Introduction

With this venture, I am the author of three published books and I still don’t consider myself to be a great writer. It really a lightening idea that sparks the desire to share an idea, concept, or feeling with the world.

My first book – How to Open a Spa: 31-Day Guide, was very structured and inspired by Iylana Vanzant’s Acts of Faith; it is a snippet of information and a relatable quote for 365 days. I love this template for a business book because most people are really reading and retaining the information shared in a 300-page book. I like it quick and to the common point- tell me what I need to know
