Author Interview with Zhena Muzyka: Life by the Cup



A Conversation With Zhena Muzyka
Author of "Life by the Cup: 
Ingredients for a Purpose-filled 
Life of Bottomless Happiness 
and Limitless Success"

Zhena Muzyka
Featured Author
Zhena Muzyka

ABB: Why do you feel you had to write "Life by the Cup: Ingredients for a Purpose-filled Life of Bottomless Happiness and Limitless Success?”

Zhena: After my experiences as a single mom-entrepreneur in a tough world, I wanted to share my experiences and insights with others. Starting a business when you’re in dire straights can be a great solution, not that many people think about it, but after growing my business into the millions of revenue—which was so unlikely given my circumstance—I wanted to share my secrets in hopes others would be inspired to pursue their dreams, no matter how big the obstacles.

ABB: From where do you get your ideas?

Zhena: Really from my travels in Sri Lanka and India, and navigating my situation with my son needing so many operations.

ABB: Do you ever experience writer's block, and how do you overcome it?


Zhena: Yes! And when I do, I meditate, journal and exercise to shake it off. Hemingway also gave great advice I follow religiously: to write one true sentence. It works every time!

ABB: What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

Zhena: Write every day, write in a journal for yourself and then write with more intention on your project. Journaling helps clear the mind and thoughts so you can home in and focus on your project.

ABB: How do you market your work? 

Zhena: I use social media, email lists of influential friends, publicity and events.
Are some avenues more successful than others? Considering this is my first book, I’ll have to report back!

ABB: If your book was made into a movie, who would play each role?

Zhena: It’s been optioned by Mark Wahlberg’s production company who created Entourage and Boardwalk Empire, so I get this question a lot. My mom would definitely be played best by Goldie Hahn, dad should be Sam Elliott, it’s up in the air who would play me, my son, my tea workers and my husband, we’re working on that now.

The Natural Laws of Selling, by Daniel Jacobs


The Natural Laws of Selling, by Daniel Jacobs
In two thousand and two, I undertook an investigation to determine the fundamental principles and basic principles underlying all selling.

A thorough research culminated, in two thousand and thirteen, in the heuristically discovered (trial and error) Natural Laws Of Selling, and the self-evident, irrevocable basic principles that provide the bedrock and driving energy behind all sales techniques and methods.

It turned out that this was hiding in plain sight all the time, but only revealed after sweeping away the false assumptions and wrong conclusions clouding my view.

Here is what I discovered: methods of selling only failed only when they did not align with the natural laws of selling.

What is a natural law? It refers to something that is verified or disproved by direct observation based on empirical fact rather than reason or logic.

A natural law does not require your agreement, only your willingness to look and see for yourself. Further explanation, clarification, or interpretation is unnecessary, as the law stands on its own.

Of course, there are innumerable ways of applying any one of these natural laws. And when these ways produce good results, it is always because they align with some basic principle of selling.

The true value of this writing, however, comes from the focus on the importance of principles over methods, as simply recognizing that these natural laws of selling actually exist can lessen the complexity and mystery about the subject.

Any article, selected at random, contains enough invaluable (usable) information to boost your sales, today!

Building your selling methods on the basic, unchanging laws of selling will give you the confidence and certainty only dreamed of, and results you always hoped for.

The Secret to Leadership: How Not to Suck, by Thomas DiPaolo


The Secret to Leadership: How Not to Suck, by Thomas DiPaolo
An Explanation as to Why Leaders Fail and a Simplified and Different Approach to Becoming an Effective and Respected Leader

The Secret to Leadership: How to Not Suck, takes a different view and approach to leadership study. This book will help break down the very basic principles of effective leaders and strip away the over complicated and intimidating ideas that currently exist within leadership study. It will help you to identify flawed practices and concepts of leadership which should be eliminated and refocus on the basic principles of successful leaders. Sculpture's are not created by constantly adding material in hopes of creating a work of art but rather by removing material. Like carving a sculpture the strategy is to carve away material that is useless, and which hides truth, to reveal your vision which lies beneath. Through the process of carving away over complicated theories in leadership you can help identify, simplify and refine your leadership style which enhances your effectiveness and abilities. This book focuses on internal exploration and self reflection as opposed to searching externally for new ideas and gimmicks. Leadership is not an entitlement and is never awarded or attached to a certain position or social status. It is earned and lived through everyday actions and ideas. There is nothing complicated about being a great leader and it’s a mindset that is carried naturally and extends well beyond the workplace and into all facets of life.


About the Author

Thomas DiPaolo was born in Florida in 1976. His first published book was in 2011 How to Win Any Fight Without Training. He has since published several other personal development books including The Secret to Understanding Men, Things a Man Should Know, and The Secret to Leadership.

