Resources and Recommendations
The best people know the best people.
For Authors
Finishing your manuscript is just step one. It takes a village to help get your book out in the world in the way you envision. Make sure that you have all of the people in place to help you meet your goals for your book and beyond.
For Speakers
Speaking and training can be a full-time job. You are ready to bump up to that next level of success but need some support to get there. Show up as your best self and leave everything outside your zone of genius to the experts.
For Leaders
Executives and solopreneurs both need connection to succeed in business. Build the reputation that supports the life you want to live. Rely on the best people outside of your industry to help you perform the best in yours.
Tech Resources
Sometimes the best mousetrap has already been invented. There’s an app for a lot of the repetitive tasks that you need to get done. Work smarter, not harder with these digital resources and software (SaaS if you are feeling nerdy) recommendations.
