If you're considering working with me on a custom book, let's chat (press reply and I'll send a scheduling link). We can figure out if working with...

Monetize Your Book, Tip 12 Hi, Reader! Our next question is Tip 12: How much do you need to earn? If you need the income stream to completely support you, figure out your monthly nut (everything you need to pay every single expense you have) and multiply it by 1.5. If you're wondering why, I'm glad. The short answer is: you'll be happier and less stressed with more than enough. More than enough allows you to pay your bills, build a reserve, rescue dogs, and invest back in your business. Just...

Monetize Your Book, Tip 11 Hi, Reader! Before you choose an income stream to build, there are key questions you'll want to answer. Note I said before. Why? Because while you might find an income appealing, but if it isn't aligned with your answers, you could regret your choice later. The first question so ask is Tip 11: How soon do you need revenue? If you need a fast path to revenue, you'll want to choose an income stream in alignment with your timeline. Answer that question, and I'll be...

Monetize Your Book, Tip 10 Hi, Reader! Hopefully your answer to Tip 9 is: "I'm assuming I can make money from my book and new income streams." If so, you get an A+. Let's get you an A+ with Tip 10: Money Mindset Part 2. The answer is yes. The question is: Are you wondering how you can?

Monetize Your Book, Tip 9 Hi, Reader! What does money mindset have to do with monetizing your book? In a word, everything. Tip 9: Money Mindset Part 1 is to question your assumptions. Are you assuming you can make money with your book? Or are you assuming you cannot make money with your book? Taken one step further, are you assuming either that you can or cannot make money from a new income stream? (Hint: whatever you're assuming, you're right.) If you're assuming you can't, your assignment...

When you’re ready to think about choosing a new income stream, the first step is to “look.” As in, look at every option that’s available. As I put together my plan for each year, I make a list of all of the possibilities. I also look under the hood—and get clear about the time, money, and energy it will take to put it in place.
