tactics used in negotiation </li> <li class="MsoNormal">Relevant tactics as per the definition of negotiation </li> <li class="MsoNormal">Power and its effect on the outcome of a negotiation </li> <li class="MsoNormal">How to negotiate </li> <li class="MsoNormal">The relevance of influence </li> <li class="MsoNormal">Planning a negotiation strategy </li> <li class="MsoNormal">Understanding the need for tactics </li> <li class="MsoNormal">The art of asking questions to influence</li> </ul> Cyriac goes on to cite Robert Cialdini’s 6 laws of negotiating: <ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal">The Law of reciprocity </li> <li class="MsoNormal">The Law of commitment and consistency </li> <li class="MsoNormal">The Law of liking </li> <li class="MsoNormal">The Law of scarcity </li> <li class="MsoNormal">The Law of authority </li> <li class="MsoNormal">The Law of social proof</li> </ul> And even uses real life wisdom and examples from as far back as Sun Tsu in The Art of War who states, “Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory” through to the more modern negotiation between Israel and Egypt, which resulted in Camp David, 1979, example of the usage of the law of authority or expert influence of the USA. And for business examples he quotes Lee Iacocca’s negotiation with the Congress for a loan guarantee in 1979 as being an excellent example of the power of questions when negotiating. Iacocca posed the question, “would this country really be better off if Chrysler folded and the nation’s unemployment rate went up another half of one percent overnight? Would free enterprise really be served if Chrysler failed and tens of thousands of jobs were lost abroad?” If you are involved in negotiating; whether it is a small scale negotiation or something as large and strategic as the future of your industry, you would be well served by reading this amazing e.book.

Possible New Careers Emerging from Advances in Science and Technology (2010 – 2030) Final Report. BACKGROUND   The purpose of the study conducted by the authors was to highlight examples of the kinds of jobs, careers and professions that could result from advances in science and technology in the period from 2010 to 2030.   The report was commissioned as part of the Science: [So what? So everything <<a href="http://www.npl.co.uk/educate-explore/science-so-what-so-everything/">http://www.npl.co.uk/educate-explore/science-so-what-so-everything/</a>> ] campaign which aims to promote public interest in science and engineering and highlight their importance to the UK‘s future. Science: (So what? So everything) is funded by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills and supported by a wide range of individuals and organisations.   The aim was to identify a sample of key science and technology trends and developments that could occur over the next twenty years and create a timeline highlighting when such developments may come to maturity.   A process of consultation was used to identify an initial long list of future jobs from which twenty were selected and profiled. These profiles formed the basis of an online survey.   The survey focused on assessing the popularity, job impact, environmental impact, educational benefits, developing country benefits, financial rewards and attractiveness of the twenty jobs. The survey attracted 486 responses from 58 countries on 6 continents - including 104 from the UK - representing 21% of the total sample.   This report covers: <ul> <li>The world in 2030 </li> <li>The science and technology horizon - key trends </li> <li>The shape of jobs to come - key implications </li> <li>Global survey findings </li> <li>Conclusions and recommendations </li> <li>The science and technology timeline 2010 - 2030 </li> </ul> If you are in business, then understanding the implications of this report could be vital to the future survival of your business. Yes it is a report that was done in the UK, but the future will be pretty much the same for all of us. Well worth reading and digesting.

Winner of the John Templeton Essay contest. The Templeton Foundation's prizes have been called the "Nobel Prize for Religious Research"— not to indicate any formal connection to the Nobel Foundation, but to suggest a comparable level of prestige in a different field. (For instance, Mother Teresa received a Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion six years before she received her Nobel Peace Prize.) So when the Foundation announced a contest for the most inspiring essay on life's purpose, with all the prestige of the Templeton name and a half a million dollars in cash awards, they attracted a lot of attention. 7,351 essays were submitted from 97 countries. The blue-ribbon panel of judges (including Purpose-Driven Life author Rick Warren) would judge the essays on their merits alone, without knowing who the authors were: professional writers, religious leaders, and complete unknowns were all on a level playing field. When the winners were announced, the Templeton Foundation took out full-pages ads in major newspapers and magazines to announce ten winners of $10,000 each; four winners of $25,000 each; four winners of $50,000 each; and one Grand Prize Winner of $100,000.   The Grand Prize Winner was a man who had never written a book, never published an article in a major journal, never sought or found national fame of any kind: a man who had spent his life searching for answers to the spiritual questions that had plagued him since his youth.   The man's name was August Turak. The essay was entitled "Brother John."   The essay tells the story of Turak's journey to a Trappist Monastery: of his personal encounter with a group of men who have devoted their lives unflinchingly to God.   The essay was subsequently featured in the anthologies Best of Christian Writing and Best of Catholic Writing, both available for a price of around $30. More importantly, the essay attracted the attention of Harper Collins, one of the largest and most famous publishing houses in the world. Harper Collins approached Turak about a book, which he is now working on, tentatively entitled Not Less Than Everything. The book will describe Turak's remarkable life, and the sacrifices he made along the way. It will more fully develop many of the themes first stated in "Brother John."

Five Steps to Creating the Life You Want - A Coaching Programme Take Five welcomes you to a 5 step process which will help you attain the life you want to live. Leslie Hamilton assures the reader that they have the power within themselves to make their vision and aspirations come true.   This booklet/interactive workbook is designed to be your step-by-step guide to discovering how to get from where you are now to where you want, and deserve to be in life, in your career and even in your business.   The Five Steps process to Creating the Life You Want, can be used in several ways: <ul> <li>As a Menu (pick and choose what you will use) </li> <li>As a To-do List (schedule the dates to review each section) or </li> <li>As a Check-off List which requires some form of action. </li> </ul> Each section of the process is peppered with challenging questions and the author strongly recommends that after you contemplate the appropriate answers to the questions, that you schedule the necessary time in your calendar to complete the various tasks.   And of course this is where life becomes difficult because thinking alone will not get you the life of your dreams - action is required.   The author also suggests that the reader may find it helpful to work through this process with a partner, friend or professional coach because sharing the process enables the reader to create a higher level of accountability while also acquiring feedback, encouragement and input.   Sharing the process with someone else will also add to the fun and could even be done as a joint exercise! After many years coaching people the author readily acknowledges that life is never simple. However, by taking these Five Steps, she assures the reader that they will be able to simplify some of the complex issues that keep people from living the life of their dreams.   This interactive e.book will provide a framework and a map for moving forward in whichever area of your life you feel stuck, disempowered or unmotivated.
