My Mistake and Why You Should Not Make One
My Mistake and Why You Should Not Make OneLeslie Adams, a successful author and self-employed writer, always hires people for her books in order to market her books. Leslie is the author of three books. Two are written by her, while the third was written by someone else.In Leslie Adams' case, the third book was written by someone else. Leslie gave the job to her husband, John Adams. Leslie thought the people in the book would be in her circle of friends, but did not see that her circle had expanded beyond her own circle of friends. Leslie found the two men that she hired to write the book writing it, even though they had no previous experience writing.When Leslie Adams hired her husband to write the book, she had asked him to 'go for it'. She had hired him knowing that he was an inexperienced writer. This is one thing that a business owner does not want to do when hiring employees.John Adams had been an editor, and Leslie Adams knew that she could trust him to edit the manuscript tha t she had in mind. The only problem with hiring the two men that she hired, was that the two men wrote and submitted the manuscript first. This allowed John to get input from the three or four people in his circle of friends that he needed before the manuscript went into the hands of Leslie Adams.This is one of the things that a business owner does not want to do when hiring employees. If you hire someone who is not experienced with writing, and you are not sure of what your business will need, it is the business owner's job to wait for the person to finish the work and then hire them. This is one of the most common mistakes made by business owners. If you have time to wait, hire someone who has been writing professionally.Leslie Adams was not a business owner. In fact, her husband is a retired businessman. Leslie was writing because she needed to find a new job. She did not want to start writing again, but she was in the position of having no money and was looking for a job.Leslie Adams' resumes writing is a mistake that many business owners make. However, when she was unsure if she could afford to pay a retainer, she turned to her husband to help her, and she managed to finish the manuscript in less than a month.
