Whenever you're feeling stuck, peruse Melissa's thoughtfully compiled tips and exercises and you'll be creating magic in no time.” – Suzy Batiz, Chief Executive and Visionary Officer, ~Pourri, The Makers of Poo~Pourri, supernatural, Alive OS®   “Melissa's words are authentic and important. She is a great listener and now shares reality-based strategies for imagining your own imperfect, fulfilling life.” – Martha Hennessey, Former New Hampshire State Senator / House of Representative   “This is the book for a mom who wants a second jet engine to embark on her own journey from thinking she will have to wait another lifetime to dream big to knowing she can take steps right now to uncover and do what she would find more fulfilling at this life stage. Melissa writes both intimately and conversationally about topics that many moms around the world can relate to (some dads too). She invites the reader into a personal and deep journey about topics that are crucially important to uncover what would make a mom truly happy to work on...even after the kids are in bed. It was an honor and a pleasure to speak with her for an interview, which she has included excerpts of in this book, too!” - Ken Honda, Japan's bestselling zen millionaire, author of Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money Moms like us with big dreams and school-age kids: For moms like me, the pandemic was an opportunity to re-evaluate and course-correct things in our lives we weren't thrilled with. Coming out of this period, sluggish yet motivated, so many of us can use this book to help us wake up! If you're looking to refresh, reenergize, and yes, reimagine a better version of your life, this book is for you. I loved the hilarious, yet poignant stories about motherhood today and the window into the world of those who've gone for it – and did it. - Macollvie Neel, Brooklyn, NY “The words: imagination, play and fun are not the usual things we as mothers think of when wondering how to get a grip back on our career and I believe it provides a really fresh take and lots of food for thought for mothers reading it. Its tone is so energetic and fresh!” – Alejandra Molina, Coach, Miami, Florida “Melissa is a mom of three with big dreams who tells it like it is. She draws on her own experiences and the experiences of professionals she's interviewed for her podcast to reflect on the plight of the mother. How do women conform to or challenge the traditional “mom script”? If you're a mom, what can you do to break the “cultural glass ceiling” to be yourself and a great parent, all without having to force yourself into a mom mold that doesn't fit you? Melissa is like a great friend, honest and wise and funny, telling you about her life and asking you to reflect on yours. This book is a great purchase for moms in every stage of life.” – Maureen Turner Carey, Librarian, Austin, Texas “In her book, Melissa shows us that motherhood does not have to be a pause or an end to your pre-child self. With guidance from her podcast guests, she encourages us to think big, find what lights us up, think big, and move towards our goals with the steps that fit the reality of our lives as they are today. In doing so we honor and inspire our child(ren), and our own inner child.” – Katherine Dzierzynski, Museum Group Sales, Forest Hills, NY

Have you ever thought about writing a book to codify what your business does, and what it stands for?  And once you do, how long should you work to promote that book after it hits the shelves? To discuss these questions and more, I've invited Becky Robinson to join me for this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership. Becky is the Founder and CEO of Weaving Influence where she works with business book authors to build their platform and grow the reach of their work. Additionally, Becky has become her own client having authored Reach: Create the Biggest Possible Audience for Your Message, Book or Cause. Our conversation begins with the difficult topic of measuring the ROI of a business book. Becky shares how that equation held her back from starting a book - until the pandemic hit.  With some extra time, she started the journey, seeking to have her book launch coincide with the ten year anniversary of her business. Launching a book and running a company that specializes in the book publishing field gave Becky aunique perspective. Becky discusses some of the methods she used to get her book into the world, including pushing for100 Amazon reviews in the first month. To accomplish this, she sent 400 physical copies of the book to friends, colleagues, and anyone who would get value from it. She explains how a physical copy with a personalized note and signature has a far higher return than simply emailing a PDF. The journey of writing the book forced some additional clarity around the content Becky has used for years. She explains how she developed the four commitments, and defined the concept of "reach" in thought leadership publishing. In addition, she shares the importance of defining various terms, and the iterations authors go through in determining title and subtitle before landing on a final version. If you're planning to write a book, have a book coming out, or are out there supporting one - this episode is trove of advice that can help you reach your widest audience! Three Key Takeaways: * Online reviews are important for new books. They provide social "proof" of your insights and help create * Your book can't be for everyone.  You'll need to focus on the people that need your book right now. * Don't view book marketing as a project with an end date. It is a life-long commitment.

Building an online presence can feel “salesy” at times.. But Weaving Influence CEO and author Becky Robinson strives to flip the script toward social media marketing. It doesn't have to feel like you're pedaling a product. Instead, treat it as an act of service to the world. Tune in to this new episode of The Conscious Marketer podcast — Expanding Your Reach: How to drive social media momentum for your message, book, or cause with Becky Robinson. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Becky Robinson shares her blog's humble beginnings. Even then, she aimed to help authors create influence in the world through their ideas. ✔️ The attitude of the author can affect sales. The product value isn't everything. Becky Robinson also explains the significance of authors building online connections in getting their desired results. ✔️ The publisher doesn't do the marketing. Authors tend to juggle promoting their products while doing final edits. Get preparations done before signing the contract so you can focus on your campaigns. ✔️ A large permission-based email list is a metric for success. If people are willing to let you in their inbox, that means they're interested in your work. Form connections with those who align with your content, and drop valuable messages regularly. ✔️ The commitment to online marketing creates the biggest possible impact. Be active on social media for a wider reach.  ✔️ Becky Robinson compares social media marketing to planting trees. You may not be the one who enjoys the fruit of your creation. But do it in faith that it could make a difference to a generation beyond your lifetime. ✔️ Building an online presence needs time and patience. Create a marketing strategy that brings you joy and is sustainable. A good place to start is to write a meaningful post every two weeks. ✔️ Break through the noise by being yourself. Amplify your purpose, and stand out from the crowd. Also, draw in your true audience by identifying your core topics and staying consistent.  Becky Robinson is the founder and CEO of Weaving Influence, a full-service marketing agency that specializes in digital and integrated marketing services and public relations for authors, business leaders, coaches, trainers, speakers, and thought leaders.   She has helped clients launch more than 150 books, enabling authors to build their brands, acquire more business customers, and increase book sales.  She is also the author of Reach: Create the Biggest Possible Audience for Your Message, Book, or Cause, which shares how to create the biggest possible audience for an idea, book, business, or cause.  https://weavinginfluence.com ———————————————————————————————— The Conscious Business Movement is all about building a community of conscious leaders, creators, and entrepreneurs.    CONNECT WITH US Join Richard and Kyle in their Facebook group so you can learn how to use conscious marketing in your business.   The Marketers Path Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/themarketerspath   Website: https://consciousmarketer.com/   SUBSCRIBE TO THE CONSCIOUS MARKETERS PODCAST New Episodes Released Every Thursday

Because today's Earth Day, and because World Penguin Day is coming up on April 25, we wanted to release this very special episode to give you a glimpse into Charles Bergman and Susan Mann's author journey, and to make you aware of this important cause of conserving penguins in their natural habitats. Charles and his wife, Susan Mann, took an amazing journey all around the world—to see every species of penguin and photograph them—and then wrote this incredible book, Every Penguin in the World: A Quest to See Them All. We want to let you know that this is the first of several podcasts that we're recording as Becky preps to publish her book Reach: Create the Biggest Possible Audience for your Message, Book, or Cause, coming in April 2022. Becky's been interviewing different authors and thought leaders as she writes the book. This interview that you're about to listen to is a little bit different, but it does still focus on ideas and tricks that you can apply in marketing your own book.  https://bit.ly/3amaox0 (Click here) for our show notes.
