It's been quite the email week.
Here are some sample subject lines.
'Your Second Notice of Renewal'
'Your outstanding invoice...'
'Fine owed.'
I'm not one to waste good clean energy on the battle against SP@M, I'm of the 'do what you can, waste no time on what you can't' variety.
But when I start getting bullied by my own Sp@m??
Here was the topper.
'We may remove you from further notices if you do not respond within 24 hours.'
PLEASE!
Now that's some outstanding nerve. LOL.
It was a good chuckle.
You know there's trouble in the world when (1) sp@m works (if it didn't, it wouldn't proliferate) and (2) it starts to bully/passive aggressive-ize us when we don't respond.
It's a mad, mad world, ain't it?
The world of self-publishing is a vast and entertaining one.
Or it has been so far anyway.
While I add to my knowledge of various suppliers and types of services, the more economically priced options are all 'discussion board' based. This means a lot of people get together and talk about things, and how to make things work.
It's a wonderful world of 'what it is, is up to us' (thank you Howard Rheingold.)
In anticipation of an active next 90 days, I'd like to share some gut-level reflection with you.
Starting with two 'tough questions.' :-)
Remember the Tough Question for Coaches series we started? You can review Question #1 here.
And here's the next.

Tough Question for Coaches #2

> > Should you quit Coaching?
It's official.
The book manuscript for 'Multiple Streams of Coaching Income' is out of my hands and at the editor's.
From here on out, I understand I am completely at the whim of the big 'publishing' machine.
Just kidding. :-)
It feels great!
And I have every confidence in the process to come, including cover art, distribution, on and offline sales, etc. Exciting.
If you're curious about the process of bringing a print book of YOURS into being (another stream of coaching income!) well...you know what to do. We'll be talking about all the mental shifts as well as mechanics to do so in the Multiple Streams membership this fall (link below).
As for the book itself, the release date is ON ITS WAY!
For those of you who've traveled this road before, I thank you for all your wonderful wisdom, warnings(!) and encouragement. Keep it coming...
