Secrets to my success + A SPECIAL OFFER
Last week I hosted a small Zoom get-together for a group of my clients that I thought would really appreciate meeting each other. Here are some takeaways:
🤩 Like attracts like. Each one of my clients is like a magical unicorn—a beautiful soul with an extraordinary story and perspective who is creating amazing things to help other people be their best self and live their best life. I had a feeling they’d be inspired by and learn from each other, and they did. My heart was full to bursting by the time we ended our call. Like Ghandi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” BE it until you become it, and then surround yourself with others who are doing the same thing.
😍 It’s scary and vulnerable sharing your life with others, and even to believe in the vision that you have, but when you’re willing to risk and focus out, opportunities expand. The old me would have hoarded my client list like the last piece of toast. But I know I’ve been blessed to have these people in my life and how providential connections can be, and so I was also excited to connect them to see what amazing things they might create together.
🥳 Don’t be afraid to get messy first. It had been a while since I did anything creative with Zoom and breakout rooms, and so the first half hour was a bit of a gong show, to say the least. But—secret between you and me—I kind of like it that way 🤭 By the end of our “breakout room” mixer everyone was relaxed and playful, which paved the way for some truly moving shares and inspired connections.
So, as we celebrate 2023 and look forward to the new year, What are you still dreaming of? And what will you dare to do to make it happen?

PS: One thing they all have in common is an incredible story and unique perspective, they all do meaningful work and they’re on a mission to create good in the world, helping to heal, inspire and empower others.
If that sounds even a little bit like you, or someone you know, we should talk. These are the kinds of stories I want to help bring forward, and the kind of people I love to champion.
Love to Serve
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the beautiful thing about the work that I do is that I can help one person, and they can help hundreds and thousands. Exponential impact. People like Robb Gilbear, who experienced this from writing and publishing his book with me:
“If not a single person read my book, the process was 1,000 percent worth it due to the personal growth I got out of processing the stories we captured. If the only people who read it other than me were my parents, it would be the best gift I could have given myself thanks to how much closer my parents and I have become after reading it. But that's not the case, loads of people from around the world have read it. Publishing the book has allowed me to attract incredible clients that I absolutely love to serve and for them to be ‘ready to go’ and know they want to work with me after reading it. I can directly connect over six-figures worth of coaching revenue to the book.”—Robb Gilbear

In the Editing Room
My son recently landed his first acting job. They filmed him for for 1 1/2 hours and he nailed every single take for what will probably only be five seconds of screen time.
Imagine that times the thousands of instances that make up a two-hour movie.
Nobody makes a two-hour movie thinking they’re going to get it in a single take. (Although there is that one war movie, 1917, where they came pretty close.)
Likewise building your book will take thousands of moments. Many of them will end up on the cutting room floor, but a select, memorable few will make it to the screen.
Think about that next time you sit down to write your book.
