The Last Tether has been cut!
No entries in quite a while. Why? I've been enjoying life, going to see movies in the middle of the day and working on two new projects. One is the 7 CD audio edition of Turn Your Passion Into Profit, and the other is a secret project I can't tell you about....yet.
As I may have mentioned, I recently got a Mac Powerbook G-4 and have been going to town with the portability, as well as the Garageband software in particular. I got a microphone, plugged it into my boombox to use it as an amp to boost the signal directly into the laptop. In other words, I'm recording a tape series right in my living room! I've just finished laying all the tracks for all 7 CDs and am now in the process of creating the mp3 files for the masters. The 7 CD set is already onsale on the site, and I'll make a big announcement probably on Monday or Tuesday of next week.
Meanwhile, yesterday's great news was that one of my coaching clients turned me on to LightningSource.com (LSI) as a potential printer for the PassionProfit line of books. The price is very competitive (read cheaper than who we're currently using), and they also do order fulfillment at a reasonable rate.
Why is this significant? Well, passionpreneurs who've attended my workshops or teleclasses know that one of the ideal scenes
for my own business is to be free to run my business from anywhere, including a mountain top in the Himalayas (provided
they're wired for internet access) and thus cut the tethers to any need to be in any specific physical location.
Having a reliable and cost-effective way to fill the orders for paperback books (ebooks are already handled by a cgi perl-script I developed and added to the shopping cart) was the last piece of the puzzle. (Beep. "You're now free to move about the planet!")
So over this weekend, I'll be reformatting all my books and uploading them to the Lightning Source system and giving them a test run to see the quality and turnaround time. I expect good things, as from what I see, they seem to be positioned well in the market and have Ingram as a parent company.
Well, that's all for now. I'll let you know how LightningSource, the CD Package and www.agelessadept.com are coming along....ooops! I let the cat out of the bag!
