Here Comes T-Rex!

Do you ever feel like life is rushing up to you like a Tyrannosaurus on a rampage?

I know I feel that way at times. The older I get; the faster times seem to fly.

That’s one reason why I created my Author Diagnostic software. I wanted a way that I could make a real, actionable difference in the lives of my clients without having to take them through months of coaching, hours of videos, or weeks of training. In one 45-minute-to-2-hour session (depending on the diagnostic you choose), I can help you identify exactly what you’re doing right, what needs some tweaking, and whether you’re heading in the right direction to begin with.

Don’t let T-Rex stop you from getting your message out into the world! Book an Author Diagnostic session today! https://authorneering.com/author-diag...

I get by with a little help...

I’ll admit it, I have a very independent nature. And because of that, I’ve often been injured or failed at something because I didn’t ask for help.

Thankfully, I eventually learned how to redefine success from doing all things all by myself to achieving my goals with the help of others when needed.

If you’ve been struggling with your book idea or book-based business, ask for help!

Be Smart About Following Your Heart

Alfred Adler, Austrian medical doctor, psychotherapist, and founder of the school of individual psychology, once said, “Follow your heart but take your brain with you.”

I think that is excellent advice. We all want to follow our hearts and do what we love. And when we can make that work, life is awesome. But if you only follow your heart and don’t bring your brain with you on that journey, you can end up in very unhappy places.

So, if your heart wants to be an author, go ahead, and follow it. But be smart about it. Make sure you’re heading in the right direction so that both your heart and your pocketbook can be happy with the results.
