- 0:14experience. And I have a passion for discovering
- 0:18what kind of growth you can get from seemingly small
- 0:22changes. And I wanna thank you for taking this time
- 0:25to share your entrepreneurial journey with me, and, hopefully, it's a it's a
- 0:29journey of exploration and inspiration. And this week, we
- 0:33have the amazing Kathy Kaye, and she's gonna
- 0:36share some unexpected change or some insight that's gonna
- 0:40help you to grow your business and whether it's personal or
- 0:44professional. Kathy, thank you for joining us.
- 0:48Tell us about yourself, what you do, and what was a small change that
- 0:51helped you to do it better? Oh my goodness. Well, I'm
- 0:55Kathy Kaye. I make best selling authors. I've been helping
- 0:59people share their story and make best selling books since
- 1:0202/2009. I have over 600 best selling authors
- 1:07and, to share a change.
- 1:11So it was a somewhat small move to a major
- 1:15change in comparison of how major the change was, and that's
- 1:18coaching. For me in my business, it was coaching.
- 1:22And then I have to add to that now it's AI.
- 1:26But without the coaching, I wouldn't be ready
- 1:30for AI. Like, it just I was
- 1:33resistant to coaching for maybe fifteen years. I started out in
- 1:37online business in 1997, and I
- 1:41really didn't catch on to needing a
- 1:44coach, hiring a coach, getting help until probably about
- 1:48fifteen years into business. So I knew my business well, but
- 1:51there were things I was missing and a lot of it was around
- 1:55limiting beliefs and what was even possible.
- 1:59So for me, the biggest change came from hiring a coach
- 2:02and I won't ever look back again, hire a coach for everything I need in
- 2:06my life. I have to say that one of the things when I went into
- 2:09coaching, my first coach, when I was talking to
- 2:13her, she said, when somebody says when you're
- 2:17talking to them about coaching and they say to you, do you have
- 2:21a coach? And you say no. Why are
- 2:24they why do they why are they gonna think they need a coach? And I
- 2:27was like, oh my god. That is so true. Yeah. So coaching could
- 2:31I I I went into coaching because
- 2:36I like the idea that I didn't have to have the answer.
- 2:40I could the that the power was in the question, not necessarily
- 2:44in the answer. So so tell us more about that. You talked about, you know,
- 2:47that you, you know, went for fifteen years. And I think the
- 2:51important part about that is that you knew what
- 2:55you were doing, and so often we don't know what
- 2:59we don't know. We have blind spots. Right. And and that's
- 3:02to me, that is one of the values of of coaching. That
- 3:06and having somebody that you can actually
- 3:11that's dedicated to you, that you can actually say
- 3:14what you wanna say. You don't have to sugarcoat it necessarily.
- 3:19Right. Yeah. Well, I mean, I really
- 3:23I love the coaching industry now more than ever. And I don't really consider
- 3:27myself a coach. Although I do teach authors, I support
- 3:30authors. But I always have
- 3:34coaches in my life, and my primary clients
- 3:37tend to be coaches because they're trying to share, like that one
- 3:41amazing thing that they want to be known for in the world. And,
- 3:46my first major coaching experience was with Lisa Nichols,
- 3:50and it profoundly impacted my business. As you mentioned,
- 3:54yes, I had fifteen years of experience and I knew
- 3:57what I was doing as far as, like, online business development and all that. But
- 4:01I was like, my social media, I would
- 4:04build my clients' social media. I would create
- 4:08funnels for them and drive traffic to those funnels and build their businesses and
- 4:12stuff. That's what I started out in. But my social media
- 4:16was a flower. The picture was a flower. I wouldn't be seen online
- 4:19because of my size and because I felt like I'm not a professional. I'm not
- 4:23trained in this. I'm just I'm a behind the scenes kinda girl. Right?
