My shopping cart and email service are up for renewal so it was decision time. I hadn’t sent out a newsletter in over two years, and my orders weren’t covering my costs. I hesitated to close it out because I kept thinking I’d be shifting focus back to my business any day now, and I’d want the resource.
I weighed the options and possibilities and decided to close my bookstore and newsletter down. I have 8,000 newsletter subscribers, and only about 400 blog subscribers, so I composed a parting email to my newsletter list, encouraging them to subscribe to my blog.
As I ran my test emails, I remembered that one of the reasons I had waited to close things down was because I wanted to make some special offers before I give up the store. I hadn’t run any specials or even emailed a hello because my attention was consumed by my health and Lean2Life clearing, and filling orders seemed like a distraction. Yesterday I decided I was ready.
I got a flood of orders and some wonderful notes of appreciation from old SpeakStrong friends who hadn’t found the blog yet.
So here’s the offer. My cart will close on Friday the 14th. Today and tomorrow, as long as my store is up, I am giving away a free copy of SpeakStrong or PowerPhrases for ANY book order.
Go to my bookstore and place an order for any book that suits your fancy. Then, scroll down to the comments/special instructions and tell me which book you prefer.

Then, picture me going into the shed where I keep my inventory in the 5 degree weather we are enjoying today. 😉
Happy to do it! This really is a great offer.
