I Won’t Treat You This Way

Last year, I found out a client — who I had known for a decade before working together — stole a proprietary framework I taught at a workshop. That I let her join for free.

I told her what she did wasn’t cool and didn’t get a response.

So, because of karma (and the likelihood that a lawsuit wouldn’t be worth time and money) I let that ‘ish go.

And in June, I got an email from her trying to sell me on an “intimate” offer that she promised she wasn’t automating.

Y’all.

This is what I will never, ever, EVER do to you. 

I’m not the type to sell, sell, sell just for the sake of selling. 

While I love money (who doesn’t?) I also deeply want my clients and the people to learn from me to be successful. 

That’s why I offer so much free information in these emails and on my Instagram.

That’s why my team and I created the quiz to help you know if we’re right for you (with free, vetted referrals when we’re not a good fit).

And it’s why we only work with people that I know have a very good chance of getting a book deal — and try to teach the rest what they need to know to get there.

I care about you. 

My team of editors and readers cares about you. 

And while that doesn’t mean we don’t mess up sometimes (particularly with the techy automagic that allows us to reach 12,000 people at once across platforms) — I make it a point to act with integrity and give you the best advice possible.

Does that mean I’ll always tell you that you’re amazing, always agree that you’re right, always say yes to what you’re asking?

Heck no. 

Because I’m honest, and more than a little tough. 

But I trust that you can handle it because you’re here. 

You’re an expert or entrepreneur that wants to be at the top of your game, who dreams of being an author today.

I’m here for that, and glad you are too.