- 4:27The first thing that Lisa Nichols did for me was made me
- 4:31get visible, vulnerable, and authentic. In other words, get in front of the
- 4:34camera. Get in front of the camera, talk to people, reach people,
- 4:38let them know what the heck you do. And I'll tell you that first year
- 4:41in coaching with her, my business increased by
- 4:44800%. Eight hundred %.
- 4:48And and and I agree with you. I think that is probably, to me, one
- 4:52of the biggest mistakes is not getting in front
- 4:56of people, you know, and being who you are. And I share that same
- 5:00for those of you that don't know me, for those of you who do, you've
- 5:02heard it for the umpteenth time. At one point, I weighed four hundred and forty
- 5:05pounds And, you know, lost almost 200, kept off
- 5:09over a 50. But I was like, I did not want to be
- 5:12seen. Do you know? Only to find out that
- 5:16that probably is one of the best the best
- 5:20stories in the arsenal. Do you know? Because it's like I
- 5:23had a lot of ups and downs. It took me fifteen to twenty years to
- 5:26lose it. It didn't happen overnight. I mean, I didn't you know, I lost some.
- 5:30I gained some. I lost some more. I stayed stat you know? I mean,
- 5:34the whole journey in itself is kind of the way your business grows. You know?
- 5:38It doesn't grow linearly. It goes kind of you you know, you get you
- 5:42make some headway, then you kinda go back, then you make a little bit more,
- 5:45then you stay where you are. So but getting seen, I think, is probably
- 5:49one of the best ways. So tell us how you got
- 5:52from that limiting belief and, you know,
- 5:56became visible. How did that translate into doing books?
- 6:00So I actually published my first best selling book in 02/2009, and it was
- 6:04my own. And that's when I found out that having a best selling
- 6:07book is absolutely fire in marketing. And so I turned to all my
- 6:11clients who I, you know, business development online for. And I'm like,
- 6:15do you have a book? We need to make it a bestseller. Do you have
- 6:17a book? We need to make it a bestseller. And they all said the same
- 6:20thing. Well, I've been meaning to. I haven't gotten around to it yet.
- 6:24So I used whatever means necessary, blog posts,
- 6:28interviews, keynote speeches to get content from
- 6:31them to publish into a book and make it a best seller
- 6:35to use for their marketing. Now I started
- 6:39doing books, adding books to my arsenal in,
- 6:4202/2009. But in 2015, in coaching with
- 6:46Lisa, she's like, you're doing too much. I was burnt out. I was doing it
- 6:50all. I was building businesses for people and using their
- 6:54book to leverage it for marketing and driving traffic. And she's
- 6:57like, the number one most impactful thing they can do in their business is the
- 7:01book. You need to help people get their books done. So in
- 7:042015, I went to just doing books alone, and that's
- 7:08when I did a 56 books and best selling books in one
- 7:12year. Just started reaching more people,
- 7:16and things just took off like crazy. It was easier for me
- 7:20to manage, and, I had more time doing the
- 7:24parts of my business that I love, you know, helping authors and
- 7:27making best sellers. And, it was just it was a
- 7:31phenomenal change spending that time with Lisa. She could
- 7:34see because she was at a farther level ahead of me. She
- 7:38could see for me what I couldn't see. And she's like, if you
- 7:42just do this, this, and this. And I did, and
- 7:45my business increased by a % in one year. So I have to say you
- 7:49hit on really what I've built been building my business
- 7:53around. One is you've got you've got
- 7:56most of the skill. You've got the expertise, so you don't need to be
- 8:00fixed. If your clients actually like you when you have a client,
- 8:04client delivery is not your issue. Client attraction is. You're
- 8:07doing too much. If you focus on one thing, they can find
- 8:11you easier. You're easier to find, and it
- 8:15can be much more profitable and lot less time
- 8:18consuming, when you're focusing on one thing. It is
- 8:22probably the most the biggest productivity tool that I can think
- 8:26of. You know, what do I what is it that I love to do that
- 8:29I would do for nothing, you know, if I could? Let
- 8:33me find the niche where I can actually get paid to do what I love.
