International Best Selling Author
Today is a bit of a personal blog.
About a year ago I was asked if I wanted to be part of something truly wonderful and that was to write a chapter in a book with 44 other women from around the world. I had never been part of a collaboration, my last 2 books were all my own sweat and tears. So to be honest I wasn’t sure. It took a few days of thinking and I said yes that I would love to.
In life sometimes opportunities are presented to us and we just don’t take them, for whatever reason, it may be fear or something else. Over my lifetime most opportunities that have been presented to me I have jumped at and boy am I glad I jumped at this one.
I wrote my 1000 word chapter pretty quick, I knew what I wanted to say and the world to know. Then over the next few months it was editing, writing an into about myself, finding a photo to fit and meeting, albeit virtually all the other women who had taken part.
What an amazing group of women I had collaborated with. From all walks of life, from the USA, Canada, UK, Bahamas and Australia, so many incredible and talented women who I would have never gotten to know if I hadn’t said yes!
A month ago we had a virtual launch and within the first 12 hours of our launch we had hit #1 Best Seller in 3 categories in 4 countries! WOW what a feeling that I can now say that I am an International Best Selling Author!!
The power of story telling is incredible and having read the stories in this book from the other women is so uplifting and empowering. What they have gone through and come out the other side from is nothing short of miraculous in some cases.
So thank you to all those that bought a Kindle version on our launch day, you help us hit #1! To those that would love a signed copy of “Voices of the 21st Century – Women Empowered through Passion and Purpose”, you can purchase one from my website at https://www.carolcooke.com.au/books or you can contact me by email at carol@carolcooke.com.au
Remember that if you are presented with an opportunity just go for it. You just never know how far that opportunity will take you!
