THE N EFFECT– Power of Influence
1. What really inspired you to write your
book, to force you from taking an idea or experience and conveying it into a
book?
Several
situations happened at one time to cause me to take a very personal story and
make it public.
1.
History
was being re-written by others and I saw that it was going to be lost.
2.
I
attended a class reunion and was prodded to finish the book and tell the story.
3.
Watching
a movie titled ‘The Founder’ and sharing personal stories with family that
correlated to the same time as the film. I had kept these stories to myself for
a very long time.
4.
I
was the only person left, who could truly tell the story.
5.
And
in the end, I realized I wanted to pass it down to my children in written form.
2. What
is it about and whom do you believe is your targeted reader?
The
N Effect is a multi-genre book.
1.
Historians
or fans of fast food business and its origin should have a definite interest.
2.
It
can be the basis of a business manual with both good and bad situations to
consider.
3.
The
N Effect is an inspiration book which can cause the reader to truly consider
and ponder who influenced their life the
most? It includes a story of perseverance and redemption.
3. What do you hope will be the everlasting
thoughts for readers who finish your book? What should remain with them long
after putting it down?
1.
Others
besides just our Mom, Dad or guardian can truly have a great influence on our
lives.
2.
Success
does not equate to money or wealth. Even though my grandfather never
accumulated much wealth, ego, pride and family dysfunction factored greatly
into bad business decisions made. Everybody wants to be around success, but it
can be fleeting.
3.
Experience
in an industry can lead to success.
4.
History
from the 1900’s can and is being lost, if we do not take the time to document
it.
4. What
advice or words of wisdom do you have for fellow writers?
1.
Like
Nike says, “Just do it.”
2.
Even
if it is not perfect, you have the opportunity to share.
3.
I
hope to build on this learning experience for not only personal financial gain,
but for the sense of accomplishment and desire to persevere.
4.
Don’t
delay—the longer you take to complete the project, the more information can and
will be lost over time.
5.
What trends in the book world do you see and
where do you think the book publishing industry is heading?
I am
not an expert in this area for sure. But currently as an Indie author, I was
able to complete a project and have a book in print and ebook format at an
affordable cost or personal expense.
6. What great challenges
did you have in writing your book?
I
was blessed to have family support, so taking the time to do it was not really
an issue. Also having Google and the Internet as a reference guide, I was able
to get the book edited, formatted and printed. So I guess the biggest challenge was preparing
all the source material. So much information from the 1960’s to the 1980’s was
not readily accessible or easy to obtain. It took a lot of time and effort to
reconstruct, even though I had a treasure trove of personal documentation. My
future challenge will be the marketing, but I am in no hurry to give the book
and its contents away. So to answer the question—having the patience and
persistence to try different avenues to build a community and/or tribe of
followers over time will probably be the final biggest challenge.
7. If people can only
buy one book this month, why should it be yours?
The
N Effect is hard hitting and open. A true story of family and business filled
with turmoil, multiple twists
and personal stories sprinkled throughout. A biography of a lost pioneer of the
fast food industry: Richard “Dick” Naugle. A historical reference that examines
the beginning of FAST drive-thru
restaurants, including Del Taco and Naugles. The book is filled with contrarian
business beliefs along with how personal life can EFFECT business decisions.
Personal stories are interjected for a touch of humor. How has the Power of
INFLUENCE EFFECTED your life?
A turbulent life with its ups and downs is
revealed, ending with a touching story of redemption. See the whole story at www.naugles.com and
participate.. If the reader wants to truly contemplate how someone can
influence their lives, this book is definitely thought provoking.
If the reader has an interest in history or
the foodservice business, this is a good fit.
If they want to understand how ‘Common Sense’
can play a practical role in their life, this is a chance to see it in a very
basic and easy to understand format. The N Effect is a great business reference
tool and it has something for everyone!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR- Starting work at an early
age and from the start exposed to an icon of the fast food industry in Southern
California, Bill Naugle began his life washing dishes, sweeping floors, and
picking up trash in parking lots. Having worked his way through various levels
of management, he migrated from restaurant, to finance, to outside sales of
construction products, including becoming an ADA specialist, to finally a
successful seller of new homes in the Austin, Texas area. Bill Naugle has taken
the time to sit down, share some knowledge, and compile this work from
documentation imparted to him by his grandfather: Dick Naugle. For more
