Thanks for sharing, Dien
Calling him just a "would-be author" has to be quite an understatement.
Dr Eric Maikranz has worked as a
- welder
- bouncer
- radio DJ
- book critic
- tour guide
- translator (he studied Russian literature)
- tech professional
and other jobs before writing his debut novel.
In fact, Dr Eric still works at
Oracle as a vice-president at their Denver offices.
Why am I stressing these facts?
A lot of "lucky" coincidences are anything but. There's usually a PLAN that can be teased out from reading between the lines.
[Speaking of a PLAN, at this point, I'm supposed to plug Gordon's brilliant guide on setting up ACTION PLANS that really work. But I won't...]
Seriously, behind the flashy headlines, I can see a success story that was really built on YEARS of building up the right network of skills and the right people.
Thanks again for sharing, Dien
