I recently wrote a book called The Geezer’s Guide to Creating and Selling Ebooks. It was a tough book to write, but I’m proud of it!
A friend of mine read the book and said she loved it- and that she found a typo in the section called Research Your Idea for Competition. Here is the typo she found:
“Hopefully you will be surprised at your lack of completion…”
I think you mean “lack of competition” here (though I can totally relate to the way it’s currently written:)

That is pretty funny! I am much more worried about completion than competition. We can all deal with competition- what we can’t deal with is a lack of COMPLETION. My goal is to finish what I start- even when it takes me twenty years and there is a lot of competition!

PS: I always knew I wanted to write books- I finished my first one at age 38 once I learned to use the system in the Health Cards . So it’s never too late to complete something.
I wholeheartedly agree. The key thing is to not give up, no matter how long it takes to achieve the goal. I find this hard when I’m working on something under a purely self-imposed deadline versus a work-imposed deadline. For example, I have been progressing through the same Bible study … since 2003-04! I have just been putting it down and picking it back up and putting it down again… I am determined to finish it. It is something I started when my pastor’s wife began the study with a group of women at our church. When my schedule started to conflict with the study and I couldn’t attend anymore, I didn’t continue consistently on my own. It is my promise to myself to finish the study and then be able to share that achievement with my pastor’s wife and thank her for introducing me to the study and tell her what I got out of it.
