Thanks Hive account@wecanbesublime, and a slightly belated welcome to Steemit!

Clearly, you're a writer, as well... and this part really resonates:

I must have written enough content for 10 books over the last 10 years on my blog site about success, and it's good stuff. I just never took the time and the discipline to do something more with it.

So far, the only authentically helpful suggestion I've have had came from a friend who's an editor, who suggested I simply pick my 30 best/most popular pieces and publish them as "A collection of Essays" in book form, instead of worrying about "writing a book." The material is already there, so why write it all over again?

I'll go read your intro... hopefully I can keep inspiring!