- 8:37Mhmm. Mhmm. And so for you, you know, what I see
- 8:41is, you know, the the helping the
- 8:45area that you like working in is with coaches. The
- 8:48expertise, the overlap is where you get them to write their
- 8:52best selling book. Mhmm. Yep. Right? Give them the expertise that they
- 8:56don't have so they can get their message out. And that that is the perfect
- 9:00it seems to me, the perfect way to run a business. Yes. Because you're not
- 9:03you're not well, I should say to you, what is the
- 9:07benefit of of of running your business this way?
- 9:11Well, I'm not burnt out. That was a big one
- 9:15at the time that, I started working with Lisa. It was
- 9:18like, I felt like, I
- 9:22wasn't making the money I should be making for
- 9:26as exhausted as I was. And trying to do
- 9:30marketing and get new clients was difficult because I did so
- 9:33many things that it was difficult to explain what I did.
- 9:37Online business development. It's essentially the whole business.
- 9:40It's the website, the sales funnel, the CRM,
- 9:44the marketing, the driving traffic, the best
- 9:47selling book to use as a tool to do all that. And to explain that
- 9:51to anyone, they're just, like, instantly overwhelmed.
- 9:55So horrible marketing.
- 9:59And like you said, like, if you just have that one thing
- 10:03that one thing is made everything in my work life
- 10:07so much easier, and I I'm not burned out. And I just enjoy it,
- 10:11and it's my favorite thing. Right. And when you you know, I
- 10:14always say when you do your favorite thing and you do it with the right
- 10:17client, your client gets so much more from you because you
- 10:21can't help yourself. Yeah. You know, you're enjoying it so much that you give them
- 10:25everything. You know? You get the best of what you've got.
- 10:29So let me ask you this. I think many
- 10:32people have never thought about doing a book for
- 10:36a lot of reasons. One is, obviously, I'm not ready
- 10:40yet. Right? Two is, what would I talk
- 10:44about? Three is,
- 10:48I don't know how to do this. And and I'm sure you've got a
- 10:51list of other things. So help me debunk
- 10:55some of those, please. Absolutely. So the first one that you mentioned
- 10:59was, not right now. I don't have
- 11:03time They kinda put it off. Right? But the truth is is that
- 11:07it's very it can be very simple to get your book
- 11:10done. And every day that passes that you don't have
- 11:13book is a missed opportunity and money.
- 11:17Because if you want to stand out in the crowd and be seen as an
- 11:20expert, the quickest, easiest way to do that is have a best
- 11:24selling book. Like Seth Godin once said, I'd rather
- 11:28hire a plumber who wrote the book on it than just a regular plumber.
- 11:32That's true for real estate. It's true for coaches.
- 11:35It's true for anyone in an industry if they want to stand
- 11:39out. And it has now become a
- 11:42minimum standard for some stages in podcasts. They don't
- 11:46accept anything less than a best selling author. Because
- 11:50them having experts on makes them look
- 11:53good, and they can charge more for their admission for events and things
- 11:57like that. So many of them, it's become a minimum
- 12:01standard at that level where you wanna be seen as an
- 12:04expert. Not to mention, it's a no brainer to take your
- 12:08book, turn into an online course based on your
- 12:11best selling book. I mean, you've done the heavy lift once the once the book
- 12:15is done. So the I don't know how to do it
- 12:19is easier than ever because I have a formula
- 12:22to actually pull the book out of you, and we can
- 12:26even leverage AI to interview you. So if you don't
- 12:30love the art of creative writing or if English isn't your first
- 12:33language, you can actually speak your
- 12:36stories and all of your experiences and all of your teachings
- 12:40and answer the questions in a format of a table of
- 12:44contents for your book. And AI will type it faster
- 12:47than any assistant ever could. So we've come a
- 12:51long way with that. And the what to do, what to write
- 12:55a book about is simply, what do you wanna be known for for the next
- 12:59six months to a year? What do you want to be seen as an expert
- 13:02in? Because you can pivot after that. It doesn't have to
- 13:06be everything, you know, it just has to be that
- 13:10thing you want to be known for for the next six months to a year.
