  • 115: How to Write Like a Gangster w/ Honoree Corder

    It is no secret that I am a HUGE fanboy of Honoree Corder. And I should be, right? Her principles and strategies have allowed me to envision my future, set smart and measurable goals to work towards, and ultimately track and accomplish my those goals to bring my vision to reality.

    What I once thought was impossible is now REAL. I’ve put my notice in at my ‘career job.’ I’m selling my house and moving to the beautiful Northwest. I’m starting my journey of a 24/7 location independent freedom lifestyle. It’s surreal.

    I’m not any smarter than you, and I don’t have any skills or talents that I didn’t work my ass off to achieve.

    The point is, it’s all attainable if you BELIEVE it is. Once you believe, it is just a matter of taking action on a consistent basis.

    Honoree Corder understands this because she started from the bottom JUST LIKE US. She doesn’t have a college degree or divine superpowers (although I’d argue the second), but she has mastered the principals required to become the happiest, healthiest, and most prosperous writer possible.

    In this episode, we discuss these core principals and how they not only work for writers, but for everyone. We also discuss the topic of her newest book “Prosperity for Writers,” and how these principals can be used to create massive abundance in your career.

    Put your sarcasm hat on, cause Honoree is wildddddd.

    Highlights 
    • 10:30: Honoree talks about her reasons for writing the kind of books she writes.
    • 15:00: How writing to an avatar can be an effective method in writing a book.
    • 20:01: The fate of her first published book in 2004 sans title as it was a self-published and self- edited book and how the book had a rebirth with a competent editor.
    • 22:15: How the right keywords propel sales to rocket highs. She shares what happened to one of her books as soon as the right keywords were found. That book was languishing around for 6 years until they got the category spot on. With the right keywords, that book sold out immediately.
    • 27:23: The “starving artist” is not a rule. Honoree believes that knowing the right people, knowing your craft and knowing things can make a prosperous writer come out of any writer.
    • 30:33: Her mindset about money and abundance when she was still in networking. One’s checkbook balance is a good indicator of where one is in the scheme of things. However, Honoree totally believes that we have it in us to pause and assess where we are, what’s important, then we can empower ourselves and change ourselves for success.
    • 36:31: Honoree shares B.O.L.O. and how doing this can change anyone’s life for the better. She also shares how B.O.L.O. can turn around one’s perspective. She has another one – F.A.M.E. with F for Focus. Listen how she blends the idealistic affirmation with the practicality of focus.
    • 46:23: Why the dirty first draft is not an issue. She advises to just get the words out. She promises that you will be amazed at the thoughts in that draft and the pride it brings to you in being productive.
    • 49:50: Honoree’s method for writing ideas. She has a logical and convincing approach to imparting ideas.
    • 56:00: Honoree explains tithing as a spiritual practice that works on the principle of giving away something so it can comeback at least double or tenfold. Honoree talks about an incredible experience of how tithing worked for her and shares how “Miracle Morning” came to be because of tithing.

            • 114: The Confusion of Growing Up as an Artist w/ Mike Brennan

              Life is a massive journey of creation. We are all products of creation, and we are all living for creation. However, there is seldom a clear path that paints the way for our dreams, our happiness, and the meaning our existence.

              We all get lost. It is the root that allow us to create ourselves just as we please.

              After all, we cannot find ourselves unless we lose ourselves.

              Mike Brennan was absorbed in the magic of arts as a child, and he loved making others smile. By creating, he was able to bring out more smiles in those around him, and it brought him peace.

              He always had a vision and drive for working in the arts the rest of his life, but life takes unexpected twists that bring mass confusion.

              In this chat, Mike and I discuss the struggle and confusion of growing up as an artist, and all of the blindside magic that life throws at us. He also gets into his creative techniques and his campaign to create a new piece every single day.

              Highlights 
              • 09:29: Mike reminisces about his childhood and how his talent for drawing, already very much in evidence then, shaped his decision to seriously pursue art – much to the initial dismay of his Dad.
              • 18:30: About how the book “The Creative License” gave him a different perspective of his art and how it had spurned him to a different level of creativity.
              • 20:21: About the start of Mike’s social drawings with line art through an iPhone app and how he had used this momentum to keep on going with other art projects.
              • 24:00: How it feels doing live paintings during a concert when all eyes are on him.
              • 27:30: How it is to be a graphic designer and surviving the nitty gritty details of living.  The constant conflict between being true to his art and the practical concerns of career questions.
              • 32:54: About how knowing yourself and investing time to get to know yourself can help with goals and tracking progress.
              • 36:30: Shares how small goals can be important in the battle to be on track, how he keeps 5 small things to be tagged as “Done” on his whiteboard on a weekly basis and also to remember to celebrate the ticking off of each of these little milestones.
              • 41:20: Shares his definition of success and how it is achieved by staying on course no matter how difficult.
              • 45:01: Talks about how it is to lose a passion and a dream and how his faith showed him another path. Certainly, it was not graphic design nor art but God’s design because suddenly Mike finds himself in full-time ministry work and loving it. Listen as he talks about how he started a church.
              • 51:18: Listen as Mike shares how it was for him to go back to the design world after ten years of doing ministry work. The crazy polarity of these two interests was just too much in one resume. Amazingly, all turned out for the best and now Mike is the graphic designer of a church! Mike attributes this astonishing twist of fate as the hand of God in his life.
              • 56:10: Mike shares his thoughts about how to put the true value on a piece of work that is also almost a piece of himself.

                    “I will do a painting for the wanted poster of Godzilla. Then I will make Godzilla watch the last two Godzilla movies that were made and he would probably just pack it in himself.”

                    Advice from the show…
                    • It has been part of my journey to embrace, ‘You know what? I am a mess and I love it!
