The Book Nobody Wanted to Publish (And What Happened Next)

In 2005, I had just finished writing The Jackrabbit Factor, and felt like I had something special. My writing was amateur at best, and I knew it. But there was something about the message itself that moved even me to tears every time I read it. To my point, one Amazon reviewer said, "I did take away a star because the writing was a bit ....lacking? [but] I found whatever was lacking in writing was very forgivable because of the wonderful content. This is a book I recommend to others, would give as a gift, encourage all my children to read so we can discuss. Fabulous book!"

So, my skill was admittedly underdeveloped. But now I was hoping to get some celebrity endorsements for it. I still remember where I was when the first praise arrived in my inbox... I sat and cried like a baby reading this one: "I have seldom read a more impactful book where true principles are taught in such a clear and simple analogy. I have spent many years teaching people how to gain control of their time and ultimately their lives. The principles so uniquely taught in 'The Jackrabbit Factor' take everything I have done a step further. How so you say? You will have to read it to find out. This is a book that must be experienced and not described. The person who can comprehend and internalize the laws of thought as they are beautifully analogized in these pages, will realize any dream, effect any change, achieve any goal they desire. A must read." ~ Hyrum Smith, Co-founder Franklin Covey, CEO Galileo.”

Everything he had done... a step further?? I was humbled. I give credit to Hyrum for getting the ball rolling. After his generous response, it became easier to enlist other well-known personalities in the industry, like Bob Proctor, who added: "I am genuinely impressed. Leslie has created a jewel in ‘The Jackrabbit Factor.’ It has been crafted such that a person can read and re-read it, and each time glean something new and empowering. In a unique and creative way, Leslie’s story will lead her readers through successively increased levels of awareness and leave them not only with an uncommon confidence, but more importantly, with the ability to make any life change they desire. Success-seekers of all degrees of knowledge and experience will benefit from this remarkable story. I strongly recommend you purchase multiple copies of this book for your family and friends.” ~ Bob Proctor, Proctor Gallagher Institute.

Stephen R. Covey also gave me one, but I'm not allowed to share his words, except in/on the book itself.

But as much as I appreciated what these respected mentors had to say, what matters more to me is what every-day people had to say about their experience with it. Like: "I am sitting here in tears… I have always believed that positive thought and faith have helped me to stay strong and persevere but [now] I realize that maybe it is time that I can do more than just get by."

Or this: "Your book has changed my life. It is a significant paradigm shift for me. I am excited about sharing these principles with others... I know this information has blessed many lives, and I'm sure your life has been equally blessed for what you have done."

Or this: "I was a bit skeptical with the subject of the email that said: ‘You will never be the same after this…’ that is why I opened it. [I thought], Yeah right, we will see. But that sender was right, I am not the same person anymore. My faith has greatly increased and I have greater hope… I actually could not stop reading your book until I finished it. ... This has been an answer to my prayer."

So. I hope you'll join me when we read it together, a chapter at a time, right here on my profile, starting November 1st. You can learn more about the Read-a-Thon and Rabbit Hunt here: https://go.schooloflifemastery.com/rabbit-hunt

Fun Fact: Wanna know why I'm even allowed to share my book on Facebook in chunks, and why this may be the first virtual read-a-thon of its kind?

Because copyright laws would normally prohibit it. But... in my case, every single publisher I submitted it to rejected me! (Probably because of those poor writing skills.) So, I had no other choice but to publish it myself, and that turned out to be one of the best things that could have happened. As the sole copyright owner, I can now do whatever the heck I want with it! 😁

That's why I was able to begin offering it as a free download over ten years ago, getting it into the hands of over 50,000 readers without a marketing budget, and why I can do this upcoming virtual read-a-thon now.

So, although nobody else is allowed to publicly release the contents of the book like I can, EVERYONE is welcome to share my upcoming read-a-thon posts with anyone who could use a faith-lift. Let's get this message of hope out there, and change some lives together! 📖🐰❤️💥
