"As long as you're alive, you'll either achieve your own goals and dreams or you'll be used for other people's goals and dreams" - Grant Cardone, 10x Rule. --- I often find that authors get caught up in the vanity of writing or their fears and forget that hard work is needed. Goals don't happen without planning and consistent application of effort. What's your dream? Do you aim high?

Good afternoon! I wanted to send an update to let you know about my future plans for the Big Dream Fuel community. I plan to convert the Big Dream Fuel membership to a paid plan after we get 100 active members. This will allow the site and community to become well-established prior to the conversion. At that point, I'm looking at a price point of around $10.00 a month. Founding members (the first 100) will continue to have free access to the community. I would appreciate it if you could please add content that personally inspires you, such as quotes, images, helpful links, etc. Also, let me know if you have valuable written content in PDF form that I could consider adding to the classroom section. This would be a great way for you to indirectly promote yourself or your business. As usual, any helpful advice or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Rick

What's a good personal brand? Today I had TWO brand experts give advice on my presence and positioning. It made me realise that I had not been strongly focused on who I serve and WHY. Bob Gentle of Amplify.me said "you have the genius zone, helping authors with the business behind the book, now you need the relationships and focused message" Incredibly, he put it in words I'd never thought of before! What's your core value statement?

Hi and thanks for accepting me. I'm a writer, editor, publisher and I create courses for authors. I strongly identify with the creative personality. 'Creative ways' also appears in one of my book titles! As I am about to create a supportive program for authors or podcasters, I want to know what would be your preferred method of gathering an audience: videos, blogs, webinars, or groups like Skool?
