Ditch The Joneses, Discover Your Family: How To Thrive On Less Than Two Incomes! By Cathi Brese Doebler

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: My audience for both my book and workbook on CD are parents who:
• Desire to reduce their hours to part-time
• Desire to stay home full-time
• Desire to explore new ideas with time and financial management
• Desire to consider options while deciding on their family’s lifestyle

Q: What is the book about?
A: Ditch the Joneses, Discover Your Family is the definitive guide on how to thrive on less than two incomes.  The purpose of the book is to help families spend less money, and more time together.

We’ve all felt the pressure to “keep up with the Joneses”.  Often it seems like it takes two incomes to survive in today’s economy.  But what if that is not true for your family?  What if your family can thrive on less than two full-time salaries and flourish by spending more time together?  Ditch the Joneses, Discover Your Family tackles these tough questions using faith-based views and values, and by giving parents encouraging and realistic ideas for a healthy and solid family.

The purpose of Ditch the Joneses, Discover Your Family is to help parents make decisions about their finances that will allow them to actively seek more time together with their children and spouse.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I have lived using the ideas in my book for ten years.  I can speak from my own experience, and I’ve also included research I did on other families who have thrived on less than two incomes.  In order to balance time with family more effectively, I left my full-time job as a Manager of Performance Development and started my own consulting business. The main reason for this change was that I wanted to be the main caretaker for my children. I was able to balance time with my children while running my own part-time consulting business.

As a motivated organizer teaching family-oriented financial responsibility and decision making, I created my book and workbook on CD as a definitive guide for families to use.  I’ve taught workshops on my topic and will continue to in the future.

I have 15 years of business coaching and training experience, and a Master of Science in Corporate Communication.  I live in upstate New York with my husband and two children.

I have an intense desire to make a difference by sharing what I have learned with others. From the time that I was a child, I felt how powerful family love can be, especially when it is given in the security of God’s love.  I want to try to share some of those same basic principles that I learned and saw demonstrated in my home as a child.  Upon finishing my book, I pray each day to God to ask Him to use my book to help someone in need.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic? Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Ditch the Joneses, Discover Your Family challenges the two income assumption, and takes you on a journey toward the joy of discovering your family.  My book provides tools that are user friendly, focusing on realistic ideas for families searching for balance in how they spend their time and money.

As a part of the Ditch the series, I also created a Workbook on CD.  The Ditch the Joneses, Discover Your Family Workbook on CD helps you jump into action and begin making changes right away.  This step-by-step workbook walks you through how to thrive on less than two incomes.  Many concepts from the Ditch the Joneses, Discover Your Family book are included, along with the following special features:
• Spending and debt diaries
• Monthly bill management system
• Family priorities chart
• A comprehensive action plan for you to begin planning with your family
• A personal coaching session with me, the author.

Through integrity and faith-based principles, I bring practical know-how and enthusiasm for flourishing families to this workbook and personal coaching audio session.

The Complete Idiot’s Guide To Working Less, Earning More, By Jeff Cohen

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: The book is for burnt out executives, laid-off workers, struggling entrepreneurs, and really anyone who wants to supplement their income with alternative revenue streams.  The book covers five main paths to working less and earning more including staying in your current job, becoming a consultant, earning freelance income, running a small business, and generating passive income.  You can stay employed or become self-employed and you’ll still be on your way to working less and earning more than you ever imagined.

Q: What is the book about?
A: It’s easy to get lost in the rat race but you’d rather live life on your own terms, with time for friends and family, community, and the activities you love.  If you’re willing to think outside the cubicle, then this book will help you set your own work hours and reset your life.  You’ll find you can survive and thrive on less than a 40+ hour work week.

This book is your ticket to achieving the ultimate workplace benefit, more time and more money.  You’ll learn how to pay your life first without sacrificing income.  You’ll engage in work that best complements and enhances your skills.  You’ll face the most common fears associated with changing your work approach.  You’ll learn how to structure your work schedule around your personal time.  You’ll even fill your address book with networking contacts who help bring business to your door.

In this book, you’ll get all of the following:
- Expert advice on turning your talents into cash through freelancing and consulting
- Tips and tricks for retaining a steady day job paycheck without the rigid 9-to-5 office schedule
- Passive income techniques including real estate investing and internet marketing
- Valuable ways to run your own business without it running your life
- A ten-step, ten year success program for reinventing your work life

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: I have over 15 years’ experience in the field of personal growth and motivation.  I earned a dual-degree in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and Marketing from the Wharton School of Business.  After graduation, I spent eight years at American Express honing my skills in a variety of areas from business management, marketing, and leadership to talent assessment, development, and employee satisfaction.

