In 2003, she wrote the first edition of the e-book while she was pregnant. Prior to writing the book, she had been offering do-it-yourself workshops in South Florida several times a year for business owners and executives who wanted to learn how to promote their business. The book, she thought, would expand her reach to the national level.
