How to Master Focus and Achieve Success Faster

Uncategorized Feb 26, 2025

 One of the most critical success factors for entrepreneurs, authors, and coaches is focus. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by juggling multiple tasks, chasing shiny objects, or struggling to progress in your business or personal goals, this post is for you.

Why Focus Matters

I share my journey of transitioning from being scattered and exhausted to building a seven-figure business by mastering focus. The key takeaway? Success comes when you lock in on one thing at a time.

In my experience, focus means committing to a task until you see results—whether that's completing a book, launching a coaching program, or hitting personal milestones.

"If you focus on one task, you'll complete it in half the time with 90% accuracy, compared to multitasking." — Jasmine Womack

Uncategorized Feb 23, 2025

As we step into a new year, it's the perfect time to reflect on the past and strategically plan for the future. But planning for success isn’t just about setting business goals—it's about taking a holistic approach that touches every aspect of your life. From your career and finances to your health, relationships, and spiritual growth, true success comes from creating balance in all of these areas. In this post, I’ll share how to create a comprehensive, realistic, and actionable plan that sets you up for a year filled with growth, impact, and fulfillment. Whether you’re aiming for professional achievements, personal growth, or stronger relationships, a holistic approach is key to sustainable success.

 

Taking Inventory

How to Turn One Book Into a Seven-Figure Business

Uncategorized Feb 19, 2025

 As we dive into 2025, it's time to challenge everything we think we know about self-publishing. After a decade in the industry and helping over 1,000 authors bring their visions to life, I've discovered that true self-publishing goes far beyond simply producing a book—it's about publishing a new version of yourself.

When most people think about self-publishing, they focus solely on the end product: a physical book they can hold in their hands. But here's the truth I've learned from turning one book into a seven-figure business: the real power of self-publishing lies in who you become through the process.

The Evolution of an Author

Think about the last time you accomplished a major goal. By the time you reached that finish line, you were a different person than when you started. That's exactly what happens in the self-publishing journey. You can never go back to the version of yourself that existed before you started—and that's the point.

In the Published and Paid® Mastermind, we h...

What 2024 Taught Me and 5 Changes I’m Making in 2025

Uncategorized Jan 02, 2025

2024 was a year of growth, reflection, and hard lessons. It wasn’t perfect, but it brought clarity to what I want for my life and work. As I step into 2025, I’m committed to making meaningful changes to show up better for myself, my family, and the people I serve.

One of the biggest milestones in 2024 was turning 40. That birthday wasn’t just a celebration—it was a moment of realization. I became more aware of my mortality and the importance of making the most of the time I have with my loved ones. I thought about what I’d want my family and friends to remember about me and how I want to live the rest of my life.

This year also came with challenges. My family moved into a new home, which was a blessing but also a stressful process. My children started new schools, which brought its own set of adjustments. On top of that, I had to restructure my team to align with the direction I want my business to go. These transitions were tough, but they taught me the value of resilience and the i...

The Power of Vision, Faith, and Intention

Have you ever experienced a divine download?
 
You know, one of those moments when you get an idea out of the blue that seems to come out of nowhere?
 
Well, I have!
 
And I can remember the day.
 
I was walking around my (former) 7th grade classroom with my clipboard, observing students and going from group to group to see if my students had any questions or needed any support.
 
An idea, a download, came to me out of the blue and I jotted it down in the folder I was holding.
 
I kept it in my binder, and forgot about it.
 
Being the record-keeper that I am, I have a habit of keeping all of my notes either in composition books or 3-ring binders (which is why I purchased a Remarkable, but I digress).
I was going through some of my old notebooks recently and I found this.
 
 
It was a note I wrote back in 2018 while busy at work.
This idea was for a Writer's Retreat.
 
A selected group of 10 women.
 
