Initiative: online for pre-order
Various stages of satisfaction come with finishing a book — signing with a publisher, finishing a first draft, reaching copy editing (meaning no more substantive edits), seeing it type set, getting your first reviews from prominent writers, seeing the cover, and so on.
Seeing it for sale at a retailer is one of the biggest. Since my last blog post, Initiative has appeared on Barnes and Noble and Amazon for pre-order — the best kind of ordering.
It delivers in ten days, but makes a great Mothers’ Day gift already. It appears $1.40 cheaper at Barnes and Noble. I’d snap up the discount soon. Who knows how long it will last?

The next big milestones are feeling the book in my hands, seeing the first reviews from readers I’ve never met, and seeing professional reviews in the media.
My biggest milestone last time was seeing Leadership Step by Step on bookstore shelves.
I recommend you buy your copy of Initiative now (Leadership Step by Step too). You’ll be glad you did.
