What Are You Waiting For?
by Anita Pagliasso

A few years back, I was encouraged to write a book based on the training and seminars I was producing for OSSN, various travel conferences, and the home-based agents that work through my agency.

All of a sudden, my insecurities kicked in, and I started asking myself "Who will buy this book? Will they find the information useful? How many should I order? What was I thinking?" I had written a book and didn’t even know how I was going to get it published! Backwards planning? Maybe so, but now in just a few short years, I am very proud to say that thousands of home-based agents have read my book.
