The pilot just said WHAT? ✈️

Can you imagine being on a plane, buckled into seat 14B, ready for takeoff, when the captain's voice crackles over the intercom:

"Hey y'all, I'd really love to fly this plane today, but... I just can't even. Pilot's block, you know?"

Would you calmly say, "No worries, Captain! Take a nap. We'll wait!"?

HECK TO THE NO.

Yet some kind of way, it has been accepted that "writer's block" is a real thing and a legitimate excuse to not write. But we'd never accept pilot's block, dog walker's block, or mail carrier's block.

It makes me giggle to think about me getting a pass by using dishwasher's block, dog-feeding block (they'd lose their minds, Rogue and Shadow), or answering emails block.

Now, if you think this doesn't apply to you, you might be pleasantly surprised to learn that any block can be addressed with the strategies I'm sharing this week and in my book.

I know for a fact, after writing almost 70 books (and crafting more than 500 for clients) that writer's block doesn't exist. Before you press reply, or unsubscribe, settle down and stick with me. You might not be able write at times, but this isn't your granddaddy's writer's block--it just doesn't exist in the way we've thought it does.

What we call "writer's block" is usually one of three things:

A belief block (you don't think you can)
A behavior block (you haven't built the habit)
A time block (you haven't made space)

And all of these are totally fixable. With the right tools, mindset, and structure, you can be writing as easily as you breathe!

That's why I wrote There Is No Such Thing as Writer's Block—to help you turn the faucet on and let those words FLOW.

P.S. Tomorrow I’m pulling back the curtain on something that’s been quietly shaping everything I do... I can't wait to share it with you, stay tuned.

Reading time: < 30 seconds Mr. $300K Course Launcher was bullish on me being able to monetize my knowledge about monetizing a book. I know courses are now pretty ubiquitous and a lot people who can't make money doing something are creating courses about said thing. 🙄 That isn't me: I wanted a great course students would be super-pumped to take again and again as they developed new income streams. He wanted to prove his point, though, so he introduced me to the world of monetizing before...

The outline that became a course (in one sitting)

Reading time: < 30 seconds To continue from yesterday, the first order of business when creating Building a Million Dollar Book Business was to write down all of my income streams. companion guide courses consulting speaking training certifications etc... Then create a syllabus of what I would use to teach someone how to replicate what I had done. Taking pen to paper, I made an extensive outline of talking points, lessons learned, take-aways, and to-dos (oh yeah, and the not to-dos!). In less...

I did it kicking and screaming (well, not screaming but definitely kicking)

Reading time: < 30 seconds As I mentioned yesterday, my new Nashville buddy insisted I build a course, because "Everybody talks about how to publish a book. Nobody talks about how to monetize it! A course on monetizing a book would be huge." I didn't care how much I could make, the process felt too complex and overwhelming. Remember: a confused mind says, "Nope." Which is what I did. He kept insisting, and offered to do the heavy lifting (so I could just be "the talent.") 🤣 So, over the next...
