Hello All! I am transitioning from 50yrs of manufacturing to writing. My first novel has been completed, submitted, and I'm awaiting news regarding its acceptability for publishing. For any of you considering the same move, or for those of you struggling to be creative with work related publications, I recommend this book, The Novel Matrix, by Brad Pauquette. I'm a "process girl", and this is a process method for writing a novel. Please reach out if you have questions, or you'd like to chat about why this is the BEST method I've seen yet! The book is currently available through Amazon. Barbi

Did you know that reading fiction can enhance your professional skills? When we dive into a good novel, we’re not just escaping into another world—we’re training our brains to think creatively, empathize with different perspectives, and sharpen our problem-solving skills. For example, reading a complex story like "The Count of Monte Cristo" helped me become a better strategist. As I followed the twists and turns of the plot, I learned how to anticipate different outcomes, stay patient, and think several steps ahead—skills that are crucial for each manager. So, the next time you pick up a fiction book, remember—you’re not just enjoying a story, you’re also investing in your own professional growth! What’s the last fiction book you read that made an impact on your work? Drop it in the comments! 👇

Book Readings Update: Book 50 completed for 2024* > "𝗖𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗧𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲," by Stan Rose (2024) - non-fiction Why did I select this book to read? When this book hit my radar, it was available in Kindle version for 99 cents (and still is as of last check today). With limited reviews, it was highly rated, and sounded like a topic (genomics engineering) I know nothing about ... so an educational opportunity. What's it about? Stan Rose is a Ph.D. biologist, life sciences executive, and serial entrepreneur. He has created (and sold) a number of businesses related to DNA analysis and genomics. As fate would have it, he needed a kidney transplant, and the intersection of this health needs and career avocation intersected. This book is Stan Rose's memoir of his life and business experiences. My review: Hmmm. Parts of this book were quite educational and engaging, and other parts were "skimmable." I found myself getting a bit bored during the names, places, and details of some of the various entrepreneurial business ventures. But still a worthwhile read. My rating: 3.5 Amazon rating: 4.8 (105 ratings) Goodreads rating: 4.73 (11 ratings) Currently reading: > "𝗜𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗲," by William Kent Krueger (1998) - fiction (~90% done) > "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱," by Jonathan Haidt (2012) - non-fiction (~70% done) > "𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀," by Mark Greaney (2021) - fiction (~65% done) > "𝗧𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵," by Lisette Brodey (2023) - fiction (~35% done) > "𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄," by Pedro Uria-Recio (2024) - non-fiction (just starting) *My goal for this year is 57 books. Remaining ahead of pace.

What book are you reading currently and why did you choose it? 🖋 How does it feel when you learn something new? 🤔 Do you feel like you have the all answers?🥰 Do you feel like the next innovator? 🫡 Whichever way you feel, with time, you also see how less you know😮💨 and your thirst for more cannot be quenched by the same volume of knowledge. If the brain absorbs knowledge, then maybe one day, it will be flaccid, I think knowledge is the material of its formation. What's your current read and why that book?

I wrote my first book after a major business failure in 2008 and made every mistake imaginable. Since then I've become a Wall Street Journal Best-Selling Author with appearances on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, etc. In the last 12 years, my company has ghostwritten and launched over 2000 bestsellers, including clients like Jay Abraham, Russell Brunson, and Kevin Harrington of Shark Tank. Here's my best advice if you're trying to become a published author: 1️⃣ Start Now: The best time to write a book was 10 years ago, the second best time is today. Many aspiring authors have delayed their dream to publish for years, even decades. If you’re waiting for the perfect moment, it won’t come—you need to start today. If feasible, hiring help can significantly speed up the process and enhance the quality of your book. 2️⃣ Think Beyond the Book: Remember, publishing your book isn't the finish line; it's the starting gate. The average book sells 250 copies in its lifetime. The real work begins after you publish. Your task is to market your book, to use it as a tool to open doors, create opportunities, and get it into as many hands as possible. 3️⃣ Focus on the Reader, Not Just Your Story: One common pitfall for new authors is focusing too much on their own stories. While your experiences are important, it's crucial to frame your book in a way that resonates with your readers. They are primarily interested in how your story or expertise can benefit THEM, not just in your personal journey. Tell your story in a way that connects, resonates, and provides value to others. Start writing, keep your audience in mind, and remember that the end of the writing process is just the beginning of your journey as an author.
