So go first. Your big idea is sitting in a Google Doc with no name. Here's how to start taking it seriously this week, before anyone else has seen it.
If you need to get in touch with me, email erica@jagoyoga.com.
I’ve been chewing on one line all week.
It came from a Neville Goddard teaching. People can only see in you what you have already seen in yourself.
It would not leave me alone. Because I’ve watched it play out for twenty-five years from my side of the desk.
When someone hires me to design their book, I’m never the first person who believed in it. THEY ARE. They decided it deserved a name and a cover before they ever called me. My job just makes that decision visible.
Now let’s look at yours.
Your big idea has been in your notes app since March. Or it’s in a Canva file called Untitled Design 47. And you’re waiting for someone to buy it, so you can finally make it look nice.
I get it. I really do. But it works the other way around.
You’re waiting for someone to tell you it’s good. They’re waiting for you to act like it is.
When I raised $60,000 in thirty days for my first book, there was no publisher and NO one saying : you are allowed. I had to treat that book like it mattered before a single person paid for it. Then I did it again with the second one.
Somebody has to go first. It has to be you.
So hit reply and tell me. What are you making right now that you’re still treating like a draft? With your okay, I’ll share a few next Sunday (no names) so we can all see we’re in this together.
POLL: What’s holding your first offering back the most?
- I haven’t named it yet
- I have no idea how it should look
- I don’t think it’s ready
- I don’t have one yet, only ideas
THIS SUNDAY
The three things I’d do first to make your offering look like it matters, all in one sitting. What a 17-page Google Doc taught me about how people decide what your work is worth. And the menu I opened this week, if you want me beside you while you do it.
