Are you celebrating? Part 2

Reading Time: 28 seconds Okay, yesterday we talked about celebrating, specifically the day you became an author for the first time. (If you're headed that direction, make some notes!) Did you add your author anniversary to your calendar as a recurring appointment? I sure hope so. Then you got an announcement that Phil Whitebloom published The Sales Fixer and it's already working it's magic for his business. It's fun to see him so excited about this, his second book! Part 2 of your on-going...

Hello, Reader! I'm always excited to announce a new bespoke book, and this is one I'm particularly pumped about! 🎉 Today's the Day: Phil Whitebloom's Book is LIVE! We're thrilled to celebrate the official launch of The Sales Fixer: A Solution to Close More Business and Build a Top-Performing Team by Phil Whitebloom—and share how we transformed his four decades of sales leadership expertise into a powerful authority-building tool that positions him as "the Sales Fixer," the go-to expert for...

Reading Time: 36 seconds One of my dearest friends is constantly reminding me to celebrate--big wins, little wins, all the wins. It's tempting to just nod, smile, and go "Okay, that's great. Next!" But I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth, if you know what I mean. To myself, I nod and move on. To others, I say, "But you have to celebrate!" It's really great (not being sarcastic, really) to have people in your life who point out these, ahem, discrepancies. I'm here to remind you to...

Reading Time: 39 seconds Wow, what a first week back to work! Well, hello, 2026--you've definitely come in hot! Welcome... Let me be serious for a sec, Reader, because there’s something I see with writers at every stage in their book-writing process: They don’t get stuck because they don’t know how to write. They get stuck because they’re juggling too many decisions at once. While you’re writing, you’re often also thinking: Is this the right direction? Does this chapter belong here? (And if...

Reading Time: 46 seconds I’ve learned a lot from working with hundreds (thousands!) of writers: The question someone asks is rarely the real problem. Someone asks me about a title, but what they’re really asking is, “Will this book reach the right people?” Someone asks about rapid release, but what they’re really asking is, “How do I build momentum without burning out?” Someone asks how to market their book, but what they’re really asking is, “How do I do this in a way that actually fits who...

Reading Time: 33 seconds Over the years, I’ve noticed something, Reader. No matter which course someone is in, there are always a handful of questions that come up again and again. Questions like: “Is this the right title and subtitle for my book?” “What’s the job of my book — and how do I know if it’s doing that job?” “Should I do rapid release… or space my books out?” “How do I actually build an advance reader team that works?” “What should I do next once the book is done?” These are not...

Reading Time: 30 seconds There's a whole lot of "new year, new you" going on right now--and I think the old you is probably just great. I also think you probably want to have a really great year--one where you feel like you left everything you could on the mat and made the most of the year. Yesterday I got to give an impromptu talk to a networking group about this very topic, and I thought I'd share my talking points with you. I'll start by sharing where I focus my time: Publishing 10-20...

Reading Time: 20 seconds It's STMA Day 2, and I realized I had missed an important day. (Note to myself and you: remember to take a beat to celebrate both big and little wins.) Anyhoodle, January 3rd marked my 21st anniversary as a published author. I can't believe I published my first book twenty-one years ago! Which means I' ve been at it more than two decades. Yes, I've been building my empire one day at a time (and yes, 100 days at a time). There were easy days and fun days, lots of those...

Reading Time: 28 seconds Okay--if you're not a morning person and it's morning, you'll want to read this later. Because I am so a morning person! AND, today is day 1 of my first 100 day "sprint" for the year. Needless to say, I am up before my alarm and ready to go! If you're thinking, "Too chipper, Honorée, too chipper," come on back after you've had some coffee. :) No judgment here. (As an aside, I do love a nice, long vacation break but toward the end I start to get antsy and the ideas...