- 13:13It's the beginning of the conversation. It leads them
- 13:17to you. It leads them to something. It's the next
- 13:20step. Because it used to be, like, back
- 13:24in the eighties and before, you know, when we didn't really have
- 13:28access to the Internet, we didn't have access to people so easily.
- 13:32You know, you had to put everything in the book, and then we didn't
- 13:36have access to those authors. The game has
- 13:39changed. It is much different now. People are consuming books more than ever,
- 13:43but they like short reads. It's the beginning of the
- 13:46conversation. And if they really like you, they're going to come connect
- 13:50with you. So that's the whole point is to be seen as an
- 13:54expert and have them come connect with you. And it's it
- 13:58really is the best return on investment. Great for
- 14:01marketing. Turn it into an online course. I help my clients
- 14:05generate a hundred thousand dollars in their first year using their
- 14:08book and then turn it into an online course and then a
- 14:12sales funnel. So So I
- 14:15think one of the one of the myths or one of the misconceptions
- 14:20even though you're writing a book and you want it to be a best seller,
- 14:23you're not writing a book.
- 14:28I don't know how to say this. Okay. So a fiction author
- 14:32Mhmm. Writes a book to generate income and royalties,
- 14:35and and the and the the book is the profit
- 14:40generating thing. We're not writing a
- 14:44book for that purpose. That is not the main purpose of the book.
- 14:48Am I correct? You're right. That's absolutely correct. So,
- 14:52I mean, you absolutely will make, book royalties and
- 14:55things like that, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to what you can
- 14:58leverage the book to do. It's so
- 15:02much easier, in my opinion, with nonfiction books, and my
- 15:05specialty is coaches. So helping people grow their
- 15:09online business, like, be able to speak on stage, have books
- 15:13in the back of the room, and then have them go and enroll in your
- 15:16course. It's it's just a it's a three part no
- 15:19brainer. So if you look
- 15:23at people like Lisa Nichols, Susie Carter, people who have
- 15:27multiple books and are best selling authors and quite famous
- 15:30their books, they'll, they'll tell you that their business comes from leveraging
- 15:34their books, but it's only about 1% of their income
- 15:39because they leverage those books and the fact that they're a best selling author,
- 15:43but it's really the speaking and coaching that
- 15:46makes the most amount of money. Okay. So let me ask you this. I mean,
- 15:50I know there are lots of lots of, things around
- 15:54where you can do a compilation book. Mhmm. What are the pros
- 15:58and cons of that?
- 16:02The biggest pros for doing a a compilation book
- 16:05is you don't have to go it alone. The burden
- 16:09isn't completely on you. So if you're timid about getting your message out
- 16:13there or anything like that, it's a much
- 16:16shorter contribution.
- 16:20And you are a best selling author, so you
- 16:24can leverage that. It is better
- 16:28if you have your own book as an expert.
- 16:32If you're a little timid and you're just getting started,
- 16:36being a part of a compilation book is okay. But ultimately you're
- 16:40going to want your own book. And depending
- 16:44on if you do it yourself, because I have a course where I teach you
- 16:47how to do everything and I guide you through it, or if
- 16:50you, you know, hire me or someone else to do it for
- 16:54you, makes a big difference. When you're looking at doing it
- 16:58yourself, it's really about the same cost as doing a
- 17:01compilation. Well, let I'll tell you my
- 17:05compilation nightmare. Oh, no.
