Find Your Pot O' Gold

by Andrea Waltz

I've always loved the mythology around St. Patrick's Day.

I used to think that there was really was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Literally, I did. Because my Mom (in addition to talking up the tooth fairy, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny) fueled my childhood fantasy world with plenty of stories. Including the one that if you found the end of a rainbow there'd be a pot of gold.

So, when we did see a rainbow, which was pretty rare in Southern California where I grew up, I thought all the adults were so stupid not to at least chase after it. I mean, come on let's at least give it a shot and drive over there, right? Maybe we'd get to it before the rainbow disappeared?

So frustrating! If I could have driven at age 7, I can assure you I'd be chasing rainbow ends at a moment's notice.

But, here's the thing. What I know as an adult today is, that pot of gold is actually there.

Now it's just called our dream.

Maybe it's the one we don't share. And we talk ourselves out of it because we don't know if it's worth chasing after. Maybe it will disappear when we get there?

But also maybe it's time to tap back into that childhood wonder when we used to fantasize and believe that crazy things were possible.

I don't know what your pot of gold is or where it is, but I hope you are chasing after it.

NOteworthy News: New Book

Our very first publishing attempt was in 1998. Ages ago. That book sold 40,000 copies - without Amazon. :)-

We've been writing and publishing ever since (including the book we are most known for, Go for No!) which has now sold over 400,000 copies.

As a result, we've given a lot of help and advice to people over the years about writing books. So... finally we've written the 'book about books' on what we believe gives non-fiction authors the greatest chance for long term success. It's built around a 13 ingredient "formula" that we arrived at by analyzing our successes and our epic failures. (Oh yes, there have been epic book publishing failures and now we know what happened.)

If you have any desire to write a book to help build a business and share your expertise with the world, this is definitely something you should read.

It's on Amazon in paperback and on Kindle.
