Monday evening and I was flying from Southampton to Glasgow to give three seminars for one of my favourite clients (Big Lottery Fund, since you ask).
Six Brilliant Books in the top 25
.
And if that were not exciting enough, then there, in the airport bookshop, was a stand of top-selling business titles.
And on that stand were six from the Brilliant series. I know the autumn is a long way off, but I can’t wait to see my book on the shelves. And I really hope it can make it onto that stand.

Inflation of Hope
There was a time when hoping to get a book published was a big thing. I worked hard, I convinced a publisher, and it was done. My first book is The Management Models Pocketbook.
Then I hoped for another. I pitched a number of ideas and Management Pocketbooks committed to a second book, the Handling Resistance Pocketbook.
At around the same time, Pearson also committed to this project, Brilliant Influence. So by the end of the year, I can expect to have three books on sale.
So what next?
Seeing that stand made me think – now I have a goal to see my book on that stand and others like it. Wouldn’t that be fantastic. I didn’t think I needed any more motivation to make it the best book it could possibly be; but I’ve got it anyway.
… and then?
I’m the sort that’s never satisfied. So if I am fortunate enough to see my book on that stand, I don’t doubt my next goal will be to see it at the top of the stand
… with another one coming up behind it?
