Your trusted guide to
achieving your goal of
authorship
You've decided to write a book—now what?
- Maybe it’s still just an idea, needing mulled around and developed before you put it into words. Or maybe you’ve written a draft or have comprehensive notes, and now it needs edited at one level or another. You need an editor.
- Maybe you have some writing skills and want to write the book, but don’t know where to start—or maybe you tried and become stuck. You need a book coach.
- Maybe you have all the knowledge needed for the book, but for whatever reason you don’t want to write it yourself. You need a ghostwriter.
The Book that Saved a Legacy—a business fable about the importance of telling your own story
Mopal Industries is Max Stanton’s legacy. It was born in Max’s garage, where as a young man he tinkered with computers and software, always trying to make something better. Now it’s a multinational corporation, a leader in the high tech field, and winner of multiple successful workplace awards.
Now 63 and ready to retire, Max worries about whether he is leaving his company in good hands.
For years, he has talked about writing the Mopal story in a book, as a way of showing that a company can operate on principles of decency and consideration and still be financially successful. But somehow there was always something more urgent, and the book has never been written.
After yet another late night at the office, Max is involved in a car accident. Over the course of three nights in hospital, a mysterious nurse called Sister Morrison takes him on a fantastic journey that shows him just what could happen to his legacy if he doesn’t write the book.
As well as the fable, this engaging book contains a series of questions designed to help kickstart the process of defining your legacy and then writing the book that will safeguard it. It was purposely kept short to respect the time of busy readers, so don’t be misled by its brevity. It is small but mighty!
If you have been putting off writing the story of your career, your business—your legacy—
read this book before it’s too late.
