New book is hard work, but so worth it!

Worked hard on my latest book today. This book requires a great deal of research and concentration. It has to be as good as I can make it. I'm not ready to release the title yet, but I will soon. God willing!

New book project!

Started working on a new book project last night. This will be my first religious book and it is very intimidating for me to write. I try to please God with everything I do. I didn't want to write this book as it is near and dear to my heart and soul; however I feel that I am being called to do it. I just pray that God will guide my hand and fill me with wisdom for this project. My goal is to do his will. Prayers are very much appreciated! Thank you to everyone for their support!

First proof for Conquering Coupons!

We received the first proofs for Conquering Coupons a few days ago. Yeah!!! It is always so exciting to hold your work in your hand. For my wife, since it was her first book, was very excited.

The proof has some issues, and needs more revision. Our extraordinary designer (and cousin) Cot (https://plus.google.com/105494635500870425742/posts), is already hard at work on our cover revisions. Meanwhile, my wife and I are revising the inside. That is how this stuff works though. Create-->Review -->Revise-->Review in a loop until it is done.

Such a blessing to work on something you love and to be able to share it with others. Hopefully, this book helps people save money! I put an image of this first proof in the bottom of this blogpost.

Keep it Real!

Always be genuine in your interactions with people, they can tell the difference. 

Being genuine or "real" doesn't mean the same thing as being mean spirited. It simply means that you should be true to yourself; you should be friendly, open, professional, and honest in communications with others. The old business adage "Fake it until you make It." may work with technology or knowledge related tasks, but, when it comes to relationships and relationship management, and specifically expressing how you feel and what you think, taking this advice is a very risky proposition. 

When we aren’t genuine with others, we bear the burden for the self-control and energy required to cover the fact that we aren’t being ourselves. Celebrate others accomplishments, and if any feelings of resentment or jealousy creep in, just ignore them. Take the time to be here now with interactions. Be in the moment. You may never know how much this little gesture, this small amount of time, will mean to those that you interact with. One things for certain though, they will feel better about you, and you will improve your relationship with them.

Have you taken the time to appreciate a coworker today?

 It is easy to get so caught up in getting our work done that we fail to notice the little things that others do around us. So take a breath and take some time to notice others and to tell them how much you appreciate them. It doesn't have to be contrived and should be heartfelt. Who doesn't like to be appreciated at work for their efforts in the office? I know I do! You will find that the more you do this, the better it feels both for you and your coworker. You will see that it adds a little spring in their step and brightens their day. We all need that every once in a while.
