Taking the Mystery Out of Business: 9 Fundamentals For Professional Success will be released in January 2011.  It will be available for purchase from your favorite book store, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com, Smashwords, and from my website.

The world of business is like a mystery novel: filled with suspense and torturous twists and turns. One minute you think you've solved the puzzle and the next minute people are shooting at you from all sides.

Whether you're a business owner, a newcomer to the world of business, or an experienced professional who wants to brush up on your business acumen, Taking the Mystery Out of Business provides you with valuable resources, new insights into old topics, and a map for plotting out your journey as you navigate the waters of the business world.

As an entrepreneur and the founder of four businesses, Linda Faulkner knows all about what it takes to make it in the world of business. She's discovered that professional suicide is caused more by a lack of awareness than any other factor, hence her motto: Clueless is a dangerous place to be.

People in Billings are Terrific!

Just spent eight terrific hours with folks in Billings, Montana talking about insurance.  More specifically, talking about insurance to help them earn the CE credits they need to renew their insurance producer and adjuster licenses.

Thanks to the people who helped make the event so wonderful (and possible!):  Melissa Thompson, Carol Daniel, and Kevin Zoldowski!

I had such a good turnout that I'll we'll be returning to Billings in September 2011 - and probably to offer 11 or 12 hours of CE instead of 8 hours.

Thank you, Billings insurance professionals.
