"May I sign one for you?"
Successfully self-publishing a book requires the author to move beyond several obstacles; the first of which is actually writing the book itself. This requires motivation, focus, and discipline.
My path to authorship began with a phone call from a literary agent in 1999, the day after an article about my work appeared in the Wall Street Journal. The agent assigned a "ghost writer," a journalist from a popular "features" magazine to write my story. The words he wrote were well crafted, but they were not mine. It just didn't sound like me. So I decided to assume control of my own story. Six years later, the result is now available for you to order online by clicking here.
That's right, I'm asking you, my core group of supporters, to buy my book. "On A Roll: Reflections from America's Wheelchair Dude with the Winning Attitude" will be in bookstores by the end of the summer. But right now, I could use your support as one of the first to own this book. May I sign one for you?
Order your book online, or send a check for $22.50 (which includes shipping and handling) and mail it to PO Box 1077, Ocean Springs MS 39566.
On The Radio: This Week's Show!
Greg salutes our military this Memorial Day weekend, by introducing a man who has served our country. Dale Collie was raised on a Kentucky farm in near poverty. He was the first in his family to earn a bachelor's of science degree and to pursue a military career. As a U.S. Army Ranger, combat infantry commander, Collie lost a leg in a night gun battle, but he stayed on active duty for another 10 years as an amputee. After earning a master's degree in English and teaching at universities, including West Point, Collie worked his way up corporate America and then turned around a near bankrupt non-profit ministry, guiding it to become a $37 million operation in just seven years. Next, Collie started businesses in Eastern Europe to help the impoverished
and support orphanages abandoned by the government there. Today, he is a full-time speaker and author, who has just completed his third book, "Winning Under Fire."
