LET’S FINISH THAT BOOK!
Do you have an idea for a book but don’t know how to start?
Have you written the first chapter of your novel seven times and still don’t know how it ends?
Are there unfinished stories sitting in your computer?
IT’S TIME TO GET SERIOUS
Personal trainers meet with clients to develop a fitness regimen and a workout schedule, then they meet weekly to review the client’s progress.
Career transition companies employ coaches who work with clients to update their resumes, teach them how to interview, and stick with them every step of the way to that new job.
How about Weight Watchers? The enormous success of this organization is due to its motivational leaders who offer suggestions, encouragement, and mentoring, while always cheering ‘Don’t give up!’

How can you get any meaningful feedback when the group only spends 5 to 10 minutes on your project?
