  • Why You Should Self-Publish a Book in the Next 90 Days to Grow Your Business

    If you’ve been saying, “One day I’ll write a book,” this is your sign that one day is now.

    Not next year.
    Not when things slow down.
    Not when you feel “more ready.”

    The truth is, self-publishing a book in the next 90 days can completely change the trajectory of your business—and faster than almost any other marketing strategy available today.

    Let me explain why.

    A Book Instantly Positions You as the Authority

    In a crowded online world, attention is expensive—but authority cuts through the noise.

    When you become an author, the conversation shifts:

    • You’re no longer “another coach” or “one of many consultants”
    • You’re the author of the book on your topic
    • Your message carries weight before you ever say a word

    A book does what years of posting on social media often can’t—it establishes credibility at scale.

    And no, it doesn’t have to be a 300-page masterpiece. The most powerful business books are clear, concise, and action-driven.

    A Book Is the Ultimate Business Asset

    Unlike ads that stop working when you stop paying, a book keeps working for you.

    Your book can:

    • Open doors to podcasts, stages, and media
    • Become your most powerful lead generator
    • Warm up prospects before they ever get on a call with you
    • Increase conversion rates across all your offers

    I’ve watched authors close higher-ticket clients simply because someone read a chapter of their book first.

    That’s leverage.

    Speed Matters More Than Perfection

    One of the biggest myths I hear is:

    “I need more time.”

    What most people actually need is a proven process.

    Self-publishing today isn’t about waiting for permission or perfection. It’s about getting your message into the hands of the people who need it now.

    In 90 days, you could:

    • Clearly define your core message
    • Publish a professional book aligned with your business
    • Start using that book to drive visibility, leads, and revenue

    Every month you delay is momentum you don’t get back.

    A Book Turns Visibility Into Revenue

    Visibility without strategy is just noise.

    But when your book is intentionally designed to support your business, it becomes a bridge:

    • From reader → subscriber
    • From subscriber → client
    • From client → long-term advocate

    Your book isn’t just something you publish—it’s something you activate.

    And when paired with podcast interviews, speaking opportunities, and strategic media, your book becomes the centerpiece of your growth engine.

    Why the Next 90 Days Matter

    There is something powerful about committing to a short, focused timeline.

    Ninety days creates:

    • Clarity instead of overthinking
    • Momentum instead of procrastination
    • Results instead of “someday”

    Most people don’t fail to publish because they aren’t capable.
    They fail because they try to do it alone.

    A Gentle Invitation

    If you know you have a book inside you—and you want it published with purpose, not just to say you did it—this is exactly why Author-licity exists.

    It’s designed for business owners who want to:

    • Publish efficiently
    • Position themselves as authorities
    • And turn their book into a growth tool—not a dusty Amazon link

    You don’t need more information.
    You need alignment, support, and a clear path forward.

    Your message is already powerful.
    Publishing it might be the move that finally lets the right people find you.

    And the next 90 days?
    They’re going to pass anyway.

    The question is—will you finish what you started?

  • When is the Best Time to Publish My Story?

    “Visibility Is Your Responsibility”

    For years, we’ve been told that if our work is good enough, we’ll be discovered.

    That visibility will come after success.

    That humility means staying quiet.

    That someone else—an algorithm, a publisher, a producer—will eventually tap us on the shoulder and say, “It’s your turn.”

    But here’s the uncomfortable truth:

    Visibility doesn’t happen. It’s created.

    And in today’s world, choosing not to be visible isn’t neutral—it’s a decision with consequences.

    The Myth of Accidental Impact

    We live in an era where knowledge has never been more accessible, yet wisdom is increasingly buried.

    It seems like the experts are staying silent while louder, less qualified voices are dominating the conversation.

    I’ve had many thought-leaders tell me they’re waiting until they feel “ready.” Oftentimes, these are entrepreneurs with decades of experience who have convinced themselves it’s not the right time.

    Meanwhile, the people who need your insight are left searching.

    The myth of “accidental impact” tells us that if our message matters, it will rise on its own.

    But history tells a different story.

    Every movement, every shift in culture, every meaningful change was carried forward by people who chose to be seen—often before they felt ready.

    Impact requires intention. And intention requires visibility.

    Social Media Isn’t Legacy—It’s a Moment

    We’ve confused being present with being permanent.

    A post gets likes today and disappears tomorrow.

    An algorithm changes, and years of work vanish overnight.

    Platforms we built entire businesses on no longer belong to us.

    Visibility that lives only on borrowed platforms is fragile.

    Legacy, on the other hand, is built through mediums that endure:

    • Books that can’t be deleted
    • Conversations that live beyond trends
    • Ideas that can be referenced, revisited, and reshared long after the moment has passed

    When your life’s work is reduced to content that expires in 24 hours, your message is at the mercy of systems you don’t control.

    True visibility isn’t about chasing attention—it’s about creating permanence.

    Silence Is Still a Choice

    Many people believe staying quiet is the safer option.

    But silence doesn’t protect your message. It buries it.

    If you’ve learned something the hard way,

    If you’ve built something that works,

    If you’ve navigated challenges others are still facing—

    Then your voice isn’t extra. It’s essential.

    Choosing not to share what you know doesn’t just affect you. It affects the people who never get access to the perspective only you can offer.

    Visibility is not about ego. It’s about stewardship.

    You Don’t Need More Credentials—You Need Ownership

    The most common objection I hear is, “I need to be further along first.”

    But authority today isn’t granted by gatekeepers—it’s built through contribution.

    You don’t need permission to:

    • Share your story
    • Document what you’ve learned
    • Speak about what you know
    • Claim space in conversations that matter

    Ownership of your voice is the new credibility.

