I finally did it!
After five years of thinking about writing a book, I finally did it
Five years ago I had a wonderful idea to write a leadership book for classroom teachers. I received positive feedback on the topic from friends, family, and co-workers, but I had a little voice inside my head telling me that I didn’t have time to write the book and no one would probably want to read it anyway.
Two years ago I began working with the tenets of “The Secret” and this past summer I discovered Live Dynamite through EXPERIENCE LIFE magazine. I went to the Live Dynamite website while doing research and began reading about Maryanne and thought to myself, “I would love to talk to her.” I registered for the Live Dynamite “Get good at living!” give-away through EXPERIENCE LIFE and proceeded to forget about it.
One day I opened my e-mail and there was a subject line that said something like, “Live Dynamite. You’ve Won.” I opened the message and found that I had won The Upside Toolkit and chose the one-hour coaching session with Maryanne as my support, since I live in Kentucky. The phone coaching session with Maryanne was wonderful and she has continued to be an incredible source of inspiration and motivation since our phone call this summer.
I had lost a job I loved and started my own consulting business—she helped me to set goals and truly implement the tenets I had previously learned through “The Secret.” Because of my renewed confidence in my abilities and the power of positive energy, I finally began the book I thought of writing five years ago and finished it. My book, “The Classroom CEO,” will be published this spring. Thank you, Maryanne.
