Introduction

My old website (that I no longer have), launched on 01

February 2012 (1-2-12), although I did a couple of “trial” blog posts before this. I passionately want to help people

live much more fulfilling working lives. I want them to get

out of the bed in the morning enthused and fired up

ready to enjoy their working day and have fun. I call this

state “Working Wow!” and I have been enjoying this working life experience for years now. I want to share it

with you.

I want you to get out of the bed in the morning enthused

and fired up ready to enjoy your working day and have

fun. I call this state “Working Wow!” and I have been enjoying this working life experience for years now. I want

to share it with you.

As many of you may know, getting a website set up takes

a bit of knowledge to do, you need to spend a little cash

and get a little help. I knew nothing on 07 November 2011

on how to do this but I got it up and running by 01

February 2012, the date I had set myself. Thanks in no

small part to Chris Farrell.

However, the next task is to drive traffic to your website. I

got some help from the teachings of the wonderful Kim

Roach.

One of the methods that is outlined by Chris Farrell and

Kim Roach is to have EBooks as a means of publicising

your website.



Therefore as I had collected in excess of 2,500 quotes in a

Word document, I thought that I would share these with

others in a series EBooks. This is one of those EBooks that I

hope that you enjoy. And what’s more I am giving these away FREE on my website.

Please check the other great eBooks that I have written

including more Quotes of Note volumes of 101 quotes in

each. There are currently 25 of these series in total –

please see the end of this eBook to find access to the free

other copies or visit my website www.workingwow.net

I hope that you enjoy reading these quotes!

Thank you all so much for your support.

outside themselves, you can be sure they have

never yet found it.” - Forman Lincicome