Perception is the first Novel by Thomas DiPaolo and the first book in the "Historians" series. Perception is a Sci-Fi thriller which delves into the theory of time travel and coexistence between future and present humanity while being perceived as extra terrestrials.

Stolen Justice, by Tseghe Foote


Stolen Justice, Tseghe M. Foote
"Stolen Justice" is about injustice in corporate America. Upon Ms. Foote's personal journey to America from Ethiopia, Ms. Foote first believed a person could obtain the "American Dream" by working hard. She also believed in a "just" U.S. Court System. Now, however, after going through horrendous court battles (from 1996 to 2007), her beliefs in the system have been corrupted. The case was about racial discrimination & losing her store in an upscale mall.

After going through years of litigation, a jury found the shopping center owners guilty of racial discrimination. For pain, suffering, legal expenses & 6 years of interest for "damages," the total amount was over $4 million. But because of her lawyer's negligence, she lost most of the money. She then sued her lawyers with the help of a legal malpractice lawyer. The jury found them negligent. The result of this & her physical deterioration are the reason she wrote this book; that is, to expose the corruption of the corporation and the ensuing legal malpractice, but also to aid those who may have gone through or may have yet to go through a similar situation. This was a "Landmark" case in Colorado concerning discrimination on a commercial lease.

This book can be great for Law students, Professors of law, Business owners, Civil Rights Lawyers & of course the general public at large.

About the Author
Tseghe M. Foote, born in Ethiopia and a citizen of the U.S. for thirty years, has been a business owner for more than twenty years. Her business brought cultural enrichment to Colorado by being the first African gallery in the state’s history.

A Brief History
I was born in Sydney, Australia in 1972. I had a wonderful childhood in Sydney’s north shore, attending Barker College, then the University of New South Wales. I pretty much lived inside the Apple //e my awesome parents bought me at the age of 9, and then studied computer science for my Bachelor of Computer Science.

I was drawn to technology as the most creative tool around. Even then I was interested in writing books, recording albums, making film and television.

At the same time I had an amazing executive education through my father and his social circle. He was, to my memory, always a managing director, CEO or manager of CEOs. He eventually ran the Australia arm of what is now Vistage International, arranging for me to begin speaking there at the tender age of 17.

The 80/20 Business: Big Results From Small Changes
Learn how to work LESS and make MORE . . .

Business owners already have too much on their plates. What if you could take 95% of it OFF your "to do" list? Todd Nuckols explains the key principles that will help you to streamline your business, and your life, forever!

Building Smarter Habits, by Thomas Oppong


The Daily Habits of Insanely Productive People That Stick

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.---Aristotle

Habits create routine and most of us run our lives by some sort of routine. Habits define who we are, what we do and what we accomplish in life and career. Being productive is a great thing. Maybe what you set out to accomplish daily, weekly or monthly is crucial to your business or career, or maybe it isn’t, but it has to be done anyway. If you are like me, you want to be able to do your daily tasks faster and better without wasting too much time.

There is no single hack, tool, guide or how-to that can simplify your workday. And just when you learn how to improve your productivity, you will move on to the next level of tasks and to-do lists whose new challenges will defy the ability of any single formula to get what you really need or want done. Creating or building new habits is one of the most fundamental things you can learn, because it allows you to reshape your life and career: that’s truly transformational.

I share these lessons, tips guidance not as a commandment but as things you might try on your journey of change and constant learning. Try them one or two at a time, so you might not be overwhelmed.

In this book, you will be provided:

1. Productivity hacks for becoming instantly more productive everyday
2. Daily schedules that work perfectly for people who need to get stuff done faster, better and smarter
3. Actionable steps to create your new productive habits in a hurry
4. Actionable guide on how to build better and smarter career and life habits
5. Productive routines that can help you stick to new habits.
6. Habits successful people are currently using to be more productive
7. Steps to declutter your life.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. I look forward to your reviews and feedback.

Never Work Again: Work Less, Earn More and Live Your Freedom, by Erlend Bakke



Welcome to a very different kind of business book.

"Never Work Again" shows you how you can build a successful and profitable business without the long hours and high stress that most entrepreneurs suffer from.

Trust me – I’ve been there and it’s not fun. In the months after I started my first business I didn’t know any better. My business was making me ill, but I was too wrapped up in what I was doing to spot the signs let alone to do anything about it. That is until the day I found myself on a London tube train begging a stranger to call me an ambulance and thinking I was going to die. That was my wake-up call. Luckily I got a second chance.

That day I realised that life is short and precious and I made a decision that if I pulled through I was going to do things differently. I decided to restructure my business efforts so that I could live life to the full.

