I Have a Question for You!

Last year, I talked with over 200 people about their book idea and the chance to work with me. 

And what I hear over and over again — after offering lots of context and useful information — is:

I’d like to try doing it myself first. 

Whether we’ve been chatting about building an audience and author platform or figuring out what your book should be about and who it’s ultimately for — a lot of people, perhaps even you, want to try DIY before hiring me and my team.

I understand because sometimes, DIY is great. My husband recently fixed the heaters in our house by googling the model number and learning how to recalibrate the thermostat. 

But — like the folks who want to delay hiring me until they are “ready” — his DIY work is a temporary fix. The heaters are still finicky, the one in my office is broken, and we need a real electrician to fix the problem. 

So — I have a question if you’re someone who reads these emails and thinks . . . 

I love what she’s saying but can’t I do that on my own? 

How is that going for you?