- 17:09Which which happened a really long time ago, and many, many things
- 17:12have changed since then. You know, I agreed to do this
- 17:16compilation book, and it was called something like extraordinary business successes
- 17:20or something like that. Mhmm. And, we had a year to get
- 17:24our chapter together. And, of course, like, one month before it was due, I was
- 17:27still struggling with what I was gonna write because, at that
- 17:31time, my purpose was to make it my lasting
- 17:34work. Right? So, of course, that's enough to freeze you in
- 17:38your you know? Right. So I finally came up with something that I really
- 17:41liked. But because it was, like, kind of a late I mean, I got it
- 17:45in on time, but the way that it showed up in the book was
- 17:49really awful, you know, because I had a chart in there and it didn't
- 17:52come formatted correctly. So I was actually embarrassed to show
- 17:56anybody the book because it it wasn't really up
- 18:00to my standards. And I had 3,000 of them. I
- 18:04don't know. I still have
- 18:072,900 and probably 49 Mhmm.
- 18:11That are holding up my printer. But, anyway, so that was
- 18:14the first thing. I then used that when I spoke to talk about
- 18:19you can make mistakes. You can use your mistakes to show people
- 18:22how you grow and how they can grow. So I I did bring it
- 18:26in because it was available and stuff like that. Then I
- 18:30decided that, okay, Few years later, I've got all these
- 18:34books, and I'm like, what if we I you know, I reached out to
- 18:37everybody in the book to see whether or not what they were doing
- 18:41and possibly us all put a push in to sell these books.
- 18:45Right? And to my great dismay, I think there
- 18:48was only out of the 10 people in the book, I think there were only,
- 18:52like, three of us that were still in business, which is really
- 18:55horrible if you're saying that you're an extraordinary business. So that was the end of
- 18:59that. So I would I would agree with you that
- 19:03I think you have a lot more control, and it it is more
- 19:07you. And you can do it the way you want it.
- 19:10Goofy or not, you can, you know, you can put as much humor in it.
- 19:14You can do, you know, what what shines a light
- 19:18on what your unique power is
- 19:21if you do your own book. So having had that experience, that
- 19:25was the realization that I came to.
- 19:30So tell me, I'm an entrepreneur.
- 19:34I may be in my second year of business, you know, and I'm
- 19:38still trying to figure out who my client is, the ideal client. I call it
- 19:41the right client. Tell me what I should think
- 19:45about if I'm thinking if if I'm looking at, should I do a
- 19:49book? What are the questions I should ask myself or contact you
- 19:52and ask you? Yeah. So
- 19:56I love this because it's most ideal if
- 20:00people write the book when they're beginning in business, because
- 20:03everything can come from that. It gives you
- 20:07your identity. It gives you your branding. It gives
- 20:11you your marketing for a year. You can repurpose the marketing over
- 20:15and over again. It gives you your online course to make money from.
- 20:19It gives you your credibility instantly. I had a doctor,
- 20:22doctor Ali Griffith, who said, the credentials of being a best selling
- 20:26author did more for me than the credentials of being a doctor ever did.
- 20:30So it's that credibility from the get go. Like,
- 20:33especially if you're transitioning from I've had fifteen, twenty
- 20:37years in a a job where I'm the boss.
- 20:41Like, I I run this place. I know what I'm doing. And then
- 20:44now you wanna get into coaching, and you really do have
- 20:48an expertise, but you're new to this online platform world.
- 20:52This is an easy way to do it is having that book.
- 20:56And when working with me, because I have that in mind,
- 21:00most people, when they look at a book, it's like, oh, I just wanna have
- 21:02a book. And that's the end of the conversation. For me, I'm looking
- 21:06at three things that we need to be able to answer before you
- 21:10start your book. Who is your ideal client?