Facing 25 more years in an unpredictable corporate job to reach retirement convinced me there had to be a better way.  I desired both personal freedom and career stability to truly take charge of my livelihood.  Right around this time, I also found himself in the Twin Towers on 9/11 when the first plane struck.

Surviving 9/11 was just the push that I needed to properly reevaluate my priorities.  I devoted the next three months to a thorough personal analysis of my strengths.  Recognizing I was talented in public speaking, writing, coaching, and Human Resources consulting, I left American Express to launch BoldRoad.com.  My company inspires people to take action toward working less, earning more, and living a better life through books, live seminars, and personalized consulting.

I’ve shared my insights through appearances on CNN, CBS, NJN, and “Voice of America,” and through interviews with USA Today, the (New York) Daily News, the Denver Post, the Chicago Tribune, and the Boston Herald.  The beauty of my new life is that I do all of this work in three days a week while earning more than double my former corporate salary.  This leaves plenty of time to enjoy life with my wife Carol and our two kids.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: This book is not a get-rich-quick scheme.  It’s not a book about choosing your lucky lottery numbers, trying out for game shows, or trolling beaches with a metal detector.  The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Working Less, Earning More is a practical, clear, and most importantly… attainable game plan for reducing the hours you spend on the job while increasing your income.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: This book is just the beginning of your working less, earning more journey.

Thinking Your Way To Happy! Overcome Common Barrier To Happiness And Live Your Best Life NOW! By Robin H-C

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER

Pitch reporters with our up-to-date media databases:

Question: Who is the intended audience?
Answer: This book is designed for busy people committed to a breakthrough in their thinking and ready to experience more power in their lives – today, NOW! Women between the ages of 28 – 50 are the predominant purchasers, however, there is value for all who are looking to achieve new results in their thinking which translates to a Better Life!

Q: What is the book about?
A: Thinking Your Way to Happy is all about being happy and restoring choice in areas of life where, at times,  it may seem as there is no choice. Human beings are creatures of habit. The brain loves the comfort of repetition even if it brings great pain and suffering. People, everyday make choices to; be late, over eat, or to be too busy or stressed for their children, to ignore the budget, to delay health, to hold a grudge, to react instead of respond, to indulge in immediate gratification -  essentially people choose to neglect important areas of their lives – yet often it does not feel as though any choice is involved in this process at all.

The books fundamental message is around governing your thoughts and interrupting automatic behaviours in favour of personal freedom and results that inspire.  The intention of the book is to help you to begin to think from a new place, thus engaging the frontal lobe the area of the brain responsible for conscious choice.  The more you do so, the easier the process of change becomes.

The book addresses taking yourself off auto pilot with your reactions and habit; letting go, and new beginnings. It’s through tiny internal shifts in your perspective that massive external changes can come about in love relationships, career, finance or health.

Thinking Your Way to Happy! also identifies the most common ‘Happy Traps’ to look out for; Give up the ’someday, one day, when day, western mentality where you reserve joy and happiness for when your business is finally thriving, you lose that extra weight, your credit cards are paid off or you meet that special someone.’ Thinking Your Way to Happy! asks you to connect with joy today, instead of in the ever illusive future.

This gem of a book, addresses the limitations in our thinking via conditioning. ‘The world is flat, the world is flat, I know this because the experts said so…’, mentality – essentially how information unchallenged (true or not) can shape our reality. Ultimately any changes in life will be witnessed only after changing in ones thinking.

Q: Why are you the best person to write this book?
A: As a child I was increasing perplexed when people around me were unhappy. To me the option of being joyful and in the moment was the only appealing choice. As a Coach, it has become my life’s work to explore how human beings create lasting change in their lives. My intention is to provide information that expands awareness to experience a greater sense of control over daily choices AND better understanding why people often don’t  and end up in a cycle of suffering and limitation. I research all things that influence human thought; psychology, neurology, bio chemistry, nutrition, philosophy and the quantum realm.

Q: How is this book different from other books on this topic?
A: People have busy lives and are juggling many important commitments; career, children, health, wealth and a social calendar – even  social responsibilities – in Thinking Your Way to Happy! every page stands on its own offering a Life Principle and an Inspiring quote. In this manner, the book becomes a momentary reference guide that can be picked up and put down with compelling insight achieved within moments! There is no lengthy time investment for an ah-ha.

Q: Is there anything else we should know about this book?
A: Thinking Your Way to Happy! is a simple and delightful book offering 112 life principles for daily power and freedom. The book is written by Robin H-C eager to share her empowering philosophies.  Robin H-C is most recognized from her weekly Life Coach guest spot on City TV’s – CP24 inspiring viewers to get enthusiastic about their lives and take action!
