UPDATE: I am not sending out any more versions of THIS draft, but will send out versions of THE NEXT draft… just leave a comment on this other post and I’ll shoot it to you when I’m ready. THANK YOU so much for helping me get this far!
I just finished editing (second draft) my third book, which is titled Eight Lunches. You’ll see why it has that title in the excerpt below, which is essentially the intro (or, chapter zero).
Writing a book is easy and hard. Okay, maybe it’s just hard… writing isn’t hard for me, but when SHARE my books/ideas with people, very smart people, I become vulnerable (an easy target). But that’s the way it is… and it’s time to become vulnerable… so here goes… if you want to review my draft just leave a comment on this post and I’ll send you the book (I had people contact me directly but it’s going to be easier if you leave a comment). What I’d like is this:
- an HONEST review – what did you like or not like?
- SUGGESTIONS? What needs to be beefed up? What am I missing?
- any grammar fixes needed.
- confidentiality – please don’t share the book with anyone YET.
I’ll share more of my vision for this book in a future post… here’s the excerpt:
EIGHT LUNCHES
“I’m about ready to wrap it up and get a job,” said Paul, clearly dejected.
“Why? I thought things were going pretty good… what’s really going on with your business?” asked Jason. They were at Kneaders, a local sandwich shop, for their almost-monthly lunch. They started these lunches about a year earlier, after they met at a network meeting and realized they lived in the same neighborhood.
Jason’s business was a couple of years older than Paul’s and Paul asked if they could meet regularly to compare notes and share ideas and leads. They both worked out of home offices so they didn’t get the face-to-face socialization they had at their corporate jobs. There’s nothing wrong with a workday without a commute, or unnecessary interruptions by colleagues, or sharing a community fridge, but both agreed that meeting for lunch with someone who has similar business challenges is more than refreshing.
“Considering how well your business is doing, I’m embarrassed to admit where I’m at. I mean seriously, I read your blog and see all the comments and announcements and can’t even imagine having a business as successful as yours.” Paul was desperate to know how to fix his business but it was hard to open up, or ask for help, from Jason.
“Ha, that’s funny,” Jason said with a big grin, “looks can be deceiving!” Everything can be deceiving, he thought – from website traffic to blog posts to buzz about your business.
“I’ve really been thinking about my business and where I’ve come from over the last few years. I actually started writing down some ideas… principles of my success, that have helped make my business what it is today. What if we meet more regularly and talk about these principles and how they apply to your business?”
“Sounds intriguing Jason, but I’m not sure doing what you have done will help my business-our businesses aren’t even in the same industry. You market online, I sell locally. Yours is a web-based product, mine is not technical at all.”
“I realize that, but remember, I’m talking about principles. It shouldn’t matter what industry we’re talking about, or how big your business is, or even who your customers are. I’ve actually been thinking about developing a system for entrepreneurs to help them with their business. I’m not a business coach, and I don’t plan on becoming one, but I love to understand business strategies and systems. Talking about these success principles will allow me to test the ideas in a totally different industry – what do you think?”
“Sounds too good to be true,” said Paul, chuckling as he’s thinking it probably won’t help.
“Maybe it is too good to be true, but I’m game to try it! I’m sure it will help my business too, as I’ll have to critically evaluate my own business and how well I’m doing with these ideas.”
“Okay, I’m sold… what next?” Said Paul, thinking it couldn’t make his business any worse.
“How about we start next Friday? We can have lunch here every Friday from one to three, for the next eight weeks.”
“Perfect. What do I need to prepare for next week?” asked Paul.
“I don’t know – let me figure out what we’ll talk about next week. One thing, though. To make this work I want you to be comfortable sharing stuff you might not have shared with anyone else. I might ask you some tough questions and to make this work you need to be honest with me and yourself. I’ve had to ask the same questions of myself as I’ve grown my own business… agreed?”
Paul didn’t even hesitate. “Not a problem Jason, at this point I’m willing to do what I need to get my business back on track.”
“Cool – see you next Friday,” replied Jason, wondering if he knew what he had just committed to!
And then we jump into the first lunch (aka, chapter 1)!