- 21:14What result do you want them to get from the book? And what do you
- 21:17wanna leverage the book to do? And often, we
- 21:20really need to start with what do you wanna leverage the book to do? Because
- 21:23if you want to leverage the book to turn into an online course
- 21:28and generate money and speak on stages,
- 21:31then we need to figure out who is your ideal
- 21:35person in that course. So then that becomes the ideal client that you're
- 21:39speaking to. Now if you know that they're gonna go into the course, we
- 21:42need to have the result of the book be to get them to move
- 21:46just enough to wanna get into that course, to give
- 21:50them just a needle point move that says, yes. I
- 21:54need more of her. I need more of this. It's the
- 21:57introduction. It's the I see possibility. I
- 22:01have hope. I'm enjoying what's next. So if we
- 22:05have that in mind because different people have different goals. I've I've
- 22:08helped people excel in incorporation and things like
- 22:12that as well. But mostly I work with with coaches
- 22:16who are either in the midst of growing their business and need
- 22:19this credibility and stability, or they're just for starting
- 22:23out and they need the credibility and stability. But when
- 22:27you have those three things in mind, it's easy to come up with a
- 22:30table of contents. And once you have the table of contents, you really just
- 22:34go in and fill in the blank. I have to tell you that,
- 22:38first of all, you you've broken a myth for me,
- 22:42you know, which was I'm not the I'm not ready because I really thought it
- 22:46was you know, you've been in business for a little bit, and you're telling me
- 22:49that it's better to do the the beginning, which I understand.
- 22:53You're also kinda reverse engineering the process. And one of the things that I say
- 22:57to people all the time is, you know, you get
- 23:01stuck on who my ideal client
- 23:04is. Right? And
- 23:09sometimes that's where people stay. It's like, you know, they keep
- 23:12throwing spaghetti on the wall trying to figure out that thing. But if you know
- 23:16what you're gonna use the book for, you know the kind of results that they're
- 23:19gonna get, you're basically reverse engineering and, you
- 23:22know, going back to who that right client is, which is what I teach in
- 23:26my course. You know, start with the ones you've had that you've
- 23:30enjoyed working with. What is it what is it that they
- 23:34expected to get from you? What is it that they got that they didn't expect?
- 23:37That's your unique power, what they didn't expect that delighted
- 23:41them. You have really made me think about this in a totally different
- 23:45way. I hope those of you who are listening to that will
- 23:49will take that into mind, that a book is
- 23:52not just something that goes on your shelf. It's really an inter a much
- 23:56deeper introduction to you. Right? And
- 24:00the I like the way that you've got the strategy that that's gonna help you,
- 24:03you know, get on stages. That's gonna help you to build a course,
- 24:08that kind of thing so that the system and stuff is there.
- 24:12And with the foundation in place, then you can you you're free to be
- 24:16yourself and really, you know, touch on the things that are
- 24:20that are near and dear to you. Okay. So before we run out of
- 24:23time, because you and I could probably go much deeper
- 24:27into any one of those three steps that you laid out. So so
- 24:31so the thing that I would say to people is the three questions that that
- 24:34Kathy gave you, you need to ask about everything that you're doing in
- 24:38marketing, marketing, not just the book, but everything. I mean, this is
- 24:42this is one of those things that is an all
- 24:45purpose set of three questions, I think.
- 24:49Right. That's how And that's that's absolutely key because
- 24:53when you can answer those and and I go into this, like, we have worksheets.
- 24:57They get time with me. Like, I have to go into this with them because
- 25:00they need to be clear on this. And once they are, you can answer
- 25:04everything else. What story to share, how to share it, and
- 25:08then being able to leverage the book because so many people will write the book
- 25:11and go, oh, I wish I woulda. But if you know what you're gonna be
- 25:15doing with it and we plan for that, it's like a beacon
- 25:19for your ideal client to come to you. And it is
- 25:23the thing that makes you stand out in the crowd as the expert, and
- 25:27it's easy to then monetize as, of course,
- 25:31based on your best selling book. And I think the
- 25:34other thing is once you do the first one, the first one doesn't
- 25:38doesn't necessarily have to be where you are. I think it's people may
- 25:42have missed the part where you said it it only has to be what you're
- 25:45doing for the next six months to a year. Yes. And so if
- 25:49you if you you know? So that makes the second book so much easier, you
- 25:53know, as you start I mean, we all change our focus in our business.
