They are called virtual assistants

My search for an assistant continues. I have learned the official title is Virtual Assistant. Did you know that with the power of Internet your assistant can live virtually anywhere? How wonderful is that?

My assistant already has a title - that makes me feel like I am getting closer to finding the ideal person or persons to work with. I even found a course my virtual assistant can take to make them an exceptional virtual assistant.

Just wait, I have marvelous plans! I am so excited! ......... but actually I am pretty well always excited.

By the way, I have discovered that posting on forums and writing articles are marvelous ways to advertise......I thank all my visitors to my sites and my blogs.

I'm still looking for that assistant!

Yes, the adventure continues as projects I want to do seem to stack up around me. How long have I been saying I need to publish into print format my first book? How about the other books that are written or part written? Help! Then there is my new Life Coaching enterprise and all the things I want to do for it. What will happen now?

Well, using Law of Attraction I am asking and I know I will find exactly the person or people I need to help with these projects. I will now just wait for inspiration and allow as I know that because I ask and I believe - I will receive.

I live in joyous anticipation of more continuing adventure as I expand my Live Your Dreams enterprises through my books and life coaching. I promise to keep you posted!

Live Your Dreams

I have officially become a Life Coach. Now I am a Life Coach and a Writer. My new website is complete and I even have clients. Have a look at www.LiveYourDreamsCoaching.com and let me know what you think. I coach on how to use the Laws of Attraction to your benefit. The teachings of Abraham-Hicks and the Laws of Attraction have been a huge inspiration and wonderful guidance in my own life. How is that for a wild detour to book writing? Actually all the writing I do is about living your dreams, and I have been coaching people most of my life, so I think it all ties in very well.

This site www.SuzanneMarieBandick.com now directs everyone to my www.OnlyinMexicoYouSay.com book site or my coaching site. The future also holds two more books I am writing which are mentioned on my main site. This is really fun!

I of course will continue to keep you posted on here about my book publishing adventures and once I have learned all the ins and outs you will be sure to be able to complete the process of self publishing yourself more quickly than I. I seem to keep taking detours! I am enjoying myself though - which is of prime importance in life.

May you enjoy all your adventures in life, Suzanne.

P.S. On my Live Your Dreams Coaching site you can sign up to get my free monthly Live Your Dreams E-zine and I offer a complimentary introductory coaching session as well as a Live Your Dreams Using the Law of Attraction 3 month course that we conduct over the phone.

I need an Assistant!

Happy New Year Everyone! A new year can mean increased focus and more goals - it certainly has for me. However, I have added that all will happen in an easy and relaxed manner and in a healthy and positive way. No sense getting all stressed about it all. Actually, I feel more clear, focused and empowered than ever! One way that I see being able to achieve so much of what I have chosen to accomplish this year is with an assistant.

In 2007, I plan to have 4 books available as eBooks and in print. I am also developing a Life Coaching Business (website under construction) to help empower people to "Live their Dreams". That means a new Blog coming, a new E-zine and more articles!

Does anyone know of someone who can layout a book for traditional print, design book covers, edit (yes, check my spelling and punctuation), do internet research, post my articles all over online, and help with website development? Someone that is perhaps bilingual - English/Spanish, and loves to do the above with a Can Do positive attitude?

Hold on - I may need more than 1 assitant to keep up! I can't even keep up with all that! 3 assitants! That's it - I need 3! Look out Playa del Carmen - look out world! Because with 3 assistants I can get a lot accomplished....maybe I can even blog on here more often.

Are we focused on a book?

One might think I am not focused on a book or on marketing - I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted on here! What an embarressment! I am beating myself with papers from my desk as I type. What have I been doing? We did pick up a new truck in Houston and drove it home to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. That was an adventure! Maybe an adventure for another book. You would not believe the huge potholes and rough roads we encountered! That is why you do not drive at night in many places in Mexico.

Anyway, I am back and ready to write, and print those books, and do whatever I need to do. Never mind that Christmas is coming and most Mexican businesses close for 3 weeks over the holidays! Now where did I put my list of printers for books?

If you are waiting for news and do not see enough posts on here please feel free to contact me even if you fear waking me from my hammock nap! I always wake up happy.

P.S. How to Buy Real Estate in Mexico is my next book!

Book Printer Update

Great day everyone! Just to let you know, it is a sunny and beautiful day here in the paradise of Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Everyone is appreciating it immensely as we just went through some rainy weather. It was good weather to write in though as I didn't feel like going to the beach in the rain.

Currently my book has been only available as an e-book but that is about to change. I have always known I wanted to self publish a print version of it. I have narrowed my search for a printer down to two companies. Who will I choose? When will the print version be available? Where will it be available? Check back in a week or two and I'll let you know! How exciting!

Choose to make every day outstanding! Suzanne

P.S. Thinking of buying real estate in Mexico? My new book will be out soon - it will be available in e-book format and there will be a regular print version as well!

Life coaches

Great Day Everyone! As I told you, I would share my journey of writing, self publishing and marketing books. Part of that adventure seems to be the fact that I have hired a coach. Interestingly, I did not choose a business coach but I chose a life coach. Her name is Eva Gregory and she is fabulous.

She is teaching me to follow my passions, to fully enjoy life and to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that all manner of successes are mine. The writing of my real estate book is flowing along and I already know what my third book will be. I have been selling my current book and have about 90 subscribers for my "Only in Mexico" newsletter. I get thank you notes all the time from happy readers! How cool is that?

I am in the process of going beyond just writing books - I am creating a visionary business; combining books, seminars and coaching to help people live their dreams in all manner of ways.

If you would like to find out more about what I am learning (I promised to share all), have a look at the following program:

Leading Edge Coaching Products and Services

It is a comprehensive weekly program for reaching your goals in 12 months. The program is broken down into lessons with excercises and actions to be taken weekly. You participate by conference calls and internet so you can be anywhere in the world.

I have discovered that it is a small investment for a life of joy and ease. You can find all kinds of information on her site. Enjoy!

May today be an outstanding day for you! Suzanne
