Quanity vs. Quality
As a author you always like to talk about quanity when it comes to selling books; however, I learned an important life lesson at my last book signing in Tulsa. The lesson learned is that quality is much better than quanity. My son Luke had his first football game on Saturday and I could not be there because I was at a book signing. I knew that we wouldn’t sell tons of books that day because there were OU and OSU games and I believe that TU was also playing at home. But as a author you also are very humbled and grateful for any opportunity to sell your gift to the world. I arrived at my signing and I already had made up my mind that it probably would not go as the two earlier ones. We sold out at the previous locations and I had this weird feeling about this one. I was sitting at my table talking to the workers at the counter when I thought I would make my way around the store. I approached a woman by the magazines and started a conversation and then headed back to my table. As they were leaving they came up to me and asked me to tell them about our book. As I started she began to tell me that she was looking for a gift for her friend that had just lost a child and so to make a long story short, our story, our book was signed in memory of this child that was a priceless gift to many and was now an angel in heaven. Wow, I could not have sold any other books that day, that was the reason I was there on that day at that exact time. I pray that book brings great comfort to them and that it was a message that was brought from above that he was a great gift and that all their time and love was well spent!!! God bless that family!!! A lesson well learned–quality is so much bigger than quanity!!!
