***************************************************************************************************

Hi, Joel.

I'm the editor of David Siteman Garland's new book. Thank you for the awesome review; David is a gem author.

The review brought me to your website; you have great ideas and a solid position. I would love to talk with you about possible publishing opportunities. Your message would indeed resonate with a wide and eager audience of budding entrepreneurs.

If you're not interested, please excuse the query. Again, thanks for the love on David's book. I look forward to connecting with you.

Best,

Lauren Lynch

 

Here's my review of David's book.

 

That's how it started. Well, not exactly. It actually started 6 years ago, when I decided to start "blogging."

It, being the writing of a new book on franchise ownership…my take on the proper steps that people interested in becoming franchise owners need to take to lower their risk, while at the same time, increasing their chances of success.

 

The letter from Lauren over at Wiley came as a surprise. (Well, kind of.)

 

You see, I had been preparing for it. That's right; the more I started sharing my expertise, tips, and even some rather strong opinions on franchising, the more I realized that I was onto something.  Being one of the first ones to create a franchise blog helped position me as  "a guy to follow."  Here is my first-ever blog post, in March of 2006.

I did have to be convinced to do it, though. A fellow Clevelander by the name of George Nemeth helped to do that.

I'll share what George Nemeth told me in my next post. George changed everything for me. (Thanks, G.)