Hey Jason. I would be happy to review for you if you need another set of eyes. Sounds like an intriguing idea.
May 5th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Jason:
I am on the verge of starting my own solo-preneurship and I think I would make a good guinea pig, I mean editor.
I only provide honest feedback. I was hardwired that way.
Congrats on #3
May 5th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
Hi Jason,
I too would be happy to review your book. As an editor and communicator, I am always looking at writings and seeing the value in them. It would be my honour to help you on this project (and get inside your head a bit).
Way to go on book three. I am impressed.

May 6th, 2010 at 1:05 pm
Hi Jason,
I’d be interested. I launched my communications/yoga business two years ago. For the last year, I’ve had this sort of peer-mentoring situation set up with a close friend and former colleague, though I wish we were as structured as once a week. I’m all about business planning and solid strategies for success, though!
May 6th, 2010 at 1:05 pm
Would be more than happy to review and provide feedback. I work with leaders at MS daily and could add that perspective. Thank you for taking the time to write books that teach!
May 6th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
Hi, Jason. I read your book, “I’m on LinkedIn, Now What?” It’s recommended on my profile. I should send it to you to autograph!!
How about someone who has worked with more than five? How about a perspective from staff? If this works for you, I’d be happy to review the book, and do a little viral marketing for you via LinkedIn, twitter, and FB.
Cheers – Ellie

Hi Jason,
Looks like you are getting lots of eager helpers. Of course, I would be delighted to be included. Are you familiar with Jeffrey Fox’s book, HOW TO GET TO THE TOP: Business Lessons Learned at the Dinner Table? Might be helpful to get a copy.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Hi Jason,
I’d really enjoy reviewing your book and providing some thoughtful high-level feedback if you’re interested. Thanks.

Jason,
Read the first book, heard you speak. Would be happy to review this book – sounds interesting. Thanks!
May 6th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
Jason – I would love to review your book. I seriously looked at the business coach industry for a period of time. It would be great to compare notes.
May 6th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
Hi Jason,
Looks interesting. I would gladly read through the draft and provide you feedback.
For starters, there’s something wrong within this sentence:
““Considering how well your business is doing, I’m embarrassing to admit where I’m at.”
I’m sure you’ve seen it already
Norman
May 6th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
I would love to review it. I hope you don’t mind my mentioning there is a typo in the fourth paragraph of the excerpt. Embarrassed instead of embarrasing would be what you meant.

May 6th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
Hi Jason…I did read your first book and loved it. I mention it in many of my presentations. I would be happy to be a book reviewer as well. Please let me know.

I’ll happily review your book – I love editing. And I love your premise…have been living many similar conversations over lunches, breakfasts, morning dog walk mini-conferences, “let’s meet for coffee” meetings, and meeting while supporting the local wine bar.
May 7th, 2010 at 6:38 am
Jason,
I’m game. I’d love to read it. I’m also going to be moving our offices over into Riverton area in a few months, so speaking of lunches…

I’m interested in reading your draft and giving feedback, Jason. I wish I’d thought of this review method when I was ready to publish my eBook. Jean
May 7th, 2010 at 7:01 am
Jason, I would be happy to be another reviewer for you.
May 7th, 2010 at 7:46 am
Jason,
First of all, I am a huge fan! Now on to my comments about the excerpt:
Great opening:
I love the way you have set up the structure of the book. It’s a very personal and engaging way to set the stage. Structuring the book like coaching sessions is a stroke of genuis. I really need this book and know many small businesses will benefit from wisdom presented through this approach. Well done. I am really eager to read it now that I have read the excerpt.
More critical feedback:
I think there might be a little too much detail about the setting, which is distracting for me. I’d also say that the way the dialog is presented makes it feel like a script. Is there some way for you to make it seem more natural? It was a little confusing that you wrote in the 3rd person, but commented about what was going on inside Paul’s head.
Those are my initial thoughts. When do you expect to publish the book? I am looking forward to reading it.

Two comments for you:
1. What kind of deli is Kneaders? Must be good if you’re eating there so often!
2. Paul could save some $ if you guys packed a lunch and met at the park
Seriously, LOVE the concept and look forward to reading more. Paul’s story sounds all too familiar. I wonder if having a different approach brings his biz success, after all the definition of insanity is…..

I’ll look forward to it.

