Here are the acknowledgements which we always love reading.
------------------------------------------------------
When I examined the process of writing this
eBook, I was quite surprised by the speed by which pages came together.
I was once told about a gentleman by the
name of Malcolm Gladwell. In
his book “Outliers”, he describes “The
Ten Thousand Hour Rule”, which describes that providing you have the
fundamental basics right, you can reach greatness in any given field, by
practicing tasks relevant to that chosen field for a total of ten thousand
hours.
That law kept me going when times were
tough! Let me say that I have not spent ten thousand hours on writing, but it’s
the time that I have spent around talent, conferences, events, Theatre, Arts,
as a Bureau Owner, Bureau Employee, Manager, Producer, Writer, Director,
Theatre Owner and Event Coordinator.
The gentleman who shared this most valuable
lesson with me was Lawrie Montague, a Keynote Speaker whom I worked with for a
number of years.
In fact, had I missed the rare opportunity
of spending time with someone like Lawrie, I would not be writing this book or
running a Speaker Bureau called The Entertainers!
I thank you Lawrie more than you will ever
know! I value our friendship greatly.
My wonderful wife and business partner
Michelle Burgan, whose work ethic is a site to behold, I love you and thank you
for your patience, intelligence and practical approach to challenges, which
seem to me sometimes impossible. You are a star Michelle, our greatest asset
and a wonderfully rounded and generous soul.
Fiona Wrigley, thank you for making
straight my crooked writing. I have learnt that without an editor who
understands the subject matter, what the writer is trying to say and what the
reader needs to hear, the opportunity is lost. I look forward to working with
you again on the next book.
To the Speakers who gave me feedback
throughout the writing, Keith Abraham (CSP), Justin Baird, Tansel Ali, Sam
McCool, thanks guys your feedback was invaluable.
Lastly, I want to thank my Father Terry
Burgan (Snr) for being such a brilliant father and sympathetic ear. Eternally
grateful to you for giving me the skills and personality that I am fortunate to
have.
