Dodging The Bullet Points is Published

We have great excitement in our house tonight. We received a proof copy of Dodging the Bullet Points. The mailman brought us a copy last week, but the font size was, to say the least, totally messed up. Today's copy has the correct font size, and I am a proud, happy camper.

Now we have no reason to ever sit through another horrible, boring, PowerPoint Presentation. Never again - Yippee !! We can cure world boredom in presentations. (Or is that world hunger we are trying to cure? )

"Dodging the Bullet Points - The 5.5 Step Practical Guide to Presenting with PowerPoint for the presenter who has other things to do in their life" is published, and available on my website http://www.waynebotha.com/.

Many folks contributed to getting this book into print over the past six or so months. It started when I attended Darren LaCroix's Get Paid to Speak Champ Camp in Orlando, Florida, in January 2007. I got good information from the champs. I also met Liz Trendowski and we became accountability partners. Liz played a large part in making Dodging the Bullet Points a reality through encouragement and leading by example. Liz's book "From Butterflies to Speaking Highs" is flying off the shelves, and I hope mine does the same. Email Liz to get your copy today (http://www.thesmarttraininginstitute.com/).

I have learned a ton about writing, authoring and publishing books in this process. It feels that I have made every mistake possible when writing a book, and many steps took longer than I could have imagined. While I was waiting for the mailman to bring proof copies, I wrote an article "How not to write a book". Look on http://www.waynebotha.com/ under Articles if you want to write a book and not make all the same mistakes I did.

Now I must move onto the next step - promoting this book, so that all PowerPoint Presenters across the world get the benefit of my research.
