Birthing a Business and a Book - TWINS!
Nancy Cleary recently notifed me that I’ve have been an official member of the Mom Writer’s Publishing Coop for one year. YAYAY! However, my book is yet to be published! Seems like a long birthing process doesn’t it?
I am Dr. Caron Goode, and my book is The Art & Science of Coaching Parents. I started writing the book at the same time I launched a distance-learning school, Academy for Coaching Parents International, LLC, www.acpi.biz. At the time of the conception for the book and business, I hadn’t anticipated the amount of effort to build the business infrastructure on the web. The process through time for both projects has been like having twins and nurturing each along their path of growth.
The great news is that the the book’s finishing touches are happening now, and I can submit the manuscript in December. I have had to focus not on the rush in time to completion, but on the enjoyment of writing and making the manuscript stronger. Next time, I would not choose twins. I’d like just one baby at a time!
Has anyone else had the experience of launching twins? What was your experience like?
