So we just wrapped week 1 with 42 pre-orders. That puts us in 3rd place for business books and well behind the leader at 90. Still lots of work to do! ;-) We do have 3 publishers interested which is the good news.
If you've placed a pre-order, thank you again for your support! If you intend to but just haven't gotten around to it, hit the button tonight. I want our competition to feel the pressure!! LOL. Thanks for socializing the book and helping out.
More to come. Cheers.
