About How to Start and Grow an E-Commerce Business

Warning: this book cannot make you rich.

Probably not the blurb you expected for a book about making money online, was it?

But here’s the reality: there is no book on earth that can give you the Golden Ticket. The idea that you can print money from a magical money vending machine (“put $1 in, you’ll get $4 out!”) is a lie. It is spread by internet marketing gurus who have a vested interest in your belief in it. More belief in the lie = more seats sold in their “masterclass.”

So, what’s the truth?

You need to learn the fundamentals. In How to Start and Grow an E-Commerce Business, we’ll teach you the time-tested principles of entrepreneurship and digital marketing. We’ll show you the framework that thousands have used to create brilliant businesses, since long before the dot com boom.

But this book cannot make you rich. It’s up to you to find it within yourself to apply the fundamentals to the real world. We’ll teach you the steps, point you towards the right resources, and encourage you to take action. However, at the end of the day, the task of building a great business lies on one person’s shoulders: yours.

If I said anything else, I’d just be spreading the lie.

Author Bio:
Hello! I’m Charles Camisasca.

Since 2016, I’ve been rigorously studying the world of e-commerce and Digital Marketing. Before that, I spent years as a Management Consultant. I did software design and process improvement for several Fortune 500 companies.

But I’ve always wanted to start my own business…And that’s what led me to begin a side hustle in e-commerce a few years ago. What started as a hobby has turned into my full time job. To date, I’ve done hundreds of thousands in sales through my online businesses.

What’s Next?
Although my e-commerce brands eventually became profitable enough that I was able to quit my full-time consulting job, things didn’t start off that way. Listening to conventional wisdom, I failed quite a bit when I got started. It took trial & error and good-old-fashioned process improvement to get things working.

Now, I’m excited to combine my experience as a Management Consultant with everything I know about e-commerce. I’ve created a brand new framework for launching e-commerce products. It worked for me, and it can work for you, too.

I wrote my first book to share that new framework with the world.

What drives me now is a passion for entrepreneurship and a gnawing desire to help other people. I strongly believe in the power of entrepreneurship as a vehicle to change your life; both your finances and your mental health. So, I hope you’ll consider buying my book.

But no matter what, I wish you the best of luck on your entrepreneurial journey!

PAIN IS A LANGUAGE: The Human Body User Guide by Jean-Pierre Perreault

Two 20-year-old cars. Same year, model, brand, options; built the same day, in the same factory. Car A is in mint condition. Car B is going to the wrecking yard. What made the difference in the destiny of these two cars? Which one got regular maintenance, diligent driving, and got its little noises fixed before they turned into trouble?

Do you do dental care? What for? To prevent your teeth from deterio rating, right? Consequence: your stomach is doing better, your pride as well. Teeth: 0.01% of your body mass. Muscles: 45%. Add bones and joints, here’s 70% of you. Did you know that when muscles are healthy, there is no reason for your bones and joints to hurt? When muscles are fine, everything else works better: digestion, kidneys, mindset, performance, relationships, intimacy, focus, etc. In pain? Your muscles are guilty. Any idea what goes wrong when in pain? Not your fault. Nobody instructed you on the simplest way to take care of your physical self.

The regular maintenance we perform on our teeth, our houses and our vehicles are anti-aging actions. What about the rest of the body? Most of the aging of the human vehicle could be easily prevented. Bad driving and no maintenance causes pain, aging, and even worse, potentially leads to other health problems.

About A Divine Conspiracy

It’s a new world for the first fifty Angels ever created. Heaven is under construction and the Angel’s training to become Guardians is about to begin. Heaven is brand new and under construction. The new Angels have been given knowledge, but nothing can prepare them for the astounding sights and smells. The Angels are mystified when they take a tour through new city. Unreal architecture (skyscraper made of white sand and seashells), birds of every color (pure gold) , and a city made of libraries (for those who loved reading on earth), are just a few of the particulars the Angels initial experience. Our story revolves around the new Angel, Adlay; from his first breath, through extensive physical training, his Humanities class, his Worship class with Lucifer, all the way until a divine conspiracy is revealed. Adlay is special. He recognizes the way things should be and how they shouldn’t, especially in heaven. It isn’t long before Adlay gets a feeling Lucifer is up to something, and, with nobody believing him, he vows to find out what it is.
Between training and Lucifer, Adlay has his hands full.
Launch Date is 2/15/21 – Discounted book will be available.

