Well I am having a hard time sitting down to focus on the path I had thought was my fastlane of E-Commerce so have decided to roll with what I know from my current slowlane job and write a book on how to do it better. I am a store manager for a major retailer with over $475 million in retail sales under my leadership over 15 years so have a ton of knowledge to share with those looking to go down this career path. I have found the need based off of so many coming into these positions needing to be trained from the ground up and having little to no knowledge of how to do so without their company doing it for them and holding their hands. I know there are a million books out there on leadership but have found many were to motivational and not really functional knowledge and many others focus solely on one portion of the job and not broad enough to help someone be well rounded on more key competencies needed in retail leadership. I won't focus on the marketing etc on it till I'm closer and pick an official title so I can buy a site and hopefully get a lead form to blast out release announcements etc... I am at 24,000 words written at this point and expect that is about 25% done based off the chapters I have outlined.
If I keep pace it will take a few more months doing it on days off and after my daughter goes to bed. I'll be seeking some people to read it and give me opinions on writing style later and then make some decisions on self publishing, all e-book, or trying to get it with someone else to publish but we'll get to that when I'm closer... Just posting as a feel good for myself right now that I'm rolling with something and to help keep myself on point to get it done.
Thanks!
