Hi everyone,
I've been getting several questions about my book that @DutchRooster so brazenly plugged yesterday, so I thought I'd plug it myself.

It just came out and is about a serious kitesurfing accident I had a couple of years ago at Sydney's Northern Beaches. Or rather, about the two year recovery journey that followed after I came out of my coma. I wrote it specifically for a big sub-group of us, sales professionals, to share what I've learned about dealing with setbacks and how to persevere when things don't go your way. I use my personal journey as a backbone throughout the story to share what I've learned, and how to apply that in sales.

So if you're in sales, or have a buddy who is, it might be a good Christmas present. You can get the ebooks from Amazon, Apple, and Kobo (links below), and the paperback from www.franklodewick.com/books.

Let me know what you think,
Frank

It was amazing how many of those who saw the accident started using helmets after that accident.. For a while at least.

How naive are you Frank, thinking that Western Australians read?

Oh, outside of Pornhub menus and Seabreeze.

I haven't seen you Kiting for awhile Frankie. Hopefully I'll see you again soon at the usual spots. Good Luck with the book.

Merry Xmas Mate and a consistent NorEaster New Year.
