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.
