As an entrepreneur, you’re always looking for what it takes to be successful. Learning new skills is one thing,  but translating your current skills from one channel to another is just a matter of changing your mindset.

Watch this NY Times video about Randy Kearse, who served more than 13 years in federal prison, has used the business skills he honed as a drug dealer to sell thousands of his self-published books in the streets and in the subway.

You, too, change, turn your life around. Change your mind, change your results.

I got my first review back of my book, here it is:

“Oh My Goodness! Kevin Cullis has written the most information rich, spell-binding business book I have ever read! Kevin’s business-entrepreneurial advice is sound and meshing the Mac (tool) and starting a business (process) into one concept is brilliant. It’s detailed with informative lists and how to use them but not at the cost of boredom. The example stories are inspirational.  How to Start a Business: Mac Version covers every aspect of running a business A to Z regardless of its type. This one will definitely be in my highly recommended and ‘review many times’ library.”  Chris Lott – VP of Sales DataTel Communications

Coming soon to book seller near you (online, of course)

As a budding author, entrepreneur, and startup business owner I have had the opportunity of learning how to create a Table of Contents in Apple’s iWork Pages. It’s not that difficult at all. Here’s the steps.

  1. Size your document/book. This means that you need to select a size of your document or book to the dimensions that you want. If it’s a school paper, then its 8.5″x11″ and you need to do nothing. If it’s a 6″x9″ Trade sized book you need to go to Inspector > Document > Document tab > Page Setup and then select Custom and create the correct size document.
  2. Insert text and header text. Type in or cut and paste some text and header text into your new document.
  3. Paragraph styles of headers. Using paragraph styles select the type of header text style sheets you need to use them as the focus of your Table of Contents. If the TOC does not show up, here’s the step that needs to done.
  4. Create your Table of Contents. You need to insert a page break at the beginning of your document so that your Table of Contents is at the front. Place the cursor at the front of your document. Next, go to the menu Insert > Table of Contents and it will insert the TOC in your document.
  5. Refine your Table of Contents. Go to Inspector > Document > TOC and begin to decide on what you want to show in your TOC by clicking on the boxes of each paragraph style sheet you want to show up.

There you have it. That was easy.

Now be aware that you TOC will only change when you change the header text in your document AND then click on the TOC and both the pages and header text will change.

In addition, the TOC can be changed fontwise compared with the rest of your document so it can be unique.

An an entrepreneur and startup business I’m finishing up writing my book using Macs in business. One of the things about writing is noticing the “color” of your text on the page. Here’s a tip to see what I mean.

  1. Download the Mac widget Lorem Ipsum and install it on your Mac (or if you don’t like that, visit the Lorem Ipsum web site to get more text for your book).
  2. Click on the “paragraph” length and then copy it to your clipboard.
  3. In Font Book select the “Custom” menu item.
  4. Paste this paragraph into the large text pane.

There you have it. You can now view the “color” of the text as it will look on your page with the font that you have selected.

Do you have a writing tip using a Mac, or even a Windows computer? Let us know.
