It's a major accomplishment to write and publish a book. Now that you have started working on selling it, here's something to think about. Statistics show that the best way to increase sales of your first book is to publish a second or even third book. Several of our authors have already done that--Jenni Butz, Judith Sugg, Shirley Enebrad, Nikki Rausch, Mary Waldmann, and Lonnie, Patty and Trevor Pacelli. Next in line is Lance Carter, who is finishing up his second book called Live Big after recently publishing a Six-Word Lesson book, and Trevor and I are both working on new books. It can be another Six-Word book on a different topic, like the one Tracey Cohen is working on, or expand on the subject in your first book with a more in-depth chapter book. We edit and format many types of books, and would love to help with your next one.

The book is written by Lance Carter, who is a triathlon coach and owner of the Everyday Athlete store in Kirkland, WA. Lance is a nine-time Ironman Triathlete who has been training and racing since 1993. He's been coaching triathletes and runners since 1997 with Lance Carter Coaching. As a person committed to a healthy lifestyle, he and two of his friends opened their own specialty and triathlon store, Everyday Athlete, in 2004. His personal mission is "to inspire people to live more fulfilling lives through exercise and mindset elevation." He accomplishes this through his coaching, motivational speaking, and books. Lance says that when you begin the sport of triathlon, there are so many lessons to learn, because you need to learn three sports - swimming, biking and running. Six-Word Lessons for Successful Triathletes will speed up the learning curve. Triathletes are commonly not aware of the many hard lessons they will learn along the way through trial and error. Reading this book will teach you those lessons in advance - before they are needed! Pacelli Publishing is a family service company that edits and publishes books through Createspace, kindle and Smashwords, and they are the founders of the Six-Word Lessons series books, which feature 100 short lessons about any topic.
