Mid Life Celebration: rethink • reprioritize • recommit is being delivered today. Ten copies. In a UPS box.

Open box, make sure everything is the way it should be. Then email Xulon Press with a message to proceed with the print order. This will also green light Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Google Books, and format for Kindle.

Await copies (before Thanksgiving?).

Another typical day in America, a place where anyone can be anything.

Praying for wisdom on an obscure thing

What are some of the most obscure things we might pray for? You know, things far, far off the generally accepted and most popular lists – healing, love, comfort, compassion, forgiveness and so on.

What about obscure things? Topics or subjects unknown to most?

Praying for something obscure? Yes. Praying for wisdom with book pricing on Amazon.

Bear with me. So much going on (for so long) on the back end that no one can prepare an entrepreneurial author and speaker for.

Was the 34-year wait worth it?

It has been a long, quiet and often lonely journey

 

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for bringing the catalyst for personal responsibility transformation to the production phase.

Was the 34-year wait worth it?

In many ways Father, this is Your will, not mine.

The pressure to do things well tempts us to not

The pressure to do things well tempts us to not. At a certain point a startup (or anyone) has to make decisions that what they have is good enough to ship.

Because shipping eventually becomes more important than perfection.

With yesterday’s manuscript review in hand, Xulon Press made an offer for a copyediting service (for an additional fee).

The choice is have a book in hand (for sale to the world) by Thanksgiving but with potential errors. Or have a flawless book that might not be for sale until the end of the year.

Praying for wisdom and courage.

What happens when we do the polar opposite of what we feel like doing?

What strategy works best depends on what the other person does.

 

Torn between saying something (like a concern or complaint) or ordering flowers. It should take 10-15 days he said. Today is day 22. Way past due.

Asked politely for an update on the 16th day.

No response back. Nothing.

Complaining is a drag.

For everyone.

What happens when we do the polar opposite of what we feel like doing (i.e. complaining)?

Does it become a joy for everyone?
