Thanks to all who participated in the Twitter Super-Charged Giveaway. I wish all of you could have won but that would have involved close to 600 books and my poor bank account would not hold up under the strain. I've kept the price for both the eBook and paperback on the low side. Here is the link: http://www.dr-smith.info/books-dr-smith/. I still have two giveaways active (Zen Mentoring: 40 Meditations and The Toast of Broadway: An Omega/Alpha action thriller)and another one that will start this Friday (Business Development: The Right Way).

Dream Walk
Dream Walk Parables for the Living - Meditations on Meaning by Dr Earl R Smith IIThis is a book about dreaming and thinking - authenticity and inauthenticity. The first section - Dream Walking - relates an extend conversation between Raven and Wolverine. Their talk comes about as a result of an experience that Wolverine has had with Thrush. Wolverine’s question to Raven is actually Thrush’s question to Wolverine. But, as you will no doubt find, the question is different for each of them - as it is different for Raven. The question at the end of the section, however, is only for the reader.
The second section - Dream Food - is a collection of ‘dreaming’ pieces. Each short chapter ends with a question. Although most of them appear rather simple, I assure you that they are not. They are the dreaming pieces of the dreaming pieces. The more time you spend with them the richer your dreams will become.

Business Development - the right way
he Money Chase: Angel Investors and Venture Capitalists by Dr Earl R Smith IIThere is no challenge that a founder faces that is quite like that of arranging the financial resources necessary to allow a company to grow. Most meet this test initially by accessing person resources. Next comes friends, family, grants and bank financing. But the time comes when those resources are no longer adequate. Once the limits have been reached, founders often turn to the hunt for investors. The first stop on this journey is often angle investors - those high net worth individuals who invest in early-stage companies.
For most founders - particularly first time entrepreneurs - this experience is much like traveling to a foreign country in which both the language and customs are radically different. Much time and effort can be lost in trying to navigate the reefs and shoals of obtaining angel investment. Many companies don’t make the journey out of early-stage simply because the founders don’t understand those differences and how to effectively navigate through them.
The purpose of this book is to give you a glimpse into the world of the angel investor. If you can manage to see the world through the eyes of potential investors in your company, your chances of successfully arranging needed financial resources increases substantially.
