Congratulations to @Kim Job for officially publishing her first book. A message from Kim: After some hard things happened to me as a kid (abuse, foster care, homelessness) I became hyper independent and spent my whole life pushing, proving, and perfecting to be loved. I knew I could achieve anything I set my mind to. What I didn’t know is that achievement would be my deepest story to untangle. 👉 ORDER YOUR COPY HERE That’s what this book is. Not a theory I studied, but the things I lived and the path I walked to find my way out.Untangled gives you a mirror. You will see your own survival strategies and the stories you're still operating inside. And then it gives you a map. It shows you how to dissolve the stories and lead from your True Self. The part that was never tangled. Because no matter what happened to you, you get to CHOOSE what happens next. I'm also holding an 8 week Live Untangled Book Experience where we'll be walking through the book together. I don't want this to be just another book you read. I want it to shift your world.

I’m going to be honest—I am NOT the best when it comes to creating children’s stories. 😂 And one of the biggest challenges I’ve heard people talk about over and over again is 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆. You create the perfect character... then suddenly on the next page they have a different face, different hair, different clothes, or basically look like an entirely different kid. 🤦‍♀️ Well... I’ve been working on a solution for that. 👀 I can’t share everything just yet because I have some pretty epic things happening behind the scenes that I think are going to make creating children’s books MUCH easier. But I’ve been testing the character consistency piece, and for this little experiment I decided to use my son and my dog as the characters in the story. 🥹🐶 And YES—I used AI to create them. So I want your HONEST opinion... 👇 What do you think of the characters? Would you be happy with this level of consistency in a children’s book? I’m very curious to hear what you guys think because your feedback might just help me with something I’m building behind the scenes. 😉

One thing I wish more self-published authors thought about earlier is this: Your book is not the end of the journey. It can be the beginning of your community. A lot of authors wait until they have a huge audience, multiple books, or a massive following before they think about building a community. I actually think that can be backwards. Starting early gives you time to build real relationships with readers, learn what they care about, see what questions they ask, and understand what they may want from you next. That community can eventually become the place where you share new books, trainings, resources, workshops, events, or even future offers. But more importantly, it gives you something that Amazon alone cannot give you: a direct relationship with your audience. 👉START YOUR OWN SKOOL That is a big reason I built my own Skool community, and today we have grown to more than 2,000 members. I just published a new YouTube video breaking down why I think more self-published authors should consider building a Skool community, how I use mine, and different ways authors in completely different niches could create one around their books or expertise. If you have ever thought, “What would I even make a community about?” this video should give you some ideas. Watch it here 👇
