I have had the best books coming into my life lately! Last week we talked about
The Success
Principles(tm) and this week I want to tell you about a book for the gals (sorry, guys!).
Do you ever just flip open a book -- and then you are shocked at where the book falls (I highly recommend this, by the way)? I did this with
Unstoppable Women, and guess whose story came up? J.K. Rowling. Every author who has a book that keeps bugging them to be written needs to read her story -- a single mom who was surviving on only $103.50 a week is now richer than the queen of England because of her writing. It doesn't get any better than that!
Another prolific and unstoppable author passed away this week... the Pope. I was surprised to see how many books he produced, and did you know he was a playwright and a poet? Even though he was controversial, he was an amazing writer. Check out all his books --
You can use the Open Office software to create PDFs at no charge. The Open Office software is the open source software that's similar to Microsoft(R) Office and it includes the ability to create PDFs. If Adobe Acrobat is beyond your budget, check out Open Office.
For authors and publishers.... Lynne Klippel's Book School
You can still be part of the fun of book school! It starts on the 13th....
I am so excited! For years, I've been trying to find a good "how to
write and publish your book" program to share with you. And I think
I've finally found it.
One of my awesome coaches, Lynne Klippel, is piloting a
brand new program called Book School. This program is going
to take us from idea to writing the book in 5-minute chunks to publishing it
yourself, if you want.
Can you imagine? In 90 days we'll have our next
book on its way!
Since she's just piloting the program, she's offering an
incredible price. Send an email to julie9-101972@autocontactor.com (you may get request to confirm your subscription from Finally Organized)
and you'll get all
the details.
I hope you can join us!
Happy organizing! Julie

"Julie, I am sending a quick note to thank you for your well measured and extra-ordinary website. You have
a tremendous amount of information at a very reasonable cost. I subscribed to your free site and, for the
first time in forty years of writing, found a planner that works for me.
I felt so guilty for receiving so much information free from your
site that I have now ordered and downloaded the e book. I have found that you have struck a cord among so
many writers regarding procrastination and simple organization. Keep up the good work.
