Summary

Is the idea of self-publishing daunting to you? 
 
According to a New York Times report, 81% of Americans aspire to write a book but few ever write one and even fewer ever publish a book. 
 
The obstacles seem great, but as Martin Luther King said, "You don't have to see the whole staircase - just take the next step." 
 
Whether you're an aspiring writer, have already written a book or are a trade published author looking for a different publishing direction, there is no better time than now to get your words out there through self-publishing. 
This is not a motivational book. 
 
Instead, this book walks you through the steps of self-publishing; from ideas on how to flex your writing muscles to word processing choices to finally seeing your book sold on Amazon. 
Save your money. There is no reason to spend hundreds or even thousands on expensive, unnecessary publishing services. From editing, formatting and cover design to finally self-publishing your e-book on Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing, this book suggests steps and self-publishing tools carefully picked with those on a budget in mind. 
 
Self-publishing is not complicated. In fact, it is a simple process. Simple, however, does not mean easy. Gleaning information from many bestselling self-published authors, and written by a bootstrapped self-published author of over a dozen books (8 which hit Amazon's category bestseller lists), this book will show you how you can write your first word to publishing your final product on Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing without even spending a dime.

    Just becoming your company's CIO is not enough. Once you reach this lofty point, you are going to have to take on the responsibility of growing your career so that it can truly become the challenging opportunity that you've been seeking. The good news is that this can be done. The bad news is that it's never easy. 
    
     
    What You'll Find Inside: 
    
     WHO SHOULD A CIO’S BFF BE:  THE CEO OR THE CFO? 
    THE 5 SECRET CHARACTERISTICS OF A TRULY GREAT CIO
    CIOS IN CRISIS: DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE? 
    CIO’S WITH NO TIME FIND AN ALTERNATIVE TO AN MBA
    
    
     
    As CIO you are going to have to form relationships in order to the approvals for your major projects. Who should you spend your time with: the CEO or the CFO? It may not matter that much because it turns out that we all work in sales in some form or another. As the CIO you are going to have to make sure that you fully understand how your company's sales organization works so that you can support them. 
     
    The role of CIO is changing. It is taking on more and more of an appearance of being a Strategic Execution Officer role and you are going to have to adapt to this. In order to accomplish all of this you may end up having to appear to be two-faced at times. If this doesn't happen, then it may be time for your company to do like a lot of other companies are doing and say goodbye to the CIO position. 
     
    The key to being a successful CIO is making sure that you have a good understanding of just exactly what a CIO does. This means that you have to take a look at what CIOs do and then learn from them. In order to be a successful CIO, you may decide that you need an MBA. There are a lot of different ways to go about getting this degree – which one is the right one for you? 
     
    It is my hope that after having read this book you will be aware of the additional job that you've taken on as CIO – managing your career. Do this correctly and your CIO career will last a long time…!

    Apple orchards in bucolic Washington state. Office parks in Southern California under cover of night. The home of an elderly man in Miami. These are some of the workplaces where female workers have suffered brutal sexual assault and shocking harassment at the hands of their employers, often with little or no official recourse. In this harrowing yet often inspiring tale, investigative journalist Bernice Yeung exposes the epidemic of sexual violence levied against women farmworkers, domestic workers, and janitorial workers and charts their quest for justice in the workplace. 
     Yeung takes listeners on a journey across the country, introducing us to women who came to America to escape grinding poverty only to encounter sexual violence in the United States. In a Day’s Work exposes the underbelly of economies filled with employers who take advantage of immigrant women’s need to earn a basic living. When these women find the courage to speak up, Yeung reveals that they are too often met by apathetic bosses and under&msadhresourced government agencies. 
     But In a Day’s Work also tells a story of resistance, introducing a group of courageous allies who challenge dangerous and discriminatory workplace conditions alongside aggrieved workers—and win. Moving and inspiring, this book will change our understanding of the lives of immigrant women.
