I rejected the first cover proof of my book Soul Proprietor because the red in the New Edition area was too dark and the type on Lindsey’s name bled into the background.
My wonderful book designer Kim Barron made the necessary adjustments; we sent it back for modification, and the revised proof arrived this morning to my liking. Approved and checked off the long list of to-do’s.
Not sure you can see it on this size image, but in the dark area to my right, it says “Foreword by Lindsey Pollak.” I can’t tell you what a huge thrill this is for me. For those of you with children, you know that asking for things doesn’t always get you the desired answer. So, I was a little nervous making the request of my very successful first-born. She’s super busy, and I didn’t know if she’d appreciate the extra task on her list. She knocked me over with her generous acceptance, and touched me deeply with her eloquent words and heartfelt references. Wait’ll you read what she wrote…
I’m excited to tell you that I’m now taking pre-orders. We got the website and shopping cart set up. These first orders will be shipping out a month from today. Be the first in your entrepreneurial network to have your copy! Here’s the link to place your order. One of the bonuses in pre-ordering is that you can get an autographed copy. You can put in any special requests–names, salutations, quotes you’d like included in the inscription in the comments area on the order form–and I’ll gladly include them.
Congratulations, Jane! The cover (and you!) look absolutely stunning. Delighted to hear that Lindsey graciously accepted your request to do the foreword, which makes this new edition all the more special. Wishing you great success with your book! Janet
Hi Jane,
Congrats on getting the new book ready!
I bet your daughter was so proud to be asked!
Also, I think it shows self-confidence and a belief in yourself having your photograph on the cover! (lovely photograph by the way).

Thank you!
@Wendy
Self-confidence or insanity! I think there may be a fine line between the two. 🙂