Jason, I look forward to reading it! I am an entrepreneur and expect to pick up a coaching client who is an entrepreneur, so this is perfect timing.
May 7th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
I am intrigued by just this introduction and would probably read further. I have lunched with friends who also run their own businesses and find I always come away with some new thoughts on how to be more successful, so this touched a resonant chord for me. It seems like a little more entertaining way to share best practices than might otherwise be done.
May 7th, 2010 at 3:10 pm
Sounds interesting, I’d be happy to take a look and give you a review.
May 7th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
Structure looks good and written in a way to communicate with different types of people… I look forward to reviewing the book.
May 7th, 2010 at 6:08 pm

May 7th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
I’d love to review it!
May 7th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
I would be happy to review your book. I read a lot of mentoring type books and, while I don’t implement all their ideas, I find that I get something out of each of them for me, if not my entrepreneurial activities.
I did find the intro dialogue a bit “clunky”. I agree with the comment above about writing in the third person seeming odd, but I’m happy to reserve judgement until I read the whole manuscript.
May 7th, 2010 at 8:19 pm
Hi Jason, Your new book sounds great. I’d love to check it out. I will be at NSA meeting this month. If you are there, I will talk to you there.
May 7th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
Jason, not to sound like a downer here, but this would never happen in the real world. Yes small business owners network or sometimes work together, but they don’t usually sit down with one another and spill their guts on the table about why their business is ready to fold. Maybe it would have been more believable to me if you had the Paul character having a heart to heart with a favored CSR or vendor and they suggest introducing him to you, er I mean Jason for that hard spill the beans luncheons. I am not a small business owner, but rather manage a small business for a large corporation. Almost as good as owning my own – except with annual budgets and someone else’s capital. Anyway, in my industry I have been on many of the Jason side of those talks with customers over the years. I’m a good listener and resourceful. I have found the failing business owner is usually the last person to ask for help. Embarrassment, discouragement, debt,failure…pride busting. Then add worries about spouse expectations, taking care of the family, etc. Well maybe your scenario works if one of players in story happens to run a business consulting business. Just my opinion.
May 8th, 2010 at 6:25 am
Cheryl, hate to break your bubble but as a small business owner for over 25 years, I have had many of those conversations with both career industry and non-career industry business owners and even had analysis and feedback from all levels of small business owners and given it back to them.
I think Jason’s scenario is very believable and almost essential as the loneliness that small business owner face has now met social media and people are talking like never before. The lights are on and people are sharing.
May 8th, 2010 at 6:36 am
thx to everyone who volunteered – I’ve sent out more than 60 drafts to people and have started to get great input already.
Here are some responses to your comments above:
@CareerSherpa – while I like people to only give positive, affirming feedback, I need to make this book stronger/better, and so I need the honest stuff more than affirmation
@Julie Vetter – I’m working on a screenplay, too, actually! Nothing to do with business… hopefully I’ll have it in draft mode within a year or two
@Marlene – you have one of the most creative business names I’ve seen, considering your two businesses which seem to be very different… one name captures them both! Kudos (moflow.com)
@Debra – regarding lots of helpers… that is true (THANKS TO ALL)… I hope to get at least 100 people to review this before I go to the next level…
@Norman & Carol Ann – you are the first two to point that out – I hadn’t noticed
@Steve – I’ll take you up on your offer to buy me lunch. Glad you’ll be closer to my office… and you really need to get YOUR book going!
@Fran – thank you – I’ll relook at that with the other feedback that comes my way – this is the first time writing with this style and I’ve found it much harder than it looks…. perhaps I’ll tone some of the description down?
@heather – Kneaders is that typical cozy deli – great environment, great staff, great food…. and meeting at the park… good point but then I might have to change the title to 8 Lunches Under a Tree :p
@Glenn – regarding third person… will look at that… again, this is my first wack at this writing style… and this is only the second draft
@Cheri – I have had similar conversations to what I have throughout the book with solopreneurs, but agree that this wouldn’t happen with someone in your situation where you have a corporate behind you (confidentiality issues, support team of leadership/board, etc.). I would have never had this type of discussion when I was GM of a software firm but as a solopreneur I’ve had this type of discussion regularly.
May 8th, 2010 at 7:11 am
@Cheri
“Well maybe your scenario works if one of players in story happens to run a business consulting business. Just my opinion.”
I have to agree with Julie here, because of our own experience. We frequently sit down with other business owners – none of them runs a consulting business, but on the other hand it feels like we all run a consulting business during our talks
It does happen. Often and worthwhile. Learning from each other experiences, brainstorming for and with each other, sharing ideas and tips.

