Everything inspires me in some way. That's why I keep the smartphone and journal.
Long business trips inspire me. Quotes inspire me. People inspire me. Difficult situations inspire me. Close friends inspire me.

My 3rd book. I write a column for the Project Post Gazette, and 10K subscriber newsletter. I blog. I'm preparing for a book tour of Consult in Jeans and conducting interviews (heavily marketing). I've completed my 2nd book, which will go out for bid this fall. I just completed my first eBook (The Leadership Jumpstart Plan), appearing on my redesigned website soon. I'm submitting articles for major business magazines as well. In the meantime, I consult and train. I love business and writing.

Write. And write some more. And then some more.
Blogs are wonderful tools these days. Commit to an hour+/day of writing. That's how I finished my first (and 2nd) books. Set the alarm clock 1:15 earlier than you normally would:
- take 10m for coffee making and muffin-getting
- take 5m for making your way to the office
- take 60m for writing
Use this formula 4-5x per week, and you'll be astonished at how soon you have 200 pages.
Also: YOU'RE THE WRITER, NOT THE EDITOR. HIRE AN EDITOR.

The freedom of thought. All the ideas are yours to share. There's no right or wrong. It is what it is. Writing is a great therapeutic form of expression.

Take the time out you need. Do something fun. Do something more fun than fun. Then get back to writing. Keep a journal, or a smart phone with Evernote and Voice Recorder! Jot your thoughts, even the miniature ones. They all add up.

From going through the struggle of being a new manager! The transition was rough. This book will help people overcome the overwhelm of it all with actionable strategies.
