Episode Summary:

In this episode, I break down why writing a signature book—not just any book—is one of the most powerful tools you can use to elevate your brand, expand your visibility, and scale your income. I’ve seen too many entrepreneurs treat writing a book like a "someday" goal or write personal memoirs that don't align with their business strategy. But if you're serious about building a six or seven-figure brand, your book should be rooted in your proven frameworks, results, and transformation.

I explain how your signature book is not only a positioning tool, but also a marketing asset that helps you generate leads, close clients, and become known for your message. Whether you’re coaching, consulting, speaking, or building a service-based business—this episode will challenge you to stop winging your content and start using your book as a foundational business asset.

In this episode, I’m sharing five powerful steps to help you bounce back from life’s setbacks and step into your comeback season with clarity and confidence. Over the past few years, I’ve experienced one setback after another—personally—while my business continued to soar. And what I’ve learned is that challenges don’t disqualify you. In fact, they can refine and reposition you if you respond the right way.

Whether you’ve experienced a failed launch, a personal disappointment, or you’re just feeling stuck, this episode will help you get honest about what happened, feel your emotions without being consumed by them, extract the lessons, and take intentional steps forward. I’m walking you through what it really means to be resilient—not by pushing past your pain, but by honoring it, learning from it, and refusing to let it define you.

This conversation is real, raw, and full of truth that will help you rebuild from the inside out.

Acknowledge and Accept: Don’t minimize what you’re going through. Naming it is the first step to healing.

Feel Your Feelings: Your emotions are valid—but they don’t get to control the direction of your life.

Extract the Lessons: Every setback has something to teach you. Don’t just go through it—grow through it.

Reset and Refocus: Revisit your goals and take one clear action step to rebuild your momentum.

Rebuild Your Confidence: You’ve overcome before—and the strength you used then is still inside you now.

“It’s not the setback that defines you. It’s the comeback.”

“The circumstance that happened does not define you… that strength is still in you.”

“Resilience is not about being emotionless. It’s about being emotionally intelligent.”

“Setbacks are just plot twists that make your victory even sweeter.”

In this unforgettable episode of the Published and Paid Podcast, I went live from the heart of Times Square with none other than Dr. Keena Mosley. We were standing in front of the very billboard that featured her brand-new book, Launch to Impact, and it was a full-circle moment.

Dr. Keena is a two-time author and a dynamic leadership strategist with decades of experience in education and executive leadership. We talked about how she took her idea from concept to Times Square in just 20 weeks, the challenges new leaders face, and what it really takes to build confidence, navigate culture, and lead with clarity and impact.

If you're an emerging leader, a team lead, or a CEO trying to grow your leadership presence, this episode is a must-listen.

Leadership often starts early. Dr. Keena shared how her leadership journey began long before her career—even as a child—and how that identity shaped her path.

Confidence is key. One of the biggest challenges she sees in developing leaders is a lack of confidence. This book helps leaders find their voice and own their power.

You have to study people. Whether you’re managing up or leading a team, your job is to study your leaders and your team so you can lead strategically and communicate effectively.

Culture already exists—shape it wisely. Don’t walk in trying to overhaul everything. Understand the existing culture first, then make changes gradually and with intention.

Mentorship should match your season. The mentor who served you in one phase of life may not be who you need now—and that’s okay. Choose based on where you’re going.

“One is always too small a number for greatness.”
– Dr. Keena Mosley

“Every time your seat changes, the rules change.”
– Dr. Keena Mosley

“You can’t create culture without first understanding it.”
– Dr. Keena Mosley

“Mentoring is legacy. You can’t do it all forever—but you can leave something behind.”
– Dr. Keena Mosley

In this episode, I’m sharing why virtual just isn’t enough—and why in-person events have been one of the biggest game changers in my business. As a former middle school teacher turned seven-figure entrepreneur, I didn’t have the flexibility to travel and speak at conferences when I first started. So instead of waiting for someone to invite me to the stage, I created my own. Hosting workshops gave me the confidence, content, and connection I needed to build my brand—and it can do the same for you.

I’m walking you through the real difference between virtual and in-person experiences, including the live coaching, immersive focus, and powerful networking that only happens when you’re in the room. If you're trying to decide whether attending or hosting a live event is worth the investment, this episode breaks it all down.

I also give you an inside look at the 7-Figure Bestseller Summit—an exclusive, one-day workshop where I’ll personally coach you through writing your book and building a monetized brand. If you’ve been feeling the limitations of Zoom and you're ready for real momentum, this episode is your invitation to get in the room.

Key Takeaways:

In-person > virtual: You can't replicate live coaching, energy, or connections in a breakout Zoom room.

Experience creates transformation: Attending live events collapses your learning curve and increases execution speed.

Immersion beats information: Virtual learning often leads to procrastination; in-person environments allow for focused implementation.

Strategic networking happens in hallways: Some of the most powerful collaborations and contracts are born during lunch breaks, not during keynotes.

