Top Ten Twitter Tweets of June 05, 2021

Good Authoring Day to YOU               

The ball keeps rolling. This week, Cheryl Obermiller and her book FraudPoints did the Happy Dance on Amazon, earning multiple bestseller categories and positioning.

 

 

Did you know that 50% plus of ALL small businesses are hit with fraud. If you know anyone who is an owner of a small business—less than 500 employees, encourage them to grab Cheryl’s pioneering book on how to protect a business from internal culprits.

Had fun last night with friends and clients—truly a dinner on the deck plus several rounds of Jamaican Rummy. Fun.

The clock is on the tick-tock cycle and early bird went bye-bye. Dr. Judith Briles Speaking Unplugged  has only 3 spots left—is one yours? Space is limited, so check it and COMMIT!  http://bit.ly/SpeakingUnplugged2021

Which brings me to my #Caturday post. I’ve always loved Nike’s catchy slogan—Just do it! It fits we authors. Procrastinating never gets you to the goal line. Suggest you just do it … get the ROUGH draft done … then go back and fine tune it … sometimes many times over, but you will get there. And, you will learn a lot to move your success quotient along. What looks flawless to an outsider has much time for the doer in getting it done—time that few are aware of.

That’s my past week … how about you … what are you up to?
