Questions and Answers with Lorii Myers

You don't have to be perfect.

A lot of people tend to sell them-selves short. They think they are never quite ready. Perhaps they think their credentials aren't good enough. You can justify why you are waiting, wait too long, and miss opportunities. I believe perfection is over-rated! If you want something, go for it!"

Questions and Answers with Lorii Myers

"Why did you write this book? Is there any "back story" that inspired you to write this book?



I have always written in one form or another: music, management training manuals, marketing materials, business plans, and so on. I love to be creative and find a fresh way of looking at things and situations.



I also love golf. I love to embrace healthy competition and feel the a sense of urgency that comes with wanting to win.



The idea of writing a book all came together a couple of years ago when a colleague on a whim suggested that I should write a book and I said "Yeah, I can write a book!" This is very much who I am! I think I can do anything I put my mind to and I liked the idea of writing a book.



The natural progression was to write a business book using golf as a metaphor which I do believe to be totally original. Needless to say, I am extremely competitive and so the challenge of writing a book was irresistible for me."

BEA Book Expo America 2011

I am very excited to be attending my first Book Expo this year.



While my book has an extremely busy schedule and will be attending several shows, I decided to pick one to attend which as it turns out, and by no accident, will be the BEA which is held in New York.  ( I do love NY )



Travelling with my publisher, a first, should be great fun -- we are showcasing the book in the New Titles section as you enter the venue...  http://www.newtitleshowcase.com/search_listing.php?title=&publisher=&order_from=U.S.&category=&x=37&y=16 and also at the IBPA booth.  We are also volunteering for an hour or so at IBPA mid day on Wednesday.



I am very anxious to hear from anyone who has attended the BEA in the past!  If anything in particular stood out as a must see -- please let me know!



Any tips on what to do while in New York would be great too!

I like Mickelson, Gretzky, and Beckham

I am working on book 2 in the series and have been chipping away at defining Sportsmanship.



Whatever the sport.....  Who is your sports hero and why?
