How an unknown self-published author turned his book into a Hollywood movie...

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
