“I have a passion about reaching people, especially women, with my message of taking personal responsibility. I have seen so many of my colleagues and friends who lose a spouse, and then find that they are unable to financially support themselves and their family. My mission is to show everyone that working towards a goal of being able to support yourself is not just a good idea, but essential.
When I met Jeff West, I had no idea that his ability to listen to my story, hear my mission and skillfully craft my message into a powerful story would change my life. He took my life stories and my lessons that I teach my sales team and wove them into a parable that grabs at the heartstrings. You read the story, fall in love with the characters and before you know it you are learning the lessons, too.
I am confident this book is changing people’s lives. The story and the lessons are that good.
The most amazing part of this book, though, has been how much my life has changed. We didn’t just write a book together: we created a brand. A brand that I can now build into an empire. Working with Jeff has been a transformative experience. If you have a mission and want to work with someone who has the skill to bring that mission to life, contact Jeff. I cannot say enough good things about him, his work ethic and his writing skill. Fabulous experience all around.”

“Said the Lady with the Blue Hair starts with a poignant question: Who knew? The protagonist of this short novella is Kai, an unexpectedly single mother. She must create a new life in circumstances she never anticipated, and she feels very much alone. That challenge is familiar to all too many people: Nobody ever knows what the future will bring. This business parable walks the reader through the inspiring story of how Kai builds a new life by creating an independent career for herself. The book’s subtitle may be specific – 7 Rules for Success in Direct Sales Wrapped in a Wonderful Lesson for Life — but its user-friendly advice offers encouragement and guidance for anyone facing the need to reinvent themselves.”
