When Life Happens Update
As you may remember, I’m co-writing a book with Chris Vasiliadis (www.prioritywellness) about women business owners and how they handle personal cris
is while running their businesses. I originally posted this project back in January in When Life Happens: How Women Business Owners Handle Personal Crisis
Since then, Chris and I have been very busy interviewing over 5o women business owners. We’ve heard remarkable stories about women coping with cancer, domestic abuse, spouses and children experiencing illnesses, caring for aging, ill parents, suicides of loved ones, and so much more. Some of the stories have ended with the crisis resolving itself. Other women have to live with chronic conditions and other negative consequences that don’t go away even after the crisis part has ended. A few of the women have closed their busineses and yet, others have actually thrived and grown.
Chris and I are really looking forward to telling you the stories and all the things these women learned about themselves! Their experiences have really shifted their understanding of themselves and how they lead and manage their businesses.
We’re full bore in our next stage which is writing the book proposal. Our goal is to use this book proposal to work with a literary agent and a publishing house. We’re busy writing the sample chapter and all of the marketing bits!
Truly this is an amazing process with so many lessons to be learned! Periodically I’ll blog updates about what’s happening. When we can, we’ll share some of the content. I’m really looking forward to that!
