🌟This year, I’m taking some powerful advice from Jen Gottlieb. She’s a bestselling author📓 and professional speaker, but what she does best is capture attention and help people step into visibility. I’m listening to her book Be Seen on Audible for the second time, and it’s all about getting out of your comfort zone, putting yourself in front of people, and confidently sharing the work you’re doing and the impact you’re making. 🙌 I’ve had the opportunity to attend a few of her events, and her energy is unmatched. But what really matters is this: it was at her event that I felt inspired to do this—to teach others how to self-publish books so they can create real opportunities for themselves, including becoming Amazon bestsellers, even without a large audience. 💥“Being seen” is a big goal for me this year. In the past, I played small, dimmed my light, and stayed quiet. That’s changing. I’m pushing myself to do more live events, show up more consistently on social media, and put myself out there for podcast opportunities. The more people understand what I’m building, the more this community can grow—and the more support, ideas, collaboration, and opportunities I can bring back to all of you. If this post nudges you to move forward on your own goals, that’s a win. 👉 Is there a book guiding you as you move into 2026? Drop it below—I’d love to grab the audiobook and listen along.

A book isn’t just something you publish once and hope people buy. It’s a digital asset. I’ve used books to generate over $100K in passive income through Amazon, but that’s only one way to use them. A book can also elevate your business, increase your authority, and instantly boost your credibility. I’ve seen so many coaches do this well—using a low-cost book as a lead generator that naturally moves readers into higher-ticket offers, programs, or 1:1 work. The mistake I see most people make is jumping straight to “what should I write about?” without getting clear on why they’re publishing in the first place. When you know your goal and purpose, you can be strategic from the start: - Is this book meant to generate passive income? - Is it meant to attract ideal clients? - Is it meant to warm up leads before a higher-ticket offer? - Is it meant to position you as the expert in your niche? The goal you choose shapes everything—your topic, format, length, pricing, and how you market it. So before you think about chapters or titles, start here 👇What do you want a book to do for you?
