Hello WA friends a long time ago, 1984 to be exact i started a business teaching forklift truck drivers and H.G.V Drivers it became a reasonably successful business until 1994 when i was burned badly in a lorry fire, this led to all kinds of problems as you might imagine.

I was approached by a customer who owed me a considerable amount of money to merge the business, they needed my low loader to ferry forklift trucks from Italy back to the UK, so we joined only to find out that it was a take over in disguise, What a complete idiot i felt like they took me at my worst time and robbed me of just about everything, not long after my marriage split up and that's why i decided to give up on the idea of any ambition at all.

It had to be easier to go to work and do the job i enjoyed, just come home at weekends and go back for another week on Monday morning.

For about twenty years i have been going through the motions and doing my job, i haven't moaned about anything, i had no goals and nothing to focus on, until the last year or so, shortly before starting WA. Now i have two books published, and i'm on the verge of starting an internet business, last time i didn't even know how to turn a pc on. I'm so exited i feel i owe Kyle and Carson so much and a few more people, what i do owe is a debt of gratitude to all my WA friends, I hope you're all getting your copies of my Children's books as they're released, and i'm sure there will be some collaberations to help everyone out, that's what it's all about, right? I can't thank you all enough so let's just make it happen EH!

Great positive attitude Chris - well done for turning things around and becoming a published author - fantastic :)

I'm only a self published author Jilly unfortunately there is still a smell in the air when you mention self publishing, but there are lot's more now than ever before, a very stiff market.

Inspiring how you have stayed after the pursuit even amid trying circumstances. Best Wishes

Its great to read how you have turned things around. Congratulations. I will be looking for those children's books.

They're on Amazon kdp now, thanks for your interest Jazzmom41

Best wishes for you going forward.

Glad you've managed to turn your life around Chris, onwards and upwards, well done! :)

If you want to do a guest blog on my book website, the offer still stands, Congratulations on getting back on your feet!

I would love to guest blog Booklover2, i'm still thinking we could help each other and be profitable together, my site is aimed at new and established writers, all need the markets your site provides, what about a link to each other somehow?

my email is judu1962@yahoo.com if you'd like to send one, and I see alot of aspiring writers, authors, etc on twitter, LinkedIn and google groups and don't mind sharing them with you!

So i could put a link to your site from mine, how would that work do you think, my email is chrislakin@rocketmail.com i would rather work together in some way, what do you think?

sometimes just commenting links our sites if you fill in your website in the comment section but if I did a guest blog, I'd put all your links on it too anf if you join google there are communities you can join for authors and writers etc, and twitter and LinkedIn have groups for that too and as I think of other ways I'll let you know! on twitter I go by @teslaturd and have a few authors following me and if you have suggestions let me know!

That,s amazing Chris.Very well done to you.Have you your books on Amazon and what are they about.

Hi Tom yes they are on amazon kdp all about a salty faced old sea ted and his trusty crew, moving loads around the lesty ring (canal circle network uk) and the adventures they find. aimed at 4/8 yrs, although my grandchildren are slightly older and they enjoyed them immensly, solo readers.

Sounds good Chris.I wish you well with them.

Hey Chris, it is really good to see you put the bad times behind you and move ahead. Keep it up. There really is a light at the end of the tunnel.

It may give some bruises to have a company in the transportation industry.
I was not injured in my business but I can certainly good feel for how lonely it is especially when there is time in the business.

Awesome story, very inspiring words of wisdom. Love it :)
