CAREER
For more than a decade, Case Lane worked in Hollywood on the transition from physical to digital media and she saw firsthand the impact of implementing new technology on a workforce. These tech changes are not going to go away, but if you have business ideas in your head and want to be an entrepreneur, you can be ahead of the impact.
You can leverage globalization and technology to your advantage, and use both to create your own business and your own independent life. That is the business of Ready Entrepreneur – to help you make the changes you want, using the tools that are right in front of you.
Prior to founding Ready Entrepreneur, she studied communications, political science, business, law, and economics. Her formal work experience has been as a reporter, diplomat, digital media corporate executive, and lawyer. She has lived, studied, and worked in ten different countries, and her travel list is rapidly heading towards 100 country visits.
Using one of her pen names, she created Case Lane World, to incorporate her ideas around helping you tap the power you have to be independent and self-sufficient in a changing technological and global world. She defined complications in her non-fiction work, illustrated through her fiction, and present solutions through her business development and entrepreneurial training. For my fiction, you can find my Laker Taylor series of political thrillers, the Life Online series of future tech thrillers, and the Ravencross series of romance thrillers, as well as self-help and spiritual books at all of your favorite ebookstore websites.
