Warning: I get fed up with the f-word in this episode and get pretty weepy. No, not that f-word. The word FRICTION.

Tune in to hear the story I tell about it and why my word for this next season of my life is frictionless. I believe that...

After a little hiatus of being a podcast host and focusing more on being an editor, saleswoman, CEO, and most importantly a mom, I'm back and ready to start sharing again. Ready to start giving you as much value as I possibly can each and every week. So, in this episode, I wanted to share a memo I found that I recorded back in May of 2020.

When you know you have at least two books inside you, which book should you write (and publish) first? The main thing that you need to remember is that a published book is for your audience--not for you. Otherwise, you could just write it and keep it as a diary or journal. You need to ask, "What's in it for them?" Write the book for your audience first. Give your audience the goods, teach them the lessons, get them what they need and then you can write another book letting your...

If you missed the first conversation that Elizabeth and I had, stop right here and head back to episode 46. It was so inspiring and fun that we will now be having a monthly series! In this episode, Elizabeth Adams talks about moving from a successful side-hustle to a full-time career as an author of romantic comedy for both historic and modern settings.

Tired of hearing her complain about how terrible self-published books were, Elizabeth Adams' husband challenged her to write a better one. She knew absolutely nothing about self-publishing, so--even though she was a full-time student raising three small children--she figured it out. She hoped to sell five books, but within the first two months, she made $10,000 on a five-dollar ebook in a very niche market: Jane Austen Fan Fiction. No one was more shocked than she was.

We've been through a really rough period and it's gonna take time to transition. Last year, the pandemic was about re-invention. If we didn't drug ourselves out, you know, with...

I guess when you are six years old, people do not think that they need to tell you that a penpal letter is not meant to be edited and sent back with corrections. Jennifer didn't stay my penpal for very long, but it is sure exciting to think about when I really first got into editing. Fast forward a few years and dozens of books later, and I am finally doing it full-time and loving every second of it.

I paid a lot of money to learn from the great Jack Canfield, and when you listen in you will hear all about why the co-author of my upcoming book wasn't going to write it with me unless my name went first on the cover. Jack set us straight. I also was able to get such an incredible affirmation that I am doing things the right way with my editing business and giving my own author clients the directions that they need to continuously show up on the best-selling charts. Oh, and did I mention...

A mom with two small children who had built an 8-figure sales team with a direct sales company, she now runs a successful business teaching her...

Experts, authors, influencers ... they're all afraid of the same thing: What if I give away too much?