Not all events are created equal: Choose experiences with fewer speakers, more access, and a clear framework for action.

Jasmine’s recommendation: Every entrepreneur should host at least one live event a year, even a small workshop, to build authority and connection.

“Virtual gives you information, but in-person gives you implementation—and transformation.”

“I got tired of waiting for someone to invite me to the stage… so I built my own.”

“You can do more in one day at a focused, in-person event than you can in weeks at home.”

“The right room can change your life. Your next opportunity might be one conversation away.”

“Live events aren’t about performance—they’re about strategy, execution, and results.”

In this episode of The Published and Paid Podcast, I’m keeping it real and breaking down exactly why your book isn’t done yet. If you’ve been stuck on Chapter 2 (or 3… or 5), feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or constantly second-guessing yourself, this episode is for you. I’m walking you through the seven most common reasons I’ve seen experts and leaders stall out on their signature book—and how to move past them with clarity and momentum.

Whether it’s perfectionism, lack of a plan, fear of judgment, or just plain burnout, I’m here to remind you that your message matters, and your book can still be finished—sooner than you think. I’ll also share how I still earn income from books I wrote nearly a decade ago, and why I believe your signature book can become the cornerstone of your thought leadership brand.

And if you want support, accountability, and strategy to get it done—join me at the 7-Figure Bestseller Summit in Alpharetta, GA on Saturday, July 12. We’re creating book blueprints, building business models, and helping you finally finish what you started.

Perfectionism is blocking your progress – Your first draft is supposed to be rough. Stop editing while you write.

You need a roadmap – If you’re just writing in journals or phone notes, it’s time to get strategic.

Discipline > Motivation – Waiting to feel inspired won’t cut it. You have to show up even when it’s hard.

Fear of judgment is stealing your momentum – Your book isn’t for the people judging you. It’s for the people who need your help.

You’re trying to do it all alone – Writing can be isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. Find your community.

You’re not making it a priority – If your writing time isn’t scheduled, it won’t happen. Block the time and protect it.

You might be burned out – Rest is work too. When you’re recharged, your creativity flows.

“Perfectionism is the enemy of progress. Your first draft is not your final draft.”

“Validation is for parking—not for going after your goals.”

“Discipline will take you further than motivation ever will.”

“If your writing isn’t on your calendar, you’re not making it a priority.”

“Rest is work too. When you’re recharged, your creativity thrives.”

“Even if it’s been years, your book can be done in the next 12 weeks.”

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the 7-Figure Bestseller Summit—our brand new, one-day immersive event designed specifically for entrepreneurs, experts, and thought leaders who are ready to write a strategic signature book and turn their message into a monetized movement.

I share exactly why I created this summit, how it differs from my previous events like Six-Figure Storyteller Live and Published and Paid LIVE, and why I believe you don’t need 3 or 4 days to get real, transformational results. I also break down the thought process and instructional design that goes into every session I host—because I don’t create events just for inspiration. I create experiences for implementation.

If you’ve ever wanted to be in the room with me for a high-level book strategy VIP Day—but at a fraction of the cost—this is your chance. Think of this event as a group VIP experience that will help you finish your book in 12 weeks or less, and position it as a profitable brand asset you can use for speaking, coaching, digital products, and more.

Why I transitioned from multi-day events to a one-day, high-impact summit

The difference between inspirational events and transformational experiences

A look into my instructional design process for creating sessions with real outcomes

What a Signature Book Blueprint is—and how it helps you write and monetize your book

How one client went from idea to book launch (and Times Square billboard!) in under 5 months

Why writing your book doesn’t have to be overwhelming—or take years to complete

“If I’m going to take a day out of my life to attend an event—I want to learn something. Not just be talked at. Not just be inspired. I want implementation.” – Jasmine Womack

“The 7-Figure Bestseller Summit is not just another event. It’s a curated, high-touch, strategic experience designed to help you finish your book and build your brand—fast.” – Jasmine Womack

“Your book doesn’t have to take a year to write. With the right framework and plan, you can get it done in 12 weeks or less.” – Jasmine Womack

“I approach every event I host with the mindset of a teacher. Because I believe if people are investing their time and energy to be in the room, they should leave with more than they expected.” – Jasmine Womack

In this episode of The Published and Paid Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sheila Carmichael—an executive coach, leadership architect, and author of the powerful book Presence: Coaching Strategies to Ignite Your Authentic Leadership.

Sheila and I first met at one of my Published and Paid LIVE events, and what stood out to me then still holds true today—she brings passion, clarity, and deep wisdom to every room she enters. We discussed her journey from corporate leadership to authorship, and what it really means to lead with presence from the inside out.

If you're in the coaching space, aspiring to lead in professional environments, or considering writing a book to position your expertise—this episode will offer perspective, encouragement, and tangible insights.

