About
They say that life is about the journey – I’ve learned that it’s also about redefining the route we take…
After a life-threatening fight with cancer, I had to re-calibrate my personal GPS system in order to achieve balance without compromising business goals or sacrificing my passion for living out loud.
Simply put ~ I want it all! I want to make every day count. And finding the success in both business and life is what this blog is all about.
Hi Dwayne,
Congratulations on your new book. I read your testimonial on Brendon Burchard’s ExpertsAcademy.com website.
I wanted to know:
1. Which of Brendon’s seminars did you attend?
2. Where you already shopping your book to major publishers before attending his seminar?
3. What was your turn around time from the time the seminar ended to the time you inked your deal?
I am very close to deciding to attend the Experts Academy first before attending the Partnership Seminar. I would love to have your input.
Thank you,
Brooke

Hi Brooke,
Thanks for reaching out and sorry for the delay in responding. I’ve not checked my blog replys in a while and probably need to figure out how to get them pushed to my regular email.
Anyhow, you can contact me directly at Navigator@BikersGuidetoBusiness.com .
In answer to your questions:
I am a very big fan of Brendon’s. Knowing how some of those workshops can go, Brendon has a wonderful spirit and is a great teacher. In other words, he cares.
1. Which of Brendon’s seminars did you attend? – I attended both his basic boot camp and his Expert’s Academy. It was out of his boot camp that I was able to put together the book proposal that Wiley and Son’s purchased and got me a five figure advance. His stuff is simple and brilliant.
2. Where you already shopping your book to major publishers before attending his seminar? – Yes, before his basic boot camp, but I already had my deal closed when attending his Expert’s Academy. I found both to be extremely valuable.
3. What was your turn around time from the time the seminar ended to the time you inked your deal? – About six months. It took me a while to complete the proposal. And Brendon helped during the process. He doesn’t just have you attend and forget you. The other time was a function of timing in that I missed the June deadline (publishers take the summer off) and I sold it when they regrouped in September.
Do you have an agent? I was fortunate enough to meet my agent at Mark Victor Hansen’s Mega Book Conference.
Tell me a bit about what you’re doing…and please email with any questions you have about the publishing process…would love to help in anyway I can.
