Tropicana Hotel

The following experience happened to me last weekend in Vancouver:

Just before noon, I was trying to decide whether to go for a bike ride or a run for my daily one-hour plus exercise routine. I decided on a run since I have been biking every day lately and hadn't run for about two weeks. I wante…

David Hancock An Entrepreneurial Author Is... Part 8

The Entrepreneurial Author knows that the journey is the goal. They also realize that they are in control of their work, not the other way around, and that if they are dissatisfied with their journey, they are missing the point of the journey itself. Unlike old-fashioned authors, who often took huge sacrifices for the sake of the goal, Entrepreneurial authors place the goal of a pleasant journey ahead of the mere notion of sacrifices. Continue

David Hancock Ten Things that Agents and Editors Hate

The following are ten things agents and editors hate. They hate when: #1: Writers claim no competition exists. Competitive or comparable books usually exist. Rarely does a book have no competition. #2: Writers claim their books will be the next blockbuster. Although it's essential for authors to be enthusiastic about their books, it's equally important that they be realistic. #3: Writers say how much others liked their books. Agents and editors simply don't care what others think about a bo… Continue

Rebecca Evans Expectations

-“Expectations lead to disappointment, so expect nothing and you will never be disappointed!” An officer in the Air Force shared this wisdom with me in my early years of service. This seemed like good advice at the time and I honestly tried to apply it. The difficulty, at least for me, was that I did have high standards of the world around me and I felt that leaving expectations on the back burner was lowering my own standards in life. For example, I expected to be treated with equality and res… Continue

David Hancock Looks Like B&N Won't Bid For Borders

The saga continues, and it's getting kind of funny, actually. Now the WSJ reports what I've been saying all along: that Barnes & Noble is not expected to bid for Borders, citing in part "the tight lending markets that likely would make it difficult to arrange bank financing" and high-lease prices on some of Borders' stores. It was the Journal touting BN's head fake in May that "it had assembled a team of senior executives and advisers to study the possibility of acquiring Borders" that gave… Continue

David Hancock The Goals of Graphic Design

Graphic design is based on objective goals, not subjective opinions like "I like red!" The design of your Books, ads, brochures, newsletters, proposals, and web site should be determined by the image you want to communicate. Guerrilla Entrepreneurs take an active role in working with graphic designers, commercial printers and web site designers by describing, in detail, the image they want to project. Guerrilla Entrepreneurs can define the image they want to communicate, whether it's "classic"… Continue
