I sold my first book in a 13-way bidding war among all the top publishers in the U.S. With no followers! And right at the top of the pandemic! For a crapload of money! Only in hindsight was I able to breathe and consider what exactly I DID that might be repeatable or teachable. What magic I conjured. Some of it was luck, right place right time right idea, but some of it was definitely me. And I’m working that naming-and-claiming muscle: I did a lot right. And it IS teachable. By “right” I mean the small choices I made at consequential moments to invite myself in, to give myself permission to show up as weird and specific and flawed and excited as I actually am, rather than listen to the voices I’m quite convinced we ALL have in our heads that say some version of “Surely they can’t handle/don’t want the real me.” It’s the echoes of millennia of misfits pushed to the margins, muzzled, made to feel wrong for existing—but quite inconveniently the echoes don’t come with that warning sign. “These messages don’t belong to you; they’re just f*cking with you; love yourself louder than them.” I talk a lot about the voice part of permission work—stepping onto that stage, or turning on that ring light, and talking like a person even when the stakes are impossibly high. It’s kinda what my whole book is about. But I think the rightest thing I did over the whole year-long book-selling sojourn was invite myself to the page in a 75-page proposal that I remember Dan Blank responded to with “are you kidding me??” Apparently it was quite confident. For the writers among us: inviting ourselves to the page is a little duh. It’s, one might say, the whole entire job. But a proposal is different—it resembles both the writing itself AND self-promotional copy ABOUT the writing. “In this book I will…” was the loop going through my head all year. How do you invite yourself into THAT without getting self-conscious and falling for the echoes? How do you make THAT writing come alive and feel personal and undeniable and 13-way bidding warrish? I’ll tell you what did it for me. Because I think this one tiny decision I made one tiny afternoon in August of 2019 changed everything thereafter. ...This is the beginning of my first Substack post.

A BIG thank you to Nicola Blackmore for introducing me to Motivational Maps. (It will come as no surprise to anyone who knows me that my primary motivator is Creativity!) 😁 This is a really interesting tool that helps discussions about the WHY... and it also works great alongside other profiling resources like Insights Discovery too. Anything that helps us understand each other better is a great thing in my books! #curiouslighthouse #amblerock #motivationalmaps

I posted 66 posts before my first post went viral in 2021. I texted 100 Ed-Tech Founders for my ghostwriting services in 2021, and 2 replied, 1 became my first-ever Ghostwriting client. I do my outreach to 1000+ potential clients every month, only 5-7 are closed every month. We all know what we need to do every day. Don’t we? You all know exactly what you need to do to close new clients, and to get your posts viral. All you lack is doing the right things consistently. The key is to do the thing so many times that after a point you know what needs to be improved every time you do it. Read it again.
