Save $10..."Building Blocks" ...Now in Print!

Drum Roll Please...

At last...the "real" printed book is complete! The proof looks great.

This was my first time using this printing service, "BLURB.com"
They charge half of what the other self-publishing printers charge but the quality of their book product is top-notch. Just like you'd find in any bookstore. And I didn't even choose the "premium" paper option that they offer (for a fee).

I would definitely recommend "Blurb.com" for anyone who wants to print a book of photos.

It's all done online, via their easy to use software. Basically you're just dragging and dropping your pics onto one of their many book templates. Once there, you can resize or move them to whatever position looks best. Very easy to use. You can even choose decorative borders from their menus to decorate your pages.

Anyone could make a really nice coffee table book to show off their work. Photographers, this would make a great (and portable) marketing tool to show off your work to clients. Your prestige and fees go up, once you're "published". Even if it is self-published. In most folk's minds, if someone did a book about you, you MUST be good. Even if that someone who published the book was you!

But, specifically for this book, I have now accomplished my goal. In just a little over one month's time, working on it part time, I have completed this educational, inspirational, motivational children's book.

It's main purpose was to create a reference book in which my daughters could find many of the most important lessons on prosperity. Lessons that I had discovered only after reading hundreds of books on the subject. This book shares quotations from only the most well-rounded individuals, folks who have created a balanced prosperity in their lives - balanced in health, wealth and wisdom. It's not about folks who got rich at any cost while mired in scandal and destruction.

It's about folks who contributed greatly to society and left a path for others (us) to follow.

By getting children involved at an early age, they can begin to form attitudes and behaviors that can benefit them for the rest of their lives. This is a book that will actually become more valuable to them over time, because as they grow older they will come to appreciate the wisdom even more. They will have developed their "own experience" point of reference that lets them view the quotations through "new eyes" and discover anew, that these masters were right all along.

This book can be a lifelong friend and mentor to your family - sitting quietly upon the shelf, always ready to guide you, at just the right time in your life. "When the student is ready, the teacher appears."

How many books like that do you own now?

Money invested may grow or decline over time, but a mind once expanded can never return to it's original size.

I'm glad I invested in creating this
reference of knowledge to expand the minds of my girls. And I'm happy that I could share it with you and your children too.

  1. This is a great idea. I have never heard of this book and cd. It reminds me a little of Rhinoserous success. I found your blog through a search of people with Think and Grow Rich in their profile.

    Kindest regards,
