 Tuesday, June 21, 2005 I'm sorry it has been such a long gap between blog entries. Things have been so busy. As you probably already know, I finished my autobiography and have had a hectic speaking schedule of late. For the remainder of June, I am free from travel so I can get a little rest in, mixed with some strategic planning for how I am going to take my life to the next level. So many exciting things are happening.My book, "On A Roll: Reflections from America's Wheelchair Dude with the Winning Attitude," has been accepted by Biblio Distribution! I learned this last Friday afternoon. This means that bookstores across the nation will be able to sell my book. I'm new to the publication business, but I'm told that is pretty good for a first time self-published author. My documentary, "On A Roll: Family, Disability and the American Dream" will be shown at a film festival at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention in Atlanta! This means 600 journalist will see the film, hear me speak and learn about my book. Hopefully, they'll report on my work in the national media. (Note: I didn't make the movie. Joanne Caputo did, but I feel compelled to call it my documentary sometimes! Check out Joanne's site at http://www.onarolldocumentary.com) I'm still having discussions with high level people in broadcasting regarding elevating my show to a new level, either on radio or televison or both. So I work hard every day from a very optimistic mindset. I get frustrated sometimes because I usually want more to happen with each day than I have time or energy for. Yet I know I'm on the right path. This past week's show was very interesting. You'll be able to hear it online tomorrow. It was inspired by some email I've been receiving from people with disabilities who are reaching out for help. People who can't get a break. I can relate because I never got the breaks I wanted early in my career so I made my own break. I started my own business. I'm so glad that I didn't get those breaks years ago because that has created the success I enjoy today. I would like to share that pattern with others, so I invited my favorite Internet business guru, Tom Antion to come onthe show and mentor one of my new friends, Nikki Reese, who was one of those who wrote a letter reaching out for help. Tom inspired her and gave her advice about how she can earn money on the Internet with her own web site. If you'd like to tap into Tom's secrets as I have, check out http://www.antion.com. Keep checking back. I'll blog more frequently.