What I decided to create for myself was:

  • A business that I could be proud of
  • The financial freedom to live the life of my dreams
  • The time freedom to do the things I love and to be with the people who matter most to me

And now I want to help you do the same.

After all, deciding to start your own business is something you do because you have a vision of a better life for you and your family. It’s your chance to take control and live life on your terms. And done right it will give you the financial freedom and the time freedom to do the things you love, when you want to do them and with the people who matter most in your life.

Never Work Again will show you how to create a business that gives you the time to work on your own passions in life.

In short, a business that allows you to work less and earn more.

Starting Your Virtual Business:

Never Work Again shows you how you can easily start your own no-money down virtual business – a business that will make you money online and allow you to quickly achieve financial freedom and time freedom.

- All you need to do is choose from a number of simple blueprints and follow the one that’s right for you

- You will learn how to create positive habits that will free up your time and allow your business to grow more quickly than you ever thought possible

- You will be able to work from home or work virtually from anywhere on the planet – what’s your favourite city or beach?!

- And you will learn how to automate and outsource your business, leveraging other people's time for your own benefit so that you can start living the life you really want 

But more than this, Never Work Again explores what it means to live a truly happy and fulfilled life – to really live the life of your dreams. It encourages you to examine your own motivations and desires in order to determine your true purpose and path in life – so you can discover what freedom really means for you.

Remember, your time is precious – in fact, it’s the most precious resource that you have. Don’t waste another second of it doing things that you don’t absolutely love. Learn how to start creating the life of your dreams today.

About the Author
John Lawson is a true "rags-to-riches" fairytale. An enterprising innovator even as far back as high school, John had a knack for starting businesses and making money at whatever he did.

Born in Queens, New York and raised in a lower middle class area of Columbus, Ohio, John and his siblings watched as their single mother struggled to provide a decent way of life for them after his father left when he was a small child.

Determined to make his own success, John started a party promotion business in 1987 and began DJ'ing at local events. By his senior year in high school, he was spending more time marketing his weekend end venture at local area schools and so little time in the classroom that he was kicked out of school.

Undaunted, John got his GED and continued on to the DeVry Institute where he got his first taste of the world of technology. "I was in my twenties but I was struggling with my identity," says John. After a brief stay with his father in Dallas, Texas, John returned to Ohio where he joined a Christian church, formed a Gospel Hip Hop band and even managed to get himself signed to Star Song Records where produced one single that sold very well before opting for a career in the tech world.

After a series of great IT positions where he learned the skills he would later employ in his own business, John took a leap of faith and joined his mother and sister who had both moved to Atlanta, GA. "It was just after the Olympics in Georgia. I got an offer from IBM and then later moved on to Accenture."

In 2001, while enjoying professional success at Fortune 100 consulting firm, Accenture, John was enticed into the world of "flipping" real estate by a friend. "I let him use my credit to buy a house that we were never able to flip." Now saddled with two mortgages, John began selling his IT books, printers and ink on Ebay and soon discovered that selling online was a great way to make the extra cash he needed. Thus 3rd Power Outlet was born.

By 2004, 3rd Power Outlet was providing almost as much income as his salary in the corporate world. It was then that he realized if he spent the same eight hours working on his own business as he was working for others that he could make his fledgling company a success. That September he went full time with his online business and has never looked back. In 2006, 3PO made $1 million dollars in sales and continued to do spectacularly in 2007.

Today, Mixergy calls John Lawson a "power seller." American Express hawks him as their "featured businessman." Startup Nation says he's the "savviest" in Social Media and Small Biz Trends named him "Influencer" of the year. He is an award-winning Social Media Strategist, a spokesperson for several corporations, a commercial television personality and a sought after Keynote Speaker, Trainer/Instructor and conference panelist.

John is also the founder of ColderIce Media, an eCommerce education, training and consultant agency headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and 3rd Power Outlet has executed more than 300,000 online transactions resulting in more than $25 million dollars in sales.

His easy humor, combined with his concrete knowledge and expertise in Social Business and eCommerce, has put him in front of tens of thousands of businessmen and women, around the world. He has traveled to nearly a dozen countries to teach would be millionaires how to achieve their internet business goals. His ability to convey complex concepts in an understandable language has made him 'the toast of the town' on the Social Media speaking circuit.

As editor of the industry leading ColderICE.com blog, John dispenses his down-to-earth wisdom in a matter-of-fact manner that charms and enthralls his audiences. He's not merely a talking head. John has proven that he is the 'real deal' when it comes to knowing how to navigate the intricacies of the internet and in teaching others how to successfully do what he has already done.