A Journey to Mouseling Hollow: Book 1: The Fabled Two by Robert Feol

While his subjects in The Far Collective love and admire the good King Teegan, only a trusted few are privy to the King’s greatest secret: that highly intelligent, talking mice exist…and 20 seasons ago, they saved the Kingdom of Feldenspar in its darkest hour! When the Mouselings first discovered the mysterious Decoding Stones, they learned the secret of communication between humans and animals, and formed a bond with the royal line of Teegan that has elevated both Mouselings and humans alike. That alliance proved pivotal when the nefarious Rat King, a dark sorcerer able to bend humans to his will, invaded the land of Feldenspar with his terrible, fell legions…yet, against all odds, was narrowly defeated through the heroism of two fabled Mouseling warriors whose names have since been lost to time and legend.

20 seasons later, on a quiet autumn day, the Mouseling Innkeeper Robert Teague, owner and proprietor of The Sleeping Cat Inn and Tavern nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Mouseling Hollow, has his life turned upside down when a strange hooded figure strolls into his tavern and hands him a mysterious summons—a summons which will thrust him involuntarily back into the crucible of combat he thought he’d sworn off forever…while forcing him to unravel a mystery which just may hold the key to the future of the entire Far Collective. With a new menace rising, threatening to taint and overrun The Western Lands, the hearts and paws of a few tiny Mouselings may be all that stand between the forces of darkness and the total subjugation of The Far Collective.

Mark Rusk is a children’s book author who finds it weird that people write their biographies in the third person… so… I’ll write it in the first person!

I’m an Irish author and animator. I’m also an octopus, capable of doing many things at once with my eight limbs, which is useful as my three lovely daughters require that ability most of the time. I have adequate trampolining skills, and my accident to horse play ratio is low enough to be considered passable.

I’ve won many accolades and distinctions in my imagination, and I’ve received the occasional agreeable comment from close friends and immediate family… which is encouraging!

I love great children’s books. I love reading to my daughters, I love beautiful illustration, and I love skillful writing.

A great children’s book isn’t just a story or series of cutesy pictures – it’s an experience, and a memory that can last a life-time. It’s something I strive for in the creation of my tales.

About Being Authentic: A Memoir

Our existence is fragile. I learned that in many intricate ways, so I do not take today for granted. I do not know what tomorrow will bring. I do not even know if tomorrow will come.

On the eve of Thanksgiving 2016, I received the diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. Next to dying, I fear the spread of cancer to my brain and losing my ability to think, speak, or write. This loss would be devastating to me.

The fragility of our life made me want to be authentic. Therefore, I am writing this memoir to be authentic—we become our true selves when we author who we are.

I am afraid of being forgotten. Death does frighten me. But more than dying, I am scared of having no one remember me or, even worse, of being recognized differently from who I was. At the same time, I have never thought that I was entitled to ask others not to forget me. But, not to be forgotten is precisely what I yearn for.

While I am writing for the other, I am simultaneously writing for myself. I am one of the readers and will test the subject as it gets written. My criteria are stricter. I want to say, “This is my narrative.”

I need to be able to say, “This is my narrative.”

“Darren is a word smith and being from the US, I learned some new words from this book! Real talk, his story isn’t unlike many of those of us who have reflected on our journey with alcohol. It was a refreshing departure from the harsh addiction rhetoric I had experienced elsewhere. I cannot recommend this book highly enough”!
– MrsRizMitts, Reader, US

Summary:
Not just another tale of someone who got sober, Darren looks back through hidden emotions and life’s circumstances to understand why he binge drank. His account demonstrates with humour, the power of persistence when achieving goals, and includes NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) techniques. Written in his own unique style, this book is real, supportive and in no way condescending.