May 8th, 2010 at 7:45 am
Jason,
Brilliant idea to ask for reviews from your loyal audience, good buzz and pr.
I also appreciate the coaching style format.
The talking about what was in Paul’s head gives a clearer idea to the reader what you picked up on with Paul’s energy that we as readers would not know unless you communicated it-so that was brilliant as well.
If you would like a review and an interview when you are ready to launch I am happy to do that for you and have it on my radio show. Also happy to help you promote.
@ProsperityGal
May 8th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
I’d love to read it. If it’s anywhere near as good as your first two, it’s destined to be a best-seller.
May 9th, 2010 at 8:19 am
Thanks, Jason, for your kind words. The combination of yoga and communications simply reflected who I am and what I wanted to do with my business. The great name came from a friend: the result of bouncing ideas around about my plans to start a new business.
FYI – I’m Canadian, so my website is actually http://www.moflow.ca
May 9th, 2010 at 11:47 am
Would love to review it if still available.
May 9th, 2010 at 11:59 am
Jason: Interesting…I have a few comments including (a) your writing has the ability to captivate…but, (b) it doesn’t hold me with the personal. I would be happy to discuss this with you some time in the future.
While I am not a professional writer, I have been paid to “write.” And while I have been involved for many years in a traditional set of vocations…I am seriously looking at writing a screen play (from a historical set of events from WWII). Anyway, let’s visit!
Thank you for the opportunity.

Hi Jason,
Having read your previous books, I’d be honored to provide feedback on this one.
I can empathize with the vulnerability aspect, and I am thrilled you put it out there. I’ve been paid to write too, but it always feels vulnerable letting one’s voice be heard. It is refreshing to hear other successful authors feel the same way.

Jason:
A real response? For you? Of course.
First, the conversational tone fits in well with current trends (starting back (for me) with “Who Moved My Cheese” (which did it well) and up to “The Myth of Multitasking” (which did not).
Jason sounds, real, but Paul, who is supposed to be hesitant, is too stilted. There are places where his dialog lacks normal contractions for conversation.
Concept? Awesome. If you’d like me to review as you go, let me know. I’m sure I could use the advice, as my business is probably in a similar rut to Paul’s!

From the intro above, it looks like I’m your target audience. I’ve read several books in this category and would like to read yours and give feedback. Luke
May 17th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
Hi, Jason,
You probably have some brilliant ideas to share. At least you’re smart enough to ask for reader responses before you publish, and that’s a good sign. The last time I was an employee, I was test-marketing books, so I know what a difference that can make.
And I trust you genuinely want to know everything you can, on your way to creating the best book possible, so I’ll tell it to you straight.
My first response: Groan. You wouldn’t be the first to bury the intention of a profound message somewhere under tediously boring dialogue, but I always want to send the author an invoice; reading them requires way too much mental editing.
I find this genre itself doubly problematic: you have to offer that profound message AND write passable fictional dialogue. Most talented novelists would never attempt it. Have you ever noticed that in the movies, people hang up phones without ever saying goodbye? They cut the real-life boring stuff. You did start with a good line, but then got bogged down with description that doesn’t matter.
And you are the Jason? That’s really awkward. Did some English teacher forbid you to use “I”? I’ll bet the whole book would be better if you just told us what you know and how you learned it, and shared some stories along the way–the way you’d share it in a speech, not in a play.
Dialogue makes a great seasoning, but unless you’re a playwright, you only need a touch of it here and there.
On another note, if you want your book widely distributed, then you’re going to need a book distributor and most likely a regular publisher. That’s a whole other area for a lot of homework.
Congratulations on having the courage to ask. It’s always better for one to hear the news up front–before spending a life’s savings on a garage filled with books. Best wishes.

LoL – now who needs to do a bit more of homework themselves?

Sounds like a great read, Jason! Ditto Kathy Hansen’s comment about your supply of reviewers, but I’d be delighted to help in some way. I’ve done field reading, manuscript proofreading and content editing. I would enjoy supporting you in your newest adventure.

Hi Jason,
Looks like you already have plenty of readers lined up, but count me among those who would be delighted to do this for you. Congratulations!

Ditto Kathy Hansen’s comment – I’d be happy to review it if you need more than 100 of us!!
And, in any case, I’ll be eager to see it when it’s done.
