Sooooo looking forward to today’s Cornucopia Book Camp in Denver Colorado. One of the things that keeps me YOUNG, WISE, and SAVVY is I move forward with a personal motto: Keep on Learning. When you allow yourself to ease back and coast, you open yourself up to getting run over. Definitely, not a good thing.
And, if you are a member of AuthorYOU … and not calling on Fridays for the free coaching available to you … WHY, WHY, WHY? Get with it before you lose this benefit—the free benefit will DISAPPEAR in TWO WEEKS … countdown is starting.
If you are in Colorado, don’t miss out on not taking advantage of this freebie I do once a month. May 5th will be the next date—you need to sign up and commit early—last month was packed and SOLD OUT. Get all dates for 2018 at www.Meetup.com/AuthorYou … AND, how’s your week been?
