What happens when you don't trust yourself

The literary world was abuzz recently when soon-to-be debut author Jumi Bello confessed in an essay on Literary Hub to plagiarizing parts of her debut novel, “The Leaving,” which was then yanked from Riverhead’s summer lineup. The New York Times reports: “The essay chronicled her history with mental illness and the pressures of producing a debut…

Your talk shouldn't take forever

How long have you been “working on your talk?” My guess: Too long. If there’s no deadline, you can work on it forever. And it will take about that long. We don’t give talks because they’re “ready.” We give talks because it’s time. And because nothing can put you on people’s radar like being right…

All speaking is public speaking

Just as we’re all writers, we’re all speakers. You don’t have to make your living traveling the world doing keynotes. EVERY time you stand up in front of a room with other people in it, or speak up, even if you remain sitting. You’re public speaking. Period the end. It’s not something just professional speakers…

Are you a good writer?

Would you say you’re a good writer? Or a bad one? This was the question Entrepreneur’s editor in chief Jason Feifer, host of the Build for Tomorrow podcast, posted on LinkedIn recently. OK, I’ll bite, I thought. I selected “good.” Here were the poll results: Wow — More than half thought they were good, and…

When I was an MLM'er

My brilliant, sweet friend Jenny Blake, founder of Pivot, had me on her podcast for the launch of Unfollow Your Passion. And her first question? “Tell us about the MLM days.” Ah, yes. For a few years in the early aughts, I was a multi-level marketing member, someone who sold jewelry for a now-defunct company…

One way to get your work seen (not sure I recommend)

The Washington Post reported a charming tale of an 8-year-old kid named Dillon who wrote and illustrated his own book, then snuck it into the stacks of his local library in Boise. Dillon later admitted that what he did was “naughty-ish.” But the covert act of analog sharing not only won over the librarians, they…
