In this FREE training, we will cover:

• Why a book is the ultimate tool to grow your platform and influence.

This webinar is a must if you’re interested in leveraging your podcast and guests to promote your book, or if you want to use your book to promote and grow your podcast.

Even if you don’t yet have a podcast, and you haven’t yet written a book, join us to discover how these two powerful tools can work together to build your impact, influence, and income!

I hope you’ll join us on Thursday, Nov. 16 at 4:00pm EST for Podcast to Published!

Are you a glass-half-empty or a glass-half-full kind of person?

If your answer is that you’re a glass-half-empty kind of person, it means you tend to focus on what you lack. If your answer is that you’re a glass-half-full kind of person, it means you tend to focus on what you have.

So, the question is not about what’s inside the glass. The question is, what’s inside of you? It really comes down to how you see the world. It also affects how you perceive your writing and your potential for success.

As a writer, you can look at the world in one of two ways.

The first way is to focus on what you lack. Maybe you lack a big audience, a book contract, the time you would like to use for writing, a certain amount of income, the connections you think you need, and so on.

You spend a lot of emotional energy worrying and complaining about what everybody else seems to have, but you seem to lack. So, you don’t make much progress because you have a negative mindset.

The second way is completely the opposite. The second way is all about focusing on what you do have. And make no mistake, in the history of the world, writers have never had it better. Most of us have no concept of how good we have it as writers.

Let’s take a moment to take stock of what you have as a writer:

1. You have the ability to use a free blog, free social media, or free video platforms to reach literally anyone in the world.
2. You have the world’s most advanced, sophisticated communications and productivity device right there in your pocket (of course, I’m talking about a smartphone).
3. You have the ability to connect with almost anyone in the world through the internet.
4. You have access to more books and knowledge than the world has ever known, and the vast majority of it is free or very inexpensive.
5. You have more options for publishing than any writer has ever known.

Those are just a few things you have as a writer. The list could go on much longer.

The Stoic philosopher Epictetus said, “He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.” So today, take stock of all the blessings you have. Because the glass is not half-empty… it’s completely full.
