Launching Our Latest Coaching Book On Amazon: ‘Ultimate Life Lessons’
Our Coaching Book ‘Ultimate Life Lessons‘ Launches On Amazon
It seems quite a while ago that we kicked off this Joint Venture (JV) with Amazon best-selling author and top coach and mentor Tracy Repchuk, one of our former mentors.
We established this major JV on day one of our first ever cruise, this with Mike Filsaime and over 400 other top coaches, Internet Marketers and entrepreneurs, travelling around the Caribbean.
Marketers' Cruise-Donna Fox, Lou Edwards, Eve Grace-Kelly, Mike Filsaime, Tom Beal-January 2010
The concept of this new JV is that of:
- people sharing the life lessons or wisdom they have acquired during their lives,
- hence creating a multi-authored book of ‘life lessons’ for people to benefit from,
- carry out personal development and business coaching exercises we provide and thereby embed this learning and so improve their lives or business.
The book creation process in this instance is:
- we track down experts in their fields;
- contact them (not as easy as it sounds when they’re hugely popular!);
- introduce them to the concept of the book;
- show them samples of what life lessons we are contributing;
- agree that they will contribute to the book and agree a deadline for their contribution(s);
- progress-chase them for their contribution(s);
- create the book in a suitable order;
- send the assembled copy to the 30+ co-authors authors for proof-reading;
- proof-read the whole book again for errors;
- send the book out to leading / ‘authority’ figures to ask their opinion of it, i.e. solicit a testimonial if they like the book.
Sounds easy, right? Not! Successful people are very busy people.
Getting in touch with them is a challenge and persuading them to find time in their hectic schedules for your project ahead of their other projects and those that other folks are submitting to them for consideration as JVs is another obstacle, but happily for us, our superb co-authors really ‘got’ and loved the concept of our book, so they responded well. Not withstanding this, the whole project still took over 8 months to complete versus our initial estimate of 4 months, but, this is our first time of creating a multi-authored book, and there are over 30 very distinguished co-authors in our book! Plus, Jonathan Jay of SuccessTrack, The Coaching Academy (founder and former MD until he sold it) and the National Association of Business Owners, NABO, has written the foreword!
We’re really appreciative of and honored by the quality, achievements and support of the fantastic book co-authors we’ve assembled.
There are great lessons that they’ve passed on and from which we can all learn.
The coaching / personal development exercises will help to embed the learning from those life lessons and assist people to make changes in their lives to get the results they desire.
Our book launches today! Here’s to success, fulfilment and happiness for all our readers!
Our Ultimate Life Lessons book.
