When did you first start writing?
I began writing professionally in 2016, when I started my first website: HelpMeFixHome.com. It is a website devoted to those interested in learning how to do various home repairs. I have a variety of blog posts that contain step-by-step instructions for completing those repairs, as well as where to purchase the materials and tools needed for completing each project.
What's the story behind your latest book?
I was 21 years old when I had the opportunity to purchase a portion of a Landscape business from the individual that I was working for. I remember how initially nervous I was, not having worked for the owner for very long, and unsure how to really operate a business.
However, the price was right, and the owner agreed to work side-by-side with me for the first year to teach me all the ropes. I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I eventually went on to build it into a great business that I successfully ran for more than 25 years.
Having said all of that, I realize that there are probably plenty of individuals out there that would love to own and run their own business, but just don't know where to start or are as equally nervous as I was. It is my intention to Pay-it-Forward with my series of eBooks on the subject, since I really appreciated the mentoring that I was given.
