Spent a few hours -- ok, all day -- today writing the missing 'Market and Competition' section of the proposal. Most of that time was spent browsing Amazon.com for all the books that touch on our leadership/team management topic. Turns out "browsing" is a synonym for "wandering like Charlie through a Willy Wonka factory of leadership/team management books." It is amazing how many people have been able to translate their thoughts into books. Having come this far, I have a new appreciation for all their efforts. Looking over all those titles doubles down on my thought that there is a market for helpful leadership books. It also makes me feel like we have a fresh approach that is more grounded in experience than theory. Blah, blah, blah. I send it to Mike to get his thoughts on my crackerjack Market and Competiion summary:. "Looks great... Send? You?ve got the honors sir"," I hit "Send" to Miles. If he likes our "Market and Competition" analysis summary, the whole proposal goes to the publisher. If he doesn?t, we have some work to do. Stay tuned.
