Читать книгу Million Dollar Micro Business - Tina Tower - Страница 7

Writing a book is literally the most mentally and emotionally challenging thing that I do. This is only the second time that I've done it and both times have been challenging in their own way. For me, it's the finality of it all! In online courses, I can always re-record if and when something changes, but a book, it's here to stay!

On that note, I want to first thank my family for dealing with the crazy two months before book deadline. That's when I start questioning EVERYTHING and I can be a little difficult to be around and have a conversation that doesn't, in some way, involve this beautiful book. When I told my husband I was writing Million Dollar Micro Business, his response was ‘Oh my gosh, why would you do that to yourself?’ Ha! Well, I do love a challenge, but more than anything, I want to help you to experience the level of success you're after and to design the life of your dreams. So Mat, thanks for doing all of the cooking and for taking care of me so that I could just write.

To my right-hand woman, Jarrah Wallace, how lucky I am to have you in my life! Jarrah is the one who helped to find the facts, pull together our Success Stories and organise my schedule so that I could devote my time to getting all of these many words on the page. There were also many speeches of encouragement and I am so grateful for having your gorgeous support in my corner, Jarrah.

You can guess by reading this book that I'm uber passionate about what I do. The most fun I've ever had in business has been this, right now. Building my program Her Empire Builder and seeing so many women package their expertise, step into their light and share their gifts with the world totally gets me all giddy. I want to thank my beautiful members who have trusted me to guide them and then done the work to elevate their success. You're all kinds of awesome and an inspiration to so many around you.

Thank you to Wiley for pulling this beauty together. In all honesty, most of the work is going to come once the book is sent to print, but I thank you for believing that I could write something worthy of printing and worldwide domination. You guys, when I said ‘I want this book to be this decade's The 4-hour Work Week’ they didn't even laugh at me. Not while I was on the zoom screen anyway ;) Thanks Lucy Raymond, Frankie Tarquinio and Chris Shorten for all of your handwork up to this point.

Thanks to Jem Bates for editing my words and making me sound more witty than I am. If you giggle in this book, chances are it's because Jem tweaked my words to make them funnier and smarter.

I wanted this book to be incredibly useful and not just theoretical. To add some personality and inspiration, I wanted to include some Success Stories from my favourite course creators. It was a little harder than I thought with gate keepers, but I eventually got there! Thank you so much to James Wedmore, Kayse Morris, Clint Salter, Tracy Harris and Denise Duffield-Thomas for so openly sharing your journey and for all of the fabulous work you inject into our world.

Thank you to Kenny Reuter, Jonathon Cronstedt, Allie Fernando and everyone at Kajabi for what you've created and the support that you have provided throughout my course creating and the creation of this book. It's rare that a software company has such personality and customer connection and I love you for it.

Thank you to those who have taught me what I know, some of you I actually know, and some don't even know I exist. It's amazing the incredible people who have helped me through courses, podcasts and content that don't even realise their impact (it's also what I want you to remember when you're creating your content!). Thank you to Amy Porterfield, Jasmine Star, Colin Boyd, Brendon Burchard, Jill Stanton, Jenna Kutcher, Chalene Johnson, Aaron Mac and James Wedmore for all of your gifts to the world that have helped me to figure out and grow in this wonderful world of online digital products.

Above all else, I want to thank you. I wrote this book for you and if you're reading these words, you've picked it up and cracked open the cover. Thank you for taking a punt on this book and thank you for believing in yourself enough to entertain the idea that you can create your own Million Dollar Micro Business. It's totally yours for the taking and I'm cheering you on every step of the way.
