Announcing I Lost My Job and I Liked It. Six Weeks from Job Loss to Published Book.

London, United Kingdom, May 02, 2009 --(PR.com)-- French-American Londoner Lilou Mace has made the recession work for her, turning the loss of her job into a promising career as a writer-publisher in under two months. At the London Book Fair this week she announced the publication of I Lost My Job and I Liked It, 30-Day Law-of-Attraction Diary of a Dream Job Seeker, and was congratulated by Mayor Boris Johnson for “turning [her] job loss to good economic account”.

Technology

The first copies were printed at the London Book Fair on the Espresso Book Machine 2.0, destined for a Blackwell bookstore, a fitting birthplace for a book by former Internet Marketing Director Lilou whose use of modern communications technology was fundamental to the creation of I Lost My Job and I Liked It. She recorded her thoughts on her iPhone and Flip video camera, and used the Internet (and the Law of Attraction, popularised by Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret) to source a transcription typist in the Philippines, an editor and a typographer in Edinburgh, and a photographer and a cover designer in London.

Job loss an opportunity

Lilou comments:

“When I was fired from my job with a London-based company, a job I had left Chicago for only a few months previously, I realised that the moment had come to put everything I had learnt to the test. I felt it was meant to be, and I want others in similar situations to feel the same way.

“I had used the Law of Attraction to meet Oprah Winfrey, and she had inspired me to launch my ‘Live a Juicy Life’ television show in Chicago. I had co-founded the international ‘Co-Creating Our Reality’ Internet community. I had built up a following of thousands on YouTube. Until I was fired I had not, however, had the courage to risk everything and put my belief in the Law of Attraction and all my skills and knowledge (visualisation, meditation, reiki, healthy eating…) to the test. It was time to follow my heart 100% and demonstrate to myself and others that these things work!”

Urgency

“The economic crisis has seen millions of people lose their jobs, and millions more cling in fear to jobs they do not like. The book is, to some extent, about its own genesis, but, most importantly, it demonstrates, in an accessible and original way, how all of us can lead more fulfilling lives and find our dream jobs, jobs that allow us to express our uniqueness. It also shows people how to find supplementary income streams while they are working towards such dream jobs.

“I was guided to self-publish in order to help people as soon as possible, and the contacts and technology to enable me to do this appeared as if by magic, and I am confident the publicity will work that way too, because that is the Law of Attraction!”

First step-by-step Law-of-Attraction journal, includes doubts and fears

To the best of Lilou’s knowledge this is the first time anyone has illustrated the workings of the Law of Attraction by publishing such a day-by-day, step-by-step journal:

“I think the book is strengthened by the fact that I am honest about my doubts and fears. People will see that I am not a superwoman. I am an ordinary woman, but lucky in many ways. I am grateful to have experienced hard times and setbacks as well as good times and successes, because, as people will see, many of the best lessons come from the bad times.

“My mission is to empower millions of people to lead happy and fulfilled lives. I hope I Lost My Job and I Liked It will contribute to this. I have ideas for several other books and have already started the next one!”
