Mike's Always Right: Adventures in the World of Creative Writing, Self Publishing and Marketing Fiction & Nonfiction Books

I've decided to apply my newly developed audio production skills to kick things up a notch. And with great power comes great responsibility. This episode is all about making your podcast intro shine.

Following a nearly four-month hiatus, Mike explains what he's been up to in this short podcast episode.

What is the best way to approach writing your first novel? Should you follow advice from great writers like Ray Bradbury, Stephen King or J.K. Rowling? Or should you do something different? Does it help to buy books and courses? Let's find out.

In this episode, Mike talks about the key to planning and predicting your future. How many times have you known in your gut that you should do something? Years go by and you realize you could have been ahead of everyone else if you’d just listened to your intuition. (Note: I’m probably going to follow my own advice and take a hiatus from Mike’s Always Right. Audio and video is a PIECE of my vision for the future, but it’s taking me away from bigger things. Ultimately, I believe my future depends more heavily on writing than other types of content.)

What's your "Inner Garage" and where can you find it? Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos and Marc Maron found theirs. In this episode, Mike talks about you can push yourself to be more creative using concepts from Robert Cialdini's book "Pre-Suasion."

In Episode 9, I talk about how to set big, audacious goals for my New Year's Resolutions. I also talk about my philosophy for setting goals, and where I envision Mike's Always Right going in 2018.
