And then I made the decision to execute on it.

Martha DanielGuest

1:28

Let's use it that way.

Martha DanielGuest

1:29

So for example, the first book on the other side of midnight was because of the crisis of year 2000.

Martha DanielGuest

1:35

And one of my consultants at work for me said, Martha, we need to write a book because we were actually working in that solving the problems for year 2000.

Martha DanielGuest

1:44

And so she said, we need a vote.

Martha DanielGuest

1:46

So there she goes.

Martha DanielGuest

1:47

She started writing.

Martha DanielGuest

1:48

She said, you got a co-author.

Martha DanielGuest

1:49

So there we were.

Martha DanielGuest

1:50

So I said, OK.

Martha DanielGuest

1:51

So I did.

Martha DanielGuest

1:53

Sorry with me.

Martha DanielGuest

1:54

The second book was where a group of women came together and I was approached to be part of that group that said, Martha, we're going to write a vote on Million Dollar Conversation.

Martha DanielGuest

2:05

And we would like to have you to be a part of that.

Martha DanielGuest

2:08

And so I said, OK, I'll do that.

Martha DanielGuest

2:11

And even in that book, he talks about that.

Martha DanielGuest

2:14

So that's at the beginning of that.

Martha DanielGuest

2:17

And so then the third time, which is my husband has been only for several years to say, well, you need to write a book.

Martha DanielGuest

2:26

And so he and my girlfriend from New York sat on my porch.

Martha DanielGuest

2:28

We were on vacation in St. Lucia.

Martha DanielGuest

2:31

And they came back in and said, Martha, you got to write this book.

Martha DanielGuest

2:34

And there I was.

Martha DanielGuest

2:35

And I found an organization that I called that my girlfriend had recommended to
