Why You Need to Take Care of the People Who Take Care of You
Customers, Bosses, Boards, and Investors Matter—But They Can’t Come First
Some leaders believe that customers are their most important priority. Others believe their boss, their board, or their investors are their most important priority.
I’ve worked in companies where these philosophies were the cultural norm. But I don’t agree with them. I believe your teammates are your most important priority. If you take care of them, they will take care of everything else.

Wanted: Money Wiz with Big Vision for the Future
I’m Looking for a Chief Financial Officer. Are You It?
When I left the corporate suite at Thomas Nelson a few years back I wanted to settle into the life of a solopreneur—writing, speaking, and coaching. Instead I built a lean, rapidly expanding multimillion dollar company.
What I found early on was that as my message resonated, my need for a team grew. There was only one of me, but there were also too many opportunities I couldn’t pass up. Soon a new strategy emerged, I set new goals, and formed a new company.
Now I lead an ambitious team of sixteen people. We’re creating products, launching courses, and business is exceptionally good. We’ve actually doubled our sales every year since I started the company. And that means I need to add another team member—a chief financial officer.

What You Need to Negotiate a Fantastic Book Deal
My New eBook Details 6 Factors to Consider When Your Book Goes from Dream to Deal
Let’s say you’ve always wanted to write a book. What would you do if a publisher made you an offer today? What if a deal was waiting in your inbox right now?
The truth is you’ll probably have an agent who can help walk you through all the fine points. But with or without an agent, every author should know the broad strokes of a book deal—what’s usually negotiable, what’s not, what to avoid, and what to celebrate.
There are a lot of details to know: rights, subrights, obligations, determinations, and so on. To help demystify the process, I’ve written a quick-and-easy ebook that breaks it all down to just six key factors.
Will you be ready when your book goes from dream to deal? Register for my Get Published Training Course before tonight at 11:59 p.m. Pacific and get instant access to my new ebook, 6 Factors That Make a Fantastic Book Deal: Key Considerations for Negotiating Your Contract with Confidence.

The hardest thing about writing a book is writing a book. I bet you know what I’m talking about. A 500-word blog post is one thing, but a 50,000-word manuscript?

Think You Can’t Get Published? Here’s Why You’re Wrong
My Get Published Training Course Will Show You How to Work the System and Launch Big
If you’ve always dreamed of writing a book, I have good news. You’re living at the very best moment in history to have the impact your message deserves. But you have your doubts, right?
Maybe you’ve heard the statistics on how many books get automatically rejected by agents and publishers. Maybe you’ve already been rejected.
You know you have an important message to share, but let’s face it: We pour so much of ourselves into a book that rejection is beyond demoralizing. Besides, publishing is so complex, it feels like its rigged against first-time authors. It’s not, if you know how the system works—and how you can work it.
To find out what you can do to get published, sign up for my Get Published Training Course. Registration is now open. But move fast. The offer ends next week.

Season 4, Episode 12: What if the Barriers Were Only in Your Head? [Podcast]
Defeating Limiting Beliefs in the 3 Major Areas of Life
Welcome to Season 4, Episode 12 of the This Is Your Life podcast. Stu McLaren is filling in for my regular cohost Michele Cushatt. In this episode, we discuss how to defeat the beliefs that are holding you back.
Most of the things that hold us back are not external. They’re inside our heads and hearts, the limiting beliefs that keep us from making meaningful progress toward our goals—or even setting those goals to begin with.
