I've been embarrassed by Premature (e)Publication


It is a real thing Reader,

I don't know how many other authors also suffer from this difficult condition but, at 5am this morning, I discovered that Amazon had got a little over-excited and published my book 48hrs early.

The book is now available to buy

"How to Embrace The Four Fears® of Business Ownership" is now for sale on ALL Amazon sites, internationally, for Just £12.99.

Enjoy, scribble on, devour...

Be it a physical copy that I put in your hand myself (coming later this week) or an Amazon purchase of your own; should you do the beautiful thing of buying the book, I insist you devour it.

Write all over it, make notes, attach stickies, fold down page corners... the book's whole purpose is to excite you into action... so do please ACT!

And (assuming you love it) please take a photo of yourself with the book and post a review on Amazon.

Will I see you Monday?

I'm doing a reveal, Q&A and reading live on LinkedIn on Monday 17th February - 2pm UK. It's free to attend, just log on and tune in. There's also a prize draw on the day to win a free copy:

Throughout February and March I'll also be attending various in-person events with a pile of books and a pen. I'll be sharing details of each on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook so keep an eye out.

As for the publishing dysfunction

I appreciate that "It's NOT that common, it DOESN'T happen to every author, and it IS a big deal!" but, on this occasion, I am very happy for you to share this with everyone you know.

You've got my back, right?

That's a big question to start the week Reader, It's also quite presumptive of me – to suggest something in your business is broken. How (very) dare I? And yet... is something a bit askew? Tell me where you're at right now. On a scale of one-ten (ten being "everything is rosey thanks Mr Nosey"), how's business? How's business (on a scale of one-ten)? 9-10 – Perfect! Couldn't be better! 7-8 – Room for improvement but still pretty good 5-6 – It's not lighting me up right now 3-4 – At least the...

I feel like a fraud Reader, All this time I have been telling you about the Four Fears® and I've been keeping their evil twin brother a secret... Or have I? If you are wondering whether there are more than just four key and common hesitations, then I am about to allay your curiosity. No, there isn't a fifth fear. And here's how I can prove it. The science of colour If you are creative and enjoy playing with design programmes such as Canva or Creative Cloud, your mind (much like mine) may...

A set of values (numbers) explaining the difference between mean, mode and median

I'll be honest Reader, I'm about to skirt dangerously close to an established form of science and philosophy that is relatively new to me. Stick with me though as I'm introducing a simple take on a solid principle and, as such, it should hold up: Mean, mode, median Do you remember these three math terms from school? If not, allow me to jog your memory. If you have a set of values (numbers), the definition of each of these would be as follows: Mean: What we consider to be the average of the...
