Christine Norton is passionate about telling people's stories. And she knew others were, too. But not everyone is comfortable with creating a business from the ground up, and that's where her Forget-Me-Not Life Stories writing partner program comes in.

In exchange for a business license fee, her writing partners get everything they need to get their own memoir-writing service companies up and running. Listen as we discuss this and much more, including:

• the high-end, hand-bound book design, created especially for Forget-Me-Not Life Stories, that allows clients to later add more pages to their books
• the value of celebrating photos and memorabilia in highly designed life story books
• her mentoring and coaching program, offered to clients who need some help as they write their own life story
• how the success of her business licensees equates to her own success
• what her licensees get as an official Forget-Me-Not Life Stories writing partner

Because Christine had so much great stuff to talk about—and I don't want anyone missing any of it—I split our conversation in two. Check back next week to hear part two of the interview.
