Sales is the motor that starts everything in your business.Eight out of ten businesses fail within the first 18 months. That’s an 80% failure rate. And some statistics show that number is as high as 90%.Why do businesses fail so rapidly and how can you and your company avoid being one of them? At the surface level, the primary reason businesses fail is because they run out of cash (lack of sales). However, if you look below the surface, the cracks in the foundation start well before the brutal day of financial collapse.This book is about avoiding those cracks in the foundation so you can be an epic success story and not a failed statistic.In the 1980’s, Don learned that if he didn’t sell, his family wasn’t going to eat. So he learned to sell out of desperation. Don and his wife began their married life off well below the poverty line, so Don hustled to feed his family. He put food on their table for more than four years by selling Krispy Kreme donuts door-to-door; he then went on to sell vacuum cleaners, alarm systems, 18-wheeler education courses as well as a myriad of other products and services.Sell or Don’t Eat is a book for small business owners, CEO’s, Founders, and all types of entrepreneurs about what it takes to build and run a massively successful business from a serial entrepreneur who started and sold not one, but two multi-million-dollar businesses.

What animal can weigh half a ton, run 45 mph with 70 pounds strapped to its skull, belt out haunting bugles that carry for miles, and endure 100 stab wounds a year in its side from fighting? Elk can. Native tribes called them Wapiti, the “White Rump.” No animal is quite like the elk―a true symbol of wildness. The Wild Life of Elk captures this legendary animal in all its glory, following the species though the seasons and through the centuries. It explores the many habitats in which elk thrive, the mythic growth cycle of their antlers and the intricacies of their social structure. The book follows the species through history and shows the many ways that humans have depended on it for eons. Learn how elk defend themselves during fights and from attacking predators, give birth in some of the most majestic locations imaginable, and have adapted to survive brutal winters and blistering heat. Elk remain one of the most dramatic manifestations of the American wilderness, and this book pays them a grand tribute.

As I See...By The Sea is a children's book with whimsical verses and fabric designs to illustrate the verses. Each animal is depicted in its habitat, By The Sea! Steps involved in creating each collage include drawing the animal and finding just the perfect fabric to represent each scene. Readers will be fascinated by the way the textures and colors combine, and will be inspired to try this fabric collage technique.
