As a first post, it is difficult to say what I want to discuss, food, travel, new business books, what business practices I’ve seen working in the hotel industry, or one of our Whatever It Takes, WIT seminars.
WIT it is, since that is what I’m doing tonight, Do you want to write a book? Brenda and I have found that these seminars, as well as our Journaling seminar are the most popular at spa’s. When given locally, the Print-On-Demand, seems to rank number one.
I’m looking forward to seeing how many new and how many returnees there will be. This is very informal gathering. Yet, one of the most rewarding aspects was from a seminar a little over a year ago, Jackie Mahaney, read part of Meet Delaney. Norm and I edited it, and it was published in July. Go to www.jackiemahaney.com and see what Jackie has to offer. This book is being well-received all over, by all ages. We were involved in encouraging, editing, etc. Jackie and her book are soaring beyond expectations. Although, I knew it was a winner as soon as she read. More than that, she is great at marketing Meet Delaney.
I always hope to have another shining star. I’ll let you know if another one shines tonight. They don’t have to be as bright as Jackie. What matters is that they achieve their own goals.
