If you want something, give it away!

It's the last day of March, the last day of Q1, and almost April Fool's Day. I hope you've had a magnificent month and a great quarter!

As an aside, do you play April Fools' Day jokes on people? As long as it's good, clean fun, I'm here for it. Give me some ideas!

Okay, now let's talk about what authors want almost as much as they want book sales:

Book reviews.

One key piece of my life-long philosophy is:

If you want (more of) something, give it away.

About the time I was ruminating about not having enough book reviews for my first couple of books, I realized I sure was reading an awful lot of books and not leaving a single book review.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Well, shoot.

How could I, an author, expect someone else to make the time (albeit 3 minutes or less) to leave me a review, if I wasn't doing the same?

As they say, "As you pray, move your feet."

As I say, "As you ask, so shall you do." Review, that is.

This also works with hugs (hey, instant gratification!) and money. (In case you were wondering.)

If you've read a book of mine and haven't left a review, please do. I'd sure appreciate it. Now, go ask your readers to leave reviews for your books (and your clients to leave reviews on LinkedIn).

To your empire-building success,

Honorée Corder
Author. Executive Book Producer.

Reading time: 3 minutes Is It Time for a Fresh Start? I did my first quarter review over the weekend and while it wasn't everything I was dreaming about on New Year's Eve, I'm happy to report I made some great progress on some of my goals. Others, not so much. Tomorrow I'll show you what caused my physical training to go into overdrive (and put me on the couch with an elevated foot for a few weeks). 🙄 Believe me, you'll know it when you see it. Tony Robbins said, "When we're successful, we...
