About Susan Carter  

Going "behind the scenes" ...

... personalizes an experience. After all, I want a relationship with a person, not a Web site. That is especially true if I am being asked to consider the merits of a recommendation. So, on the assumption that many of you have that same need for familiarity, this page is about me ... for you.

Artist, Writer, Transcriptionist, Marketer, Account Manager, Administrative Assistant, Operations Consultant, Editor, Author, Infopreneur, Publisher ...

... At one time or another as I traveled through life, I've been all of these and more. A diverse and eclectic work history seems to be quite common -- if not a prerequisite -- for a successful, working writer. While I'll spare you the chronology of my experience, I want to emphasize that the exposure to every twist and turn along this jagged job trail has honed my writing skills and enriched my innate, yet sometimes elusive, talent.

I became a "real" writer by writing and actually being paid for that writing. But I became a better writer by inviting the ever-expanding spectrum of industries, markets, and mentors to influence me. I welcome the continual challenge to absorb information and discover new perspectives that a singularly-focused experience would otherwise have hindered. Some writers are served well by the narrowness of their reach. For me, success came by being willing to explore possibilities and see where they take me.

Today ...

... the majority of my time is spent helping others to further stretch their own potential. I continue to consult on business operations and marketing through products I develop and recommendations I make on one of my other sites, SuccessIdeas.com. But my growing passion and pursuit is to help writers travel their own paths to success. The writers I know who make a living -- a good and often GREAT living -- are willing to invest in their potential. They invest in products, in software, and in business opportunities that will advance their careers and give them the "writer's life" dream that they've been struggling to transform into reality for a long time.

My wish ...

... I live my dream, and I want you to live yours, too. The recommendations I make in the pages of this site have truly helped me reach -- and exceed -- my goals. I want you to have the same experience. It would be foolish to say I could guarantee that you'll have the same results that I've had; too many factors enter into that equation. But I can guarantee that if you do nothing to expand your abilities and potential, then you get what you've put into it ... nothing more than what you have right now.

Regrets? Only one: that I didn't start investing in myself sooner. 

	To your success ... Susan Carter