We also unpacked the difference between coaching, mentoring, and advising—and why being credentialed through an organization like the International Coaching Federation (ICF) is so important if you're serious about showing up as a professional coach, especially in corporate spaces.

Presence is not just how you show up—it’s who you are when you do.

The coaching industry is unregulated, which means it’s easy to call yourself a coach, but mastering the skill requires proper training and ethical standards.

Writing a book challenges you to walk in integrity with your message and deepens your self-awareness.

ICF certification brings structure, credibility, and clarity to your coaching practice—especially for those looking to enter corporate environments.

Publishing a book can significantly elevate your brand, clarify your content, and open doors for high-impact conversations.

“Presence isn’t just the title you carry—it’s about aligning your inner values with how you lead externally.” – Sheila Carmichael

“If you're serious about coaching professionally, take the time to understand what real coaching is. That starts with learning the core competencies.” – Sheila Carmichael

“There’s a difference between advising and coaching. I didn’t realize that early on, but once I got certified, everything shifted.” – Sheila Carmichael

“Your book becomes a mirror. It holds you accountable to the message you’re putting into the world.” – Jasmine Womack

“Not every certification is created equal. If you’re planning to take your work into corporate spaces, make sure you’re aligned with industry standards.” – Jasmine Womack

Let’s talk about something most aspiring authors completely overlook: writing a book that actually sells and supports your business. In this episode, I walk you through what it really takes to turn your expertise and experiences into a profitable thought leadership book—not just a passion project.

Because here’s the truth: good writing alone isn’t enough. I’ve seen people with average writing skills outsell brilliant authors simply because they understand marketing, positioning, and strategy.

If your goal is to build a brand, book speaking gigs, launch coaching offers, or grow your business… then this episode is your blueprint.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

Start with the end in mind. Before you write a single word, ask: What do I want this book to do for me? For my readers? What doors do I want it to open?

Blend strategy with storytelling. Your story alone isn’t enough. It’s how you strategically use your story to teach, lead, and guide.

You need a clear framework. I walk you through why having a signature framework is essential—and how it becomes the foundation for your offers.

Think beyond book sales. If you’re only thinking about selling books, you’re playing small. This episode will challenge you to map out a full monetization plan—from speaking to coaching to digital products.

Pre-sell with purpose. Don’t wait for launch day to talk about your book. I explain how to build buzz and demand before it even drops.

Quotes

“Nobody cares about your book as much as you do. They care about how it helps them.”

“You’re not writing a memoir. You’re creating a movement.”

“Your personal story should support the transformation—not take the spotlight.”

“If you don’t have a monetization plan, your book becomes a missed opportunity.”

In this episode, I’m sharing a real and raw look into how I’ve built consistent daily sales using digital products—and how you can too. I break down the actual revenue goals I’ve set, the systems I use to sell passively, and how I’ve structured my offers for maximum impact. From bundling my digital products with my book, to leveraging tools for automation, I take you behind the curtain of my thought leadership business.

I even share how I generated $5,000 in just two days—without a launch—and how you can create income-generating digital products that work while you rest. If you’ve been sitting on your expertise and not monetizing it, this episode is your blueprint to start building your own income-generating digital ecosystem.

If showing up on camera makes you nervous, you’re not alone—and this episode is definitely for you.

In this conversation, I’m sharing why being confident on video is no longer optional if you're building a brand or business in 2025. I’ll show you how to start small (like using Instagram Stories or recording short videos), how to build your comfort level over time, and why video helps people connect with you faster than anything else.

I’m also sharing my own journey with on-camera fear, and how one of my clients landed a five-figure consulting contract simply by showing up consistently on video. From imposter syndrome to the "I don’t like how I look on camera" struggle, I’m addressing all the mindset blocks—and how to push past them.

Plus, I’ll give you a sneak peek into the upcoming 7 Figure Bestseller Summit, happening July 12, 2025, in Alpharetta, Georgia, where I’ll help you boost your on-camera confidence and learn how to sell like the expert you already are.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

- Why video is a must-have in your brand strategy for 2025 - What to do when you’re nervous, unsure, or worried about how you look

- How to get comfortable by starting small (without the pressure) - Why live video creates deeper connections with your audience

- Simple tools and setup tips (no fancy gear needed!) - How showing up on video helped a client land a major contract

- What’s in store at the Seven Figure Bestseller Summit

Quotes

“You might feel awkward, you might not like how you sound—but I’d rather show up imperfectly than stay silent and miss the chance to fulfill my calling.”

“Don’t let tech intimidate you. Use what you have. Your phone, good lighting, and clear audio are more than enough.”

“Before you try to sell, you need to serve. Teach something. Give value. People buy from those they trust—and video fast-tracks that trust.”

“Go live. Talk to real people. Engage in real time. That’s how you build a loyal audience that buys.”

“One of my clients closed a five-figure consulting deal because she showed up on LinkedIn with consistent video content. Visibility created the opportunity.”