- 25:56You know? We either we're niching down or we're doing something
- 26:00else. So the first book doesn't have to be the book
- 26:04that will last you your entire lifetime. I I often say we're moving at
- 26:08a at a at a at a we're shooting at a moving target. And if
- 26:12you wait until you get it perfect for when you first
- 26:16started thinking about something Mhmm. And it takes you five years
- 26:19to get it out, it is no longer perfect Mhmm. Because everything
- 26:23else has changed. And so I I think that's that's one
- 26:27of the things I think that paralyzes us and and keeps us from having
- 26:31success. Do you know? I tell my students
- 26:34better done than none. Yes. Yes. And they only have ninety
- 26:38days. We get our books done in ninety days because every day that passes is
- 26:42a day of lost revenue. Okay.
- 26:46Alright. So here's here's the here's the here's the the question. When
- 26:49was the last time you did something new for the first time?
- 26:58I wish it was more exciting than this. I mean, it's pretty exciting to me,
- 27:02but not as exciting as, like, skydiving or something. But last month,
- 27:06I went to a, music bingo night at
- 27:09a local pub, and it just sounded it sounded so
- 27:13cheesy, but it ended up being a ton of fun. You get your
- 27:17bingo cards and they play music, and then you have to find the
- 27:20the song on on your bingo card before it changes. And it was just a
- 27:24fun night out. So Fun is a good thing to have whenever
- 27:28it happens. So Yes. You know, it just the
- 27:31idea I think be doing new things keeps you fresh and keeps you
- 27:35relevant Yeah. And interesting. So,
- 27:39unfortunately, our time is up. And so I just I
- 27:43wanna say to everybody who's here, make sure
- 27:47that, please, that you subscribe and share this and
- 27:50engage on social media. The reason I did this is
- 27:54it was a way for me to kinda give back to community,
- 27:58and to help you to have a community that you go go
- 28:02to fuel your, you know, your quest for impact and
- 28:05growth and have a chance to experience a lot of different experts,
- 28:09that you might not normally come across. And so I hope you will
- 28:13join me for the one small change on a regular basis as you go through
- 28:17your entrepreneurial journey and see how the tiny shifts can
- 28:20yield, you know, monumental transformations. And if you haven't listened
- 28:24to the first episode, go back and see why I started it,
- 28:28and I probably should listen to it again and see see how it's
- 28:32changed. But but, I've
- 28:35enjoyed having you here. Kathy, I've enjoyed so much talking to
- 28:39you. You really made me think about things in a different way.
- 28:43So what would be your last word? You said a wonderful quote before.
- 28:48Do you have another one or give us that one again?
- 28:52I have many quotes, but I would say someone is waiting on you.
- 28:57Someone is waiting on your message. And in the
- 29:00absence of water, people will drink the sand. So they're
- 29:04going to find a solution, and it really should have been you.
- 29:08So get your dang book done, stand out in the crowd,
- 29:12and make real money with your book.
- 29:17Those are words to live by. So that is wonderful.
- 29:21This this has really got my wheels turning a little bit. So, guys,
- 29:25this is the end of our episode for today. But remember,
- 29:28change may seem simple, but it's not always easy. But if you were to do
- 29:32a book with Kathy, it would be easy. It requires
- 29:36some courage, some resilience, and a and a willingness to step out of
- 29:39your comfort zone. So continue to join me for the one small
- 29:43change as we keep embarking on our journey.
- 29:47I hope your vision is getting bolder. I hope you're coming up with innovative
- 29:51possibilities. And until the next time, stay curious.
- 29:54Kathy, thank you so much.
