Welcome:
Please select "subscribe to newsletter" on our contact form. RE: The Challenge OF ChangeWelcome to the 12th issue of our Feed Forward Newsletter! My name is Don Fitchett, the author of "The Maintenance War Newsletter". This first area of the newsletter is for introductions and commentary. Remember, the website has many new items added each month. So please browse around and find your gold nugget.If a friend has given you this copy of the newsletter, you can find an online version on our website www.feedforward.com.au Every month we add new book titles for you to download, CDs, free articles and other resources. This newsletter issue, I would like to challenge all readers to change. Change management, change process, change the world! Below you will find two challenges for you to change the world we live in, more specifically; change the industry we have to live with. Challenge Number 1: Change the world by putting in writing some of the knowledge you have obtained for a topic you feel you have become an expert at. You don't have to be a writer or author now days to change the world by sharing your expertise. (There is always some one who can proof read your material. :>)
Make the commitment today by setting some time in your calendar or writing a quick initial outline of some topic you feel you have better than average knowledge of. How will this change the world? This is where Feed Forward Publications can help you. Send us your industry related writing and we will share it with the rest of the world. You can write as little as a page or two (an article) or as much as 30 to 600 pages (a book). It depends on your passion for the topic. We will use our global resource to make your writings known to the world.
Why? Besides doing your part to change management, the process or the industry in general, you will receive recognition for the expert knowledge you have obtained and may even start a life time stream of extra revenue for your self. Take our newest author Larry Bush for example. Larry has been an electrician for 47 years, and in maintenance management for 22 years. We helped him organize his notes and thoughts on how a maintenance policy should be written and it evolved to become the "Maintenance Policy and Procedures Manual Ebook". We currently show his book to well over 80,000 unique individuals in our industry, every month! While the most important fact is that Larry is changing the world we live in by sharing his knowledge, he is also earning that much deserved recognition for his accomplishments. Additionally, at absolutely no cost to Larry, 30 days after his ebook release he started receiving additional income from book sales. Larry, like Mike Sondalini, is on his way to releasing many articles too. Industrial articles help make our industry a better place to work while giving the author even more publicity. The articles we release are distributed on the many
websites we manage, our affiliates and picked up by other industry related
websites. A great article released by us can very possibly reach a quarter
of a million unique individuals every month from around the world! At the time of this release, Larry has three articles which we have publicized for him. They are ... Electrical Industrial Troubleshooting, How a Photoswitch Saved My Job, and How To Reduce Downtime and Increase Productivity. Putting your knowledge in writing not only helps the industry, it helps you. Whether you are a consulting company seeking additional exposure for your company or an individual seeking recognition and additional revenue, we want to review your writings. Please email them to us today! (See also Technical Writing for Business) Challenge Number 2: A New Design Competition With US$999 Worth Of Prizes.
