An excerpt from $uccess, Your Path to a Successful Book.
“If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are gone, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing.” -Benjamin Franklin
When we wrote our book about chefs, we called it Our Love Affairs with Food & Travel. After interviewing over a hundred chefs around the globe, we found the common denominator that singled out the successful chefs and cooks from the other… who often come and go. It’s called passion.
Writers, who possess that elusive, yet essential quality, passion, have the edge over even the best of published and wealthy authors.
Author Brian Jud in Beyond the Bookstore comments on passion: “…A sense of enthusiastic expectations is your most valuable asset. Without passion, in your voice and actions, your pursuit of success will be more difficult. Invest in your attitude regularly, build interest in it and protect it from depreciation as you would any other asset.”
When we talk about success, even though we stuck a dollar sign in our title, what we mean is this: $UCCESS is recognizing your passion and writing it. If you follow your passion, the dollars may follow you. And, if they do not, you are still doing what you love in life… the true meaning of success!
