WELCOME AND NOTES SECTION

---

Being an artist in any form is not for the faint of heart. It can be utterly soul-crushing to birth the book of your heart, launch it into the world with enthusiasm, and then watch your dream slowly fizzle out. Or maybe a life event (not to mention a global pandemic!) derailed your once brilliant author career, and now you feel like you are starting again from scratch. Or, who knows, maybe you are an overachiever and want to debut with the confidence of someone who has been in the business for over a decade.

Whatever brought you here, welcome! I can't guarantee that your book will suddenly sell a million copies or that you will never struggle as an artist again. What I can promise, though, is that if you complete this entire course—including the one-on-one consultation with me at the very end—you will KNOW deep in your bones that you are on the right journey. You don't need to spend a truckload of money on an expensive marketing team. Fortune will be on your side. All those opportunities and events that suddenly start falling into your lap...YOU planted those seeds in the richest fields.

It's time to make your dream a reality. I may not have long gray hair, a staff, and billowing robes, but I'm here to guide you on your journey. Let's begin!

There are three main modules in the EMBARK ON YOUR AUTHORPRENEURIAL JOURNEY online course. Each one contains three lessons and an assessment. The first module is FREE. Take it for a test-drive. See if we are a good fit. Want more mini-courses? Stay tuned! More are on the way soon. Want to work together and fine-tune your authorpreneurial journey? Reach out and schedule a 1-on-1 coaching session HERE. 

You are welcome to print out each module's worksheet or take notes in your preferred method. Even after you finish a module, you can go back and reread lessons. There is no time limit on completing the course. Don't rush. Take your time and do a deep dive. Being an authorpreneur is a marathon, not a sprint!

Throughout the course, you will see some specific icons.

ACTION ITEM:   

Nothing is going to change in your author life without some action. Don't know how to answer a specific question? That's okay. Move on and leave it blank for now. 

PRO TIP:  

Are you a seasoned author who understands the general concept but needs to up their game? The optional Pro Tips are for you! You are welcome to take my idea and run with it or put your own spin on it. You can even use it as a jumping-off point and head in the opposite direction. 

QUESTION:  

Take your time and do a deep dive into the questions. "Success" is highly subjective. If you can show me what success looks like for you, then we can customize a plan to help you get there. 

WARNING:  

New levels. New devils. Whether you are coming out the gate as an indie author or are pivoting your career and handling some of your own sales, anything money-related will require caution and extra attention. Depending on your plan, you may need to call in some additional experts.
