Hello Ray! wonderful program - here attached is my first draft of the Title Page, the Opening Materials, the Introduction, and the first three chapters. This is a definitive book - establishing my messaging and connections in this domain. Been working on developing all this over 50 years - and been writing this since January in a Substack with a mountain of stuff LOL good grief LOL - so I see this book as a critical stake in the ground .... So it will be longer than 20,000 words and 50-60 pages. Probably about 50,000-100,000 words and 150-200 pages. I'm making it a combination of a story and discussion - like you say, story and point should accompany - so I'm jumping into that like a kid cannonballing into a warm summer lake! And of course - appreciate all of Dr. Fred's input. I plan to have this book finished by the end of this week - and submitted for copyright - and trademark the key branding phrases - all of which are entirely my own. Totally look forward to your comments and suggestions. Thank you !!!

Useful Questions to answer in writing WHO do you help? Women 45+ (50+) in business who want to upgrade their life/business Corporate, ex-corporate, solo business owners, service based business owners, where THEY are the business WHAT is their most painful problem? They feel like they don’t have control over their life They KNOW they are on the cusp of a new chapter yet they are not able to get traction to get going or sustain actions/momentum. Feel STUCK and in their own way - unable to move forward or make meaningful progress in their life They have ideas but don’t act on them or are not successful in implementing/making progress. They have significant inner conflict about taking the actions; they don’t feel resourceful; their sense of self has eroded; their decisiveness wavers They don’t see a way out, a way forward They are despondent - “is this it? How come i can’t figure this out? I don’t WANT to be done, I’ve got more to live, to give - The expanded direction competes with other “life” events /transitions, which require emotional energy and time NOT making progress and emotional turmoil that accompanies it HOW does that problem show up for them? (know what it is but not doing it - Wheel spinning Continue to have a number of starts and stops and redirects, only to circle back and repeat it - no firm decision and then action to implement. “Analysis paralysis” - Feel emotional ups and downs - exaggerated when they see the “on hold” nature of their life Days into weeks and months, and still nothing to show for their “dreams” - and because of this, they are starting to waiver and wobble about what they think is possible for them They see OTHERS who are dramatically less qualified than they are - visible on the social media platforms - getting the deals, getting the attention - and yet they KNOW they are sitting on a gold mine of ideas, of vision, of energy OR They are KNOW its time to shift gears away from their current position - but feel frozen because don’t know the next move. Justify and excuse their inaction because their comfort and familiarity is all in the past - yet

1. A foreign national can absolutely register a U.S. copyright. The U.S. Copyright Office allows registration by anyone whose work is protected under the Berne Convention (that’s most of the world). You do not need to be a U.S. citizen or resident.All you need is: - A completed application form (can be filed online) - A deposit copy of the work (digital upload is fine for most works) - The filing fee So, a writer in Ghana, London, or Lagos can register their book directly at copyright.gov. The registration is just as valid and enforceable as if they lived in New York. 2. Having a U.S. person file it “for you.” Yes, you can have a U.S. representative (an attorney, publisher, or agent) handle the filing on your behalf.But note — that person isn’t the copyright owner unless you’ve transferred ownership in writing. They’re simply acting as a correspondent or authorized agent for registration purposes.The ownership stays with you, the author or rightful claimant. 3. Why it matters If you ever want to bring a lawsuit for copyright infringement in U.S. federal court, a U.S. registration (or a pending application) is required — even for foreign nationals. So registration strengthens your hand worldwide. So yes, you can file directly from anywhere — or appoint someone local to do it.
