First library deal from mentor lunch contact!

Post by billhewett » Sat Jan 13, 2018 5:53 pm

It finally happened!

At my fourth Road Rally I finally came with a disc that really focused on my strengths, and handed it to three or four people who might actually have a use for it. I followed up with a library owner I met at one of the mentor lunches, and he liked what he heard and asked me to send him more like them. So I cranked out a handful of new tracks and cleaned up some older tracks that fit the bill, and now I have 10 tracks signed to a library for the first time ever!

I still have a long way to go, and a lot of work to do to get there, but this was a great hurdle to get over. And I never would have gotten here without TAXI, the Road Rally, and the incredible advice, support, and inspirational stories from all of you here on the forums!!!!

Thank you, Michael, for creating TAXI and for helping to cultivate this amazing community!

Now it's time to write, submit, forget, and repeat :)

-Bill