    And when you own your message—through publishing, speaking, or long-form media—you stop waiting to be chosen and start leading.

    The Responsibility of Being Visible

    Visibility is often framed as a personal brand strategy.

    But it’s bigger than that.

    When you choose visibility:

    • You give others permission to speak
    • You normalize leadership for those watching
    • You preserve ideas that deserve to outlive trends

    Your responsibility isn’t to be everywhere.

    It’s to be intentional about where your message lives.

    Because the truth is, someone is learning from someone else in your absence.

    The Question That Changes Everything

    So the real question isn’t, “Do I want to be visible?”

    It’s this:

    What happens if the people who need my voice never hear it?

    Visibility isn’t about being louder.

    It’s about being accountable to the impact you’re capable of making.

    And legacy doesn’t begin someday.

    It begins the moment you decide your story matters enough to be published.

  • Top 12 Objections That Stop People From Publishing Their Book

    Have you ever felt the nudge to write your book, but something keeps getting in the way? You’re not alone.

    Every author — whether they’re just beginning or already sitting on a half-written manuscript — experiences the same doubts, fears, and roadblocks. The good news? Every single one of these obstacles is completely normal… and completely solvable with the right support.

    Here are the top 12 objections that keep people from publishing their book, along with exactly how our Author-licity™ coaching program helsp you move through each one with clarity and confidence.

    1. “I don’t know where to start.”

    Publishing a book can feel overwhelming when you’re staring at a blank page.
    How we help: We give you a clear, proven, step-by-step roadmap. From idea to outline to published book, you always know your next step. No guesswork, no overwhelm — just momentum.

    2. “What if it’s not good enough?”

    Fear of judgment or imperfection keeps more authors stuck than anything else.
    How we help: You get coaching, feedback, and structure to refine your content and bring your best ideas forward. We help you feel confident that your message is strong, valuable, and ready for readers.

    3. “I don’t have enough time.”

    Most people think writing a book requires years.
    How we help: Our Author-licity™ framework shows you exactly how to write and publish your book in small, focused blocks of time. With accountability and templates, you stay on track even with a busy life.

    4. “I’m not a ‘real’ writer.”

    So many aspiring authors believe they need perfect skills or a literary background. Not true.
    How we help: We help you write in your natural voice, structure your ideas, and turn your expertise into a powerful book. Most of our authors are not writers — they’re experts with a message.

    5. “What if nobody reads it?”

    The fear of pouring your heart into a book and hearing crickets is real.
    How we help: We teach you how to identify your ideal reader, position your book, and use podcast interviews to build demand — even before your book launches.

    6. “My idea isn’t unique enough.”

    Many authors compare their ideas to others and talk themselves out of writing.
    How we help: We help you uncover your unique angle, voice, and story — the pieces that make your book stand out. Your message matters, and your perspective is the differentiator.

    7. “Publishing is too expensive.”

    A lot of people think publishing requires huge fees or signing everything over to a publisher.
    How we help: We focus on cost-effective self-publishing strategies where you keep your royalties, maintain control, and publish professionally without breaking the bank.

    8. “I don’t want to deal with the tech.”

    Formatting, ISBNs, uploads, covers — it can all feel intimidating.
    How we help: We guide you through every technical step with simple instructions, resources, and hands-on support so you never feel stuck.

    9. “I don’t know how to market it.”

    A book without a marketing plan becomes a best-kept secret.
    How we help: We teach a simple, repeatable marketing strategy using podcast interviews, visibility, and authentic connections — not complicated launches or funnels. You’ll know exactly how to get readers and build momentum.

    10. “I’m afraid of telling my story.”

    Writing a book can bring up vulnerability — especially if it’s personal.
    How we help: We create a safe, supportive environment where you decide what to share. You’ll learn how to tell your story in a way that empowers both you and your reader.

    11. “What if I succeed?”

    Success can be just as scary as failure.
    How we help: We help you step into your authority with confidence and give you a plan for what comes next — additional books, media, speaking, or business growth. You’re supported every step of the way.

    12. “It’s not the right time.”

    Life feels busy, unpredictable, or full — so people wait for the “perfect time.”
    How we help: There is no perfect time. But with structure, accountability, and a community cheering you on, you’ll create progress faster than you thought possible. This is your sign that now is the right time.

    Final Thoughts: You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

    Writing a book is one of the most powerful ways to grow your credibility, share your message, and make an impact — but it doesn’t have to be confusing, overwhelming, or done in isolation.

    With the right coaching, support, and roadmap, you can publish your book faster and easier than you ever imagined.

    If you’re ready to finally bring your book to the world, we’d love to guide you every step of the way.

  • Things That Aren’t Offensive, But Might Be Taken That Way

    Things That Aren’t Offensive, But Might Be Taken That Way

    Receiving the Perspective of Jesus to Uproot the Stumbling Blocks of Offense

    By Heather Evans and Lisa Dodge Pinkham

    Many Christians grow up believing that a relationship with Jesus is built through church attendance and Bible reading—but what if there’s more? Heather Evans grew up in a conservative Christian home, longing for a deeper, more tangible relationship with Jesus. As she pursued Him, she discovered that He not only satisfies that hunger but also provides insight into the barriers that keep us from truly hearing Him.

    One of the greatest stumbling blocks? Offense.

    Through her own journey of growing closer to Jesus, Heather began to see how offense fuels division in families and churches and how it can block people from truly connecting with God. In this book, she shares the insights Jesus revealed to her—powerful keys to healing the heart, uprooting offense, and restoring relationships. These same insights have helped many others on their path to freedom, and they can help you, too.

    If you desire a deeper connection with Jesus, a heart free from offense, and healing that leads to lasting peace, this book is for you.

    It’s time to gain His perspective, let go of offense, and Finish Well.
