The Extraordinary Chapter

Lynn’s first book, The Extraordinary Chapter, is a tale of creating a business, pouring your heart and soul into that business and watching it flourish. It is full of strong, universal advice that will resonate with established business owners and provide a valuable road map for new business owners and fledgling entrepreneurs. There are lessons to learn about… Following your passion Branding yourself and your business Blending business with marriage and family Interacting with your accountant and making financial decisions Selecting the right business for you Relating to your clients, vendors, and staff Accessing your hidden talents and capitalizing on them Developing the art of negotiating and creating win/wins Some of these lessons are presented as “adventure” sections that give the reader insight into the funny, and often chaotic stories of event planning. As the story unfolds, the lessons change from purely business to real life lessons. These lessons include: Helping an adolescent through the loss of a parent Rallying the strength and courage to battle a spouse’s disease Handling loss and navigating the stages of grief Coping with the loss of feeling and your personal identity Rediscovering your purpose and sense of self. In true literary fashion, this book closes with a happy ending. It is a hopeful ending as Lynn embarks on living her next Extraordinary Chapter. As she climbs from the pain of losing a spouse and the insecurity of losing a business and income, she begins to paint a picture of new beginnings, possibilities, and the absolute excitement of embracing them. As she and her boots walk off into a new sunrise, a fresh start and another extraordinary chapter awaits.
