Toni’s Notes

I started my business in 2004. I did not plan to be a book coach, but I always knew I wanted to write a book and when the time was right and I was ready, I looked for an ebook coach and there weren't any. I was learning from a book on the topic and it was frustrating, I needed more help and since it wasn't available and I had learned that the money was in coaching what's in the book, not from book sales, I decided to figure out how to teach book writing a better way and become the first ebook coach. Eventually ebooks and books became one and the same and we just put them in both formats. But that is how I became a coach. It chose me. As far as my first book, I had no idea what to write about. At that time we were buying, fixing and selling properties and moving every 6 months of so. The movers had commented how good I had gotten at moving so I figured I'd create a book on how to save money moving. I made many of the rookie mistakes the biggest one being that it was a boring topic, I wasn't passionate about it. It took a long time and I got frustrated and wanted to quit. But by that time I had decided to become an ebook coach and find a better way, but figured if I was going to teach it, I better finish this one and go from there, so that's what I did. And over time books and ebooks have become the same, just in different formats and we give clients both.
