Have you ever thought to yourself, I really want to write this book, but it feels like if I do I might not succeed? Maybe you think you’ll start but not finish, or maybe you’ll start and it won’t be any good? For the authors I help, whether they’ve written one book, ten books, or none at all, their biggest fear is failing.

On this week’s episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk about the art of failure and how we often forget how important failure is because we are trained to think about how to succeed.

Matt Treacey combined his background in ecological science with his work as a marketing consultant for the world’s top business authors. He discovered that marketing can follow the same healthy growth orders of natural ecosystems and that authors can implement these ideas to create their own healthy marketing plans.

In this episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk with Matt about his book, Natural Orders: Email Marketing Automation Strategy for Small Online Business, and how authors can see marketing as growing healthy relationships rather than a one-time stressful venture.

Have you ever thought about writing a book but found yourself coming up with excuse after excuse for pushing it off? Maybe you’ve gotten busier since the last time you thought about it. Maybe you had a child or changed jobs or got into a new hobby, so how could you possibly have time to write? I see this often with the leaders that I work with; these business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals have very busy schedules already, and finding the time to write a book can seem almost impossible.

On this week’s episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk about the five things you can do to increase your writing even if you don’t have time. I hope this helps you get out of your head and get your words onto the page.

When Terri Trespicio was invited to do a TEDx Talk, she had no idea what subject she would speak on. Her talk now has over eight million views. Years later when she decided she wanted to write a book, she faced the same issue. She was told to include the ideas from her TEDx Talk, but she didn’t have a solid idea of the book’s overall theme or purpose. The first draft of her book looked very different from the book it is today, which Mel Robbins describes as “A. MUST. READ.”

In this episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk with Terri about her book, Unfollow Your Passion: How to Create a Life That Matters to You, and how to create a life you enjoy.

If you’re trying to write a book or do anything creative, sometimes you may find yourself in a rut. So many times we can get stuck in our heads about the action we need to take or we can turn to other people to wonder what we should do. And oftentimes it's not the action you take or what direction you go, it's the fact that you're taking that small step and small steps that are actually the best way to go anywhere.

On this week’s episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk about this feeling of being stuck and give suggestions for you to work your way through it, including a meditation to follow.
