My Journey with a Bestseller

Two weeks away from writing (among other things) are now enough. I am back to you…

I am getting into the podcast listening world and I am really mad at myself. How in the world was I late to the party? There are powerful podcasts out there, and on various subjects. It is like an all-you- can- eat buffet (you know my well-established relationship with food).  Just last week, I was into productivity podcasts and what I learned was so valuable that I now feel I want to turn my life upside down and start everything from scratch (maybe it would be unproductive but it is worth the try).

Anyways…

I am here to talk about something different. I can now brag and say that I have a bestseller friend. You don’t believe me? Here is the proof:

Bonjour Patrick,
J'ai écrit le livre "Introverts: Leverage Your Strengths for an Effective Job Search".
Il est devenu #1 sur Amazon pendant le premiers 10 heures et a reçu le statut de Bestseller le 1er Juillet

That is an extract of an email sent to me by Gabriela Casineanu, a former co-worker of mine letting me know that her book has just hit the bestseller list on Amazon

I was so happy for Gabriela you can’t imagine. If there is one person who really deserves success, it is Gabriela. She is a Certified Coach, trained in Co-Active Coaching and Organisation & Relationship Systems Coaching. Over the years, she has been able to help thousands of people (including me) improve their lives.

Why do I say that she deserves the success she is getting? You may ask. It is simply because she had paid the price. Gabriela has overcome a number of challenges (abusive behaviour, divorce, single mom, settling in a new country, career changes, financial issues,  … to name a few) but she never gave up on her dreams. Long ago, she decided to quit the corporate world and an Engineering position to embark on the path of heart! It was her personal choice. She never turned back.

In 2008, I took a trip with Gabriela to Las Vegas (what happened there stayed there) for a conference and she shared with me some incredible stories about herself. What I have to tell you is that when she really wants something, she goes after it with faith no matter what. I really respect Gabriela, especially her work ethic. She is very professional and she speaks her mind. What you see is what you get with Gabriela

Way to go my friend.

Here is a link to her book: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0732L97DL


Enjoy

As for me, I will see you next week for another entry blog. Now I have to rush and do some stuff if I want to stay productive

Moral of the story? Do you want to stay productive? Go to Vegas and you will meet a bestseller

Always a pleasure
Patrick

    I have read news on technical sites that GiveBIG is now dominating the spring fundraising season for most nonprofits in every sector in Seattle and King County. The nonprofit community and fundraising thought leaders are trying to make sense of the GiveLocalAmerica kerfuffle. Great!jogos online 2019

My Journey to my wedding

Where do I start? I don't really know. As I am waiting for my flight at Kigali airport, with tears in my eyes, I am thinking about the last few days. There are no words that can explain what I have experienced in this month of December 2010. As Phil Collins said, it's another day in paradise. The person who said that words are powerful was so right. It took a few words from my then girlfriend, now wife (are you kidding me!!!!), to start a series of events that led me to this moment. She just said: “Honey, this long distance thing is killing me”. Having been in a couple of long distance relationships, I knew what she meant. This time, it was different. I had to do something, otherwise, this relationship would end up like the other ones. I had promised myself to do whatever it took to make this one work. As I hung up the phone, I thought I had to move mountains. I had to find a way to meet her. Originally, my intention was to visit her in July 2011, however, this felt like a cent...

My Journey to Orillia

We drove a little bit late at night. I had been to this place called Orillia before, but it was about ten years ago. I didn’t remember much about it, other than it was beautiful. Here we were on the road, and there was not much we could see, except a signal on the highway that said “beware of cattle”. We thought it was funny.   By the time we arrived at the hotel, it was almost midnight. I went straight to bed. We had to wake up early in the morning as breakfast was scheduled to be served a six O’clock. There was no way I was going to miss out.‎ You may be wondering what was happening in Orillia. I am glad you asked. A number of months ago, Paul, my business partner, got this brilliant idea, and once he shared it with me I was totally on board. He realized that for us to do what we wanted to do, we must work with partners. These may be service providers, or simply other business owners with goals similar to ours. Paul decided to go out and attend different netwo...
