Hello Pesso, Everyone,

 

I have just joined too, after receiving an email invitation.

 

I am not sure how to start a new thread/chat/conversation yet, so I just reply here...

 

I am a #1 International Bestselling Author and Business/Executive Coach. I use Square mostly when I do speaking or events and do a book signing, as most of my coaching business are paid by Paypal and/or direct bank transfers. 

 

My book: Connection - The Currency to Happiness; Access Your Happiness Right, Right Now has achieved #1 bestseller in Australia, Canada, UK & #5 in US, making it #1 International bestseller and many readers have become published authors after reading the book. I have received many heart-warming reviews sent directly to me.

 

I published the book because of two kids who took their own lives due to cyber-bullying. As an extension of the book, I have started 3Hearts, a project that has helped many people stay connected and transform their lives during COVID, and I offered the service for free.

 

Here's my LinkedIn profile as a way to introduce myself - https://www.linkedin.com/in/linda-duong-author

 

Thank you in advance for your assistance in this community!

 

Kind regards,

Linda Duong

Thanks so much for joining us, @LindaD1 !

 

Congrats on the success of the book, and 3Hearts! I'll definitely have to check them out.

Very cool that you use Square for speaking events and books signings!

 

So great to have an author join us in the Book Club, and I hope you can read along with us, and share your perspectives and experiences on the books we read-

Hello. I'm Kara and I've been a small business owner since 2017 in the real estate industry, but my passion is crafting and I'm working toward creating an Etsy store and doing craft markets. My passion for the things I love has always been a big part of me, which is how I came up with my brand Corgis, Crocs and Coffee. People know me for these three things and it just fell into place. I have 2 corgis, a collection of Crocs (yes, the shoes. They're comfy and sexy ๐Ÿ˜), and I collect coffee mugs from everywhere I go. Along with my 2 corgis, I also have 4 rescue kitties. 3 Black cats and a tiny tuxedo tiger who will forever look like a kitten ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›
I never realized this app had a thriving community within it that did stuff like this. I'm excited to jump in and get to know other like minded business owners. 
My favorite fun books are the Irish and Key trilogies by Nora Roberts. I haven't yet picked a favorite business book. I just read Superfans and it was really interesting and informative for marketing.

Welcome @Corgi-Mom to the Seller Community and the Book Club! We're excited to have you here too-

 

That's so exciting that you're expanding your crafting passion into a business. I love that brand and that you're chasing your passions and a great niche! I highly recommend joining our Artists & Makers Group too, so you can connect with other crafters. 

 

Thanks for sharing so much about yourself and that adorable pup pic! Feel free to post as many pet photos as possible, haha.

 

Ooh I haven't read Superfans yet, but I'll definitely look into it-

 

Thanks again for being here! You can check out our current & previous books here, and I hope you join us starting our next book The Mountain Is You on July 1st.

Hello everybody,

 

My name is Dain Taylor. I'm from Shelbyville, Indiana. My business name is Dain Ray Devon Books, and my website is dainraydevonbooks.com. I am hoping to gain insight about the best practices to increase my brand and to let the community be aware of the need for sponsors for Christian orphans in the country of Pakistan. I happen to a chair over the orphanage with Archbishop there. My favorite book is Life without Limits by Nick Vujicic and of course, the Bible. I am on You Tube, Instagram, and Facebook.

Welcome again, and thanks so much for joining us, @dainraydevon ! 

 

Definitely check out the previous books we've read together over on our Bookshelf, and see the summaries and discussions we've had for each of them. We just finished Day Trading Attention all about social media use, and The 1-Page Marketing Plan could be super useful too!

 

We'll be starting our next book in January, and hope you can join us for it!
