Little Green Book.

The next book in the little book series, Jeffrey Gitomer’s Little Green Book of Getting Your Way. I’m finishing the final, final, final, final edits today. Did I mention these are the final edits?

Leslie - Congratulations on the new book! It must feel wonderful to work on something so hard, make it perfect, and then send it off into the world. How neat!

Footprints.

My dad. My protector. Growing up, he made sure that I was always safe and happy. He provided for our family — working hard each day. He has shared his talents and hobbies with all of us. And for that, I am thankful. When I wanted to go places (high school parties or other various…

Andy Warhol.

I never knew much about him — but learned in the last couple years that his original work was in the fashion world, drawing marketing print pieces for various magazines. I read an interesting article about him in the recent issue of Harper’s Bazaar in honor of…

Final stages of edit.

In Las Vegas… working all day on my final changes for the green book. It’s such a fun process for me — taking Jeffrey’s manuscript from square one to final completion. The final stage is my most favorite part. It’s where I can add my own special flair and make things just perfect. Yesterday I…

Valerie - and what a talent – to be able to take someone’s words and refine them from coal to a diamond!

Studio Image.

In honor of what Ali calls "Studio Friday" I am posting a picture of the art wall in my studio. These are some of my most favorites pieces, acquired all over the world. In other exciting news, The Little Gold Book of YES!Attitude is #1 on the Wall Street Journal business best-seller list.
