When my first book "Starting Your Own Business" was published way back ten years ago, I thought that was it. I reckoned I’d never write another one. But I was wrong. It has enjoyed many reprints, multiple editions, and proceeded over years to generate another seven disparate titles from same topic.
Towards end of last year I completed draft manuscript for a commemorative fourth edition marking a decade in print. This has been accepted by publisher and is due on world wide bookshelves in spring of 2005.
The content has been updated, several topical new chapters have been added, and all in all it should start ball rolling all over again by attracting a new breed of readers.
With that project out of way, I was stumped where to look for next.
I dug deep within myself and asked what else do I know about? I know how to start, manage and expand small businesses; I know about advising anyone on how to run an internet business from home, shop or office; I know how to instruct others on subject of creative writing, but what else do I know?
Then it dawned on me…
I also know how to enjoy a rewarding and fulfilling retirement. And so I embarked on my new task, researched topic, completed text, submitted a proposal, and as a result “Your Retirement Masterplan” (How To Books ISBN 1857039874) was published in October 2004.
But I didn’t let matter rest there. I set about drafting a fresh proposal for a sequel “Your Retirement Cash Plan”. It too has been accepted for publication in second quarter of 2005.
