I’m setting an intentional goal for 2026: to be a guest on podcasts at least once a month. If you host a podcast and are looking for guests, I’d love to connect. I’ve been self-publishing for the last few years to generate passive income, and now I teach others how to turn books into income-producing assets—whether they’re first-time authors, coaches, or business owners who want a book that actually works for their brand. Happy to talk about: - Self-publishing as passive income - How a simple book can lead to higher-ticket offers - Building authority and audience through books - Lessons learned from publishing multiple books If this fits your show, drop a comment or DM me and let’s see if it’s a good match.

I had a chat with a massage therapist the other day. And she was giving me resistance on hiring a VA that I wanted to recommend to her. It wasn't cause she didn't have the money. She's booked out until March. It was because her stuff was messy. For some people, bringing in someone can be a little embarrassing because it's a moment in our business where we have to be brutally honest with ourselves. Most people don’t delay hiring a VA because of money. They delay because hiring forces transparency. When we bring someone in, we can’t keep pretending the chaos is temporary. We can’t blame the season, the launch, the algorithm, or the platform. A VA doesn’t just help. They witness. They see the half-built systems. The ideas living in notes apps. The SOPs that exist only in your head. The revenue that should feel easier by now. And a VA worth her keyboard is going to call all of it out. And that’s uncomfortable. So instead, people say: I’ll wait until I’m more consistent. I’ll hire once I clean things up. I’m not ready to manage someone yet. Translation: If I don’t hire, I don’t have to confront how I’m actually running this. You don’t hire a VA because you’re ready. You become ready because you hired one. Clarity comes after delegation. Systems get built when someone needs them. Consistency happens when you’re no longer doing everything yourself. Hiring a VA isn’t a reward for being organized. It’s the decision that forces organization. And if what’s really stopping you is fear of choosing wrong, overpaying, or hiring someone who can’t actually support you, that’s exactly why the Hire a VA Skool exists. It’s not a hype list. It’s not random freelancers. It’s verified, professional VAs who treat this like a business, because you should too. You’re not “not ready.” You’re just standing at the edge of the next version of how you run things.
