Annual Business Plans

It is important to write a new Annual Action Plan in November or December each year. These will list anything that you didn't have time to accomplish over the last year and what you hope to accomplish in the next 12 months. The annual action plan briefly outlines the steps or tasks needed to accomp lish each goal for the upcoming year. Action plans help to hold yourself and your partners or co-writers accountable. They help you become tenacious, set up organized processes that save you time and money in the future. Action plans act like a map that the entrepreneur follows step-by-step, taking them where they want to go within a short period of time.  Contingency Plans take in the "what if" scenarios of each activity, event, contract or appearance. A balanced action plan will consider these scenarios and plan for them in advance. • What if my phone connection fails; do I have a back up system in place so that I can still participate in an interview?  • What if my guest...

In The Media

Our long time online writing friend of some 20 years or so Donna Sundblad invited us for an interview on her Book Hookup Blog recently. Donna, in fact, runs several blogs. In between managing those, she is also a published author and a book reviewer. That's one busy gal!  Dave joins us in this discussion, which is always a rare treat - as I'm usually doing media appearances on my own.  His insight into imagery, graphics, web maintenance and drum teaching are fantastic.  Check out the interview @: https://bookhookup.blogspot.com/2023/03/interview-with-authors-lillian-and.html  ~~~   Discover the Brummet's Books on Amazon :  https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0845RLK1X  Find Them Online via :  https://taplink.cc/brummet  https://linktr.ee/LillianBrummet ~~~

World Of Writing - Children's Author Interview

World of Writing - Children's Author Interview Today we are joined by children's author Maureen Young. She and I met almost a year ago, about the time that I had begun the task of reaching out to connect with writers within the Kootenay region of BC - Canada... (Remember the film "Roxanne" with Steve Martin? It was filmed in one of the small cities within the Kootenay region). As it happens, Maureen happens to live in the same city as us. Anyway I had started the Monday Writers Meet-up event (via Zoom) where we could all network, find mentors (or become one), ask questions etc. Maureen was one of the regular attendees for a while there. Recently, Dave and I found that we had to divert our attention elsewhere and I no longer run that group. However this led to me getting to know Maureen on a deeper level - to witness, and sometimes offer advice, her journey to publication. Today we get to honour that friendship by featuring our writing friend here today.  Here is a di...