When it comes to alcohol, the perception of everyday people, and some professionals, is often misconstrued. Along with millions of others, Darren once found himself always abusing alcohol, and for the wrong reasons. With a broken on/off switch, he struggled to stop, and with a high-flying job leading him further down the road to destruction, playing with his ego, and offering a lifestyle that many people would be grateful for, alcohol started to take over and he almost lost everything.

You may already be sober, sober curious, or at the end of your tether, but through preparation and using this book as a guide, you too can cut out alcohol, finding inspiration from a regular guy who took different methods and made them his own. This battle against the booze highlights these various methods, including counselling and NLP therapy, AA, social media and scouring the web typing in ‘am I an alcoholic’? Pulling on everyday experiences, the author also gives an insight into the ‘problem drinker’ with his relatable and unique booze category scale, proving that limitations and perceptions can be overcome.

Welcome to the world of sober living. Through determination, self-belief, and frozen fruit and tonic (diet of course, no gin), you too can thrive in sobriety by creating your very own Sober Bubble.

Another review from the readers which sums up the message Darren wanted to convey:

“Darren truly writes from the heart and in a compelling way that anyone can relate to. It is a brutally honest account of his journey and recovery. Heartily recommend”

About I am Leonard and other stories

The last cubicle worker on earth is not alone…

Jonas Leonard may well be the only 9-5 employee left in the now fully automated society that turned every man, woman, and child into overly chipper, pierced, and dreadlocked creators determined to make him an artsy member of society.

By day he authorizes art grants in a cubicle with W.A.L.T., the artificially intelligent mainframe computer, to keep him company. But all the while, the painters, the sculptors, the performance artists watch his every move in the coffee shops and on the streets, waiting for him to say something inappropriate about their art…

About You Do You(ish)

You got the best grades, you’re never afraid of a challenge, and you work your a$$ off at work. But.

Something just isn’t right. The pressure, the politics, and the PowerPoints have left you perplexed, paralyzed and maybe even panicked…“Is it actually possible to have the career I want and deserve?!”

Former corporate CEO turned Professional Pot-Stirrer, Erin Hatzikostas, is on a hell-bent mission to help you have the big career you deserve, without compromising everything else.

You Do You(ish) hurls aside the crusty, decades-old career advice you’ve likely heard for way too long: lean in, executive presence, network, blah, blah, blah. Instead, this book will help you see that there’s a better way to have success and get great results. You succeed, you don’t sell out.

You Do You(ish) will take you on a roller-coaster ride that will have you go deep, say “aha”, and possibly tinkle a little while laughing. The book is whimsical and inspiring, yet also grounded in Erin’s proprietary H.U.M.A.N.S. framework – Six Principles of Strategic Authenticity.

You will…
Gain confidence that authenticity in the workplace is not only possible, it’s actually your new secret weapon for success.

Erase the self doubt you have and stop relying on the “Compromise Calculation” you’re likely running in your head (especially us women…sorry, but it’s true).

Start to fall in love with your work and life (again) by not just being authentic, but by doing authentic.

Eliminate the dreadful work and job anxiety that haunts you when facing the BS at work.

Step into your superpowers by tuning into a new frequency, while tuning out the Sucky Songs you’re singing to yourself, like “I’m not good enough” and get specific tips for self development to ensure you get the success you deserve.

Shift your thinking from “How do I improve myself?” or “How do I become a better person?” to “How can I get addicted to a new way of being?”

Realize that authenticity is actually a much more nuanced and powerful concept than simply being yourself.

Stop pushing aside the big dreams you once had by succumbing to the thought that this job is “good enough for me”.

Unleash your full potential by using the six specific strategies for self growth – through the H.U.M.A.N.S. framework – and start experimenting with the real, simple, and tangible authenticity examples carefully laid out and designed to provide you with immediate results.

Find and enjoy the financial abundance that comes from pursuing and achieving a bigger career while also having work life balance.

Achieve even more joy at work and in life by joining the bigger authenticity movement, including by becoming a (good) A-H.O.L.E!

So, are you ready to stop settling for “good enough” and start believing you can have the big career you deserve?