And to shoot a video to advertise the eve

How To Batch Create Content For Social Media Posts

Do you struggle with posting on your Social Media outlets? Don’t be too shy to admit it. Many of us are overwhelmed by the thought of having to share our lives or what we do with complete strangers on the internet. At one point in my life, I even felt intimidated by Social Media, but I did not allow it to stop me from moving forward. I moved forward and did it scared. And it used to take me a long time. 

 

However, I have learned how to maximize my time to be able to create weeks of content in just one setting. Curious to know how I did that? Keep reading and you’ll find out my strategy.

 

Whether you choose Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or all of the above, you can create content that will translate across all platforms. 

 

Step 1:  Map Out Your Content 

I literally studied my own posts to see which content received the most engagement. That let me know what my audience wanted to see. From there I created content buckets that included topics of interest based ...

If I Were Still Working My 9 to 5 While Growing My Business, Here’s What I Would Do

Not many people can say that they are a full-time entrepreneur without ever having worked a 9 to 5. Although I am a full-time entrepreneur today, that has not always been the case. I was a teacher for 12 years and built my business to six figures while working. Knowing what I know now, I will share with you what I would have done differently.

 

Shift #1: Invest In Help

I experienced burnout because I was doing everything in my business, preparing the kids for school, dropping them to 3 different schools, going to work, coming home and cooking, then working on my business at night into the early morning hours and doing it all over again. I did not think I could afford help, but the truth is that I wanted to keep my profits for myself. I did, and it came at a cost. I should have expanded my business team (by hiring an assistant and more team members) and home team (by outsourcing laundry and housekeeping) much earlier than I did.

 

Shift #2:  Invest In High End Programs Sooner

Four Time Management Strategies to Maximize Your Day

As a coach, you are often pulled in several different directions that need your attention. Family life comes with day to day responsibilities and surprises- some, you can’t control. Add running a business to that, and you’re required to to take care of administrative needs, branding needs, content creation as well as working with clients. If you lack time management skills, the lack of prioritization will add unnecessary stress to your life.

 

Here are 4 strategies I use to manage my time, avoid burnout, and be front and center when it’s time for me to show up for my family:

 

Step 1:  Designate 

I designate certain days of the week for administrative work only, content creation only (2 days), working with clients only, following up with leads and completing tasks rolled over from earlier in the week.

 

Step 2: Delegate 

Ask for help and hire help. Whatever your budget can afford, outsource tasks that can free up your time to relax or complete things that YOU are needed for. Fo...

5 Killer Mistakes That Keep Authors From Having a 5 Figure Book Launch

5figurelaunch author books Jun 07, 2022

Ok, so you’ve written your book, now what? You didn’t just write your book to say you did it, so let’s learn how to get your message to your audience. Most of us expect a level of success with our book by making the Best Seller’s List and even having the ability to no longer work our 9 to 5 to primarily help others. I will share with you 5 of the most common mistakes made by new Authors.

 

Mistake #1: Not Planning Your Launch For Your Book

If you want sales and success you will need to market your book while you are still in the writing process. Pre-Launch, Launch and Post Launch are the 3 phases of launching a book. A buzz needs to be created and inform your audience that your book is being released soon. Social media should be used in your launch strategy by determining what day your pre-sales will go LIVE. You should be in touch with influencers and others in your industry where your readers are located.

How Changing Your Book Writing Approach From Sharing Your Story to Solving a Client's Problem Changes Everything

Many coaches make the mistake of assuming that if they are writing a book, then it has to be deeply profound, emotional, and include intimate details of their personal story. The fact of the matter is, this couldn't be furthest from the truth.

As an emerging powerhouse coach, your first and foremost priority should be increasing your visibility, establishing yourself as a credible and verified authority in your industry, generating leads, and turning those leads into sales.

And there's no better way to do this than by writing a book where you share frameworks, background knowledge, and coaching strategies with your readers.

Here are 3 ways that changing your book writing approach will transform your coaching future:

  1. Write your book to create authority positioning. When you write a book to "share your story", then you become like 80% of authors who take time to write books about themselves. These type of books typically do not sell, don't help anyone, and will not help you grow yo
