A CEOs Thoughts on Collaboration
I had breakfast with Matt Blumberg – the CEO of Return Path – yesterday. I’ve worked with Matt for at least six years and love the way his brain works. During my frustrating quest for the best chocolate croissant in Boulder (so far all of the ones I’ve found appear to be exactly the same – I’m guessing there is one chocolate croissant distributor in town) we talked some about “collaboration.”

Where to Start Writing Your Book
Writing a book is such a big project that many aspiring authors have no idea where to start. If you’ve been thinking about writing a book, you can use the following three steps to turn your thoughts into action!

Publish a Book and Leave Your Competition Behind
By writing a book, you fit all the pieces of your expertise neatly into place. Your insights and lessons learned combine to fill your book’s pages resulting in an alluring record of your current value proposition. While much of this can also be said about writing articles, a book ups the ante, strutting your stuff thoroughly, glamorously and uniquely.
When and How to Get Feedback on Your Book-in-Progress
If you’re writing a book, eventually you need to get feedback on your writing skills, the material itself, and whether or not your goals were accomplished in the manuscript. After all, the goal of writing a book is to communicate with readers, and if no one has read your book at press time, you’ll never know whether your message is perceived the way you intend it to be perceived. You can read it yourself over and over again, but you won’t be able to get a sense of how others interpret your book without letting someone else read it.

How to Develop Your Book’s Structure
A man came to me last week because he needed help writing his book. He told me that he’s had this project on his to-do list for years, but he just couldn’t seem to get started. He’s literally been staring at the task—start writing my book—almost every day, and when he came to me, he still hadn’t done it.

Do you think you have the next New York Times bestseller or Oprah Book Club pick, but don’t know how to write it?
Is there a story you've always wanted to write that you think is the next bestseller? But there's a problem--you aren't sure you have the skill to write it? If you think your story might be Oprah's next book club pick, but you aren't sure how to go about it, here are some things to consider...
Writers: Do You Procrastinate? Make it a Priority to Write Your Book
So you’ve taken the plunge and started writing a book? Congratulations on taking the first step. But now you have to find ways to keep yourself motivated to keep going. If you’re like most people that are trying to write a book, you started off strong and very excited and motivated to write—you couldn’t wait to sit down and start plugging away. You finished the outline and maybe even got through the first chapter without a problem. Then life happened.

Are You Writing Your Book for the Wrong Reasons?
Have you been struggling to finish your book? If you’ve been working on the project for what seems like forever, and made little or no progress, you might need to reconsider your motive for taking on the project in the first place.
Marketing Your Writing: The Basics of Selling Your Book
Marketing is important for all writers who hope to sell their work—whether that means books or articles or writing skills. I used to work for a book publishing company, and for several months I was in charge of marketing my boss’s book. It was a writing reference book, actually, and although I had no idea what I was doing when I took over the project, I learned fast and had a lot of fun doing it.
Developing Passive Income
Passive income is crucial to growing your business in a way that is not dependent on your time input. Passive income is income that comes without you directly having to work for it on an ongoing basis.

Why Time Management Is Overrated
If you visit any library or bookstore, you'll see shelves full of books on time management. It seems we all want to "manage" our time, "get control" of our time, and start doing "what we're supposed to, when we're supposed to."
Inspired Work
Enjoying the work that you do is critical for overall health and wellbeing. When work is a downer we don't get the energy necessary to feel inspired and useful. This article, by Energy Coach Kimberly Kingsley, provides insight into why it's so important to love your work.

Hello, World!
This is my first entry into my blog! Welcome to ‘Sell Like a Woman’. The creation of this site came about as a result of an idea I had about putting a book together. I am writing a book called “Sell like a woman” which I want to publish in 2007. My aim in writing this book is to highlight the key qualities, approaches and attitudes displayed and used by successful sales women.

Five Reasons to Stop Procrastinating and Get Your Book Done
Sharing what you know in a book helps everyone. But if you have a business to run, a job to do, or a household to maintain, then putting off writing a book is easy-even if you really want to become a published author. If you've been procrastinating writing your book, consider these benefits of getting it done.
Your Book Won't Succeed Without It--Seriously
As writers, we tend to think about writing and what it takes to write a book. But what about reading a book? When you ask someone to read your book, you’re asking them to set aside other things they could be doing--reading something else, hanging out with their kids, or whatever--and spend ten or so hours with you and your thoughts. That’s a pretty serious request. So how serious do you take your writing?
How Much Does it Really Cost to Write and Publish a Book?
When an aspiring author is thinking about writing and publishing their book, the question of cost inevitably comes up. All books are different, though, so asking how much it costs to publish a book is like asking how much a house or a car costs. The price depends on the book itself. With that said, I've done some research to put together the following list of expenses you should budget for when writing and publishing your book.
When Writing a Nonfiction Book, Don't Put the Cart Before the Horse
What's the point of writing a book? Publishing it. In the end, that's what we're all after because writing is about sharing our ideas and knowledge. However, although publication is the ultimate goal, focusing too heavily on that--particularly when your book idea isn't fully formed, let alone written--can prevent you from ever getting it done.
