⭐ Why Your First Draft Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect — It Just Has to Be Started

The first draft is not supposed to be beautiful.
It’s supposed to be honest. Raw. Full of redemption, hope, and inspiration.

Write messy.

Write freely.

Write without judgment.

Editing comes later.

Traditional publishing teaches perfection.

Self-publishing teaches Purpose.

If perfectionism is stopping you, remember:

You can’t edit a blank page.

But you can turn a messy page into a masterpiece.

So for goodness sake, START!

In my course, I teach you exactly how to draft, revise, and polish your book step-by-step. STAY TUNED. MY DIY SELF- PUBLISHING COURSE WILL BE OUT 12/19/2025‼️

⭐ Who Self-Publishing Is Really For: The People With Stories That Need to Be Told

Most people think self-publishing is only for “writers.”

But the truth?

Self-publishing is for story carriers — people who have lived through something, learned something, survived something, or built something… and now feel called to share it.

Self-publishing is for:

• The SURVIVOR who knows their testimony could help someone heal

• The SCHOOL OF THE HARD KNOCKS who has wisdom their younger self needed

• The LEADER with lessons that could shift someone’s mindset

• The SILENCED who finally found their voice

• The AVERAGE with an extraordinary journey

• The PERSON who says, “I don’t even know where to start, but I know it’s time”

I always teach Self-publishing isn’t about perfection.

It’s about PURPOSE.

Your story doesn’t need to fit a trend.

It doesn’t need to sound like anyone else’s.

It doesn’t need to be polished into something it’s not.

Let your story breathe. After all you’ve been holding your breath long enough. Someone’s got to be free.

Self-publishing gives YOU the freedom and the final say.

If something in you keeps whispering “I need to write this…” — that’s who self-publishing is for.

My DIY course gives you the clarity, structure, and steps to turn that calling into a real published book. STAY TUNED!!! IT WILL BE AVAILABLE 12/19/25‼️

⭐ Why Waiting for a Traditional Deal Is Holding Back Your Legacy

Don't let Corporate blow out your candles.

Waiting for a traditional book deal can deflate you and rob you of your hope.

I remember sending my book to hundreds of publishers. Almost every single one of them turned me down. Except 1. I cried that day. It was one of the biggest and most prominent publishers of all. I could not have been more excited.

But…

They blew out my candles. By the time they told me all things they needed me to change, I no longer recognized my story. I had to turn them down.

Your story — the very thing that could help someone today — gets stuck in a system designed to prioritize profit over purpose. Therefore marketability becomes bigger than your message.

Your legacy shouldn’t put shoved in a neat box.

Your healing shouldn’t sit behind an editor’s desk.

Your purpose shouldn’t depend on the mood of a literary agent.

If your goal is to leave a legacy…

self-publishing is the route that honors the urgency of your message.

Legacy is created by action.

By stepping out.

By sharing your whole story, the one someone needs to be inspired — not after an industry finally decides it’s “marketable.”

If you’ve ever felt the pull that says,

“Now is the time,”

but you weren’t sure how...

my DIY course will show you how to start building that legacy today. STAY TUNED. MY DIY SELF- PUBLISHING COURSE WILL BE AVAILABLE 12/19/2025‼️

⭐ The Real Reason Most People Never Become Authors (And How Self-Publishing Fixes It)

After people find out I am an author they usually confide in me that they too want to write a book. And most if not all follow it up with, “… someday.”

But someday is perfume for fear.

Fear of not being good enough.

Fear of judgment.

Fear of the writing process.

Fear of the publishing industry.

Fear of doing it wrong.

And…

One of my fears… Not being received well.

And traditional publishing on exacerbates that fear.

It makes becoming an author seem exclusive, complicated, and almost impossible unless a gatekeeper approves you. (I have to share my story with you one day.)

But have no fear, this ain’t that. Self-publishing actually does the opposite.

It puts the power back in your hands.

You don’t need to:

✘ Be famous

✘ Have a huge following

✘ Know someone in the industry

✘ Master every writing skill

✘ Or wait for permission to tell your own story

I’ll say that again: You do not need permission from anyone to tell your own story.

The biggest myth is that you need someone else to choose you.

But you don’t.

Self-publishing removes the barrier.

And once people realize they can publish — they actually do.

My DIY course exists because I don’t believe anyone should be blocked from becoming an author, especially not someone with a message meant to heal, inspire, or guide.

If “someday” is the reason you haven’t started, this course will give you clarity, direction, and confidence from day one. STAY TUNED. MY DIY SELF- PUBLISHING COURSE WILL BE AVAILABLE 12/19/2025‼️

⭐ The Power of Owning Your Words: Let your voice ROAR!
There is nothing more personal than your story.
Your experiences.
Your voice.
Your truth.
But traditional publishing often reshapes that truth.
They change your title.
They change your tone.
They change your story to “fit the market.”
Sometimes they even change your message.
They tried to do it to me!
When you self-publish, your words stay yours.
Your testimony stays whole.
Your journey stays intact.
Creative freedom is not just about making artistic decisions — it’s about preserving the meaning behind your story.
Who wants to have their voice silenced yet again? Didn’t the adversary try to shut you up when you went through what you went through. Are you gonna let corporate do the same?
When you self-publish:

✔️ You control your cover

✔️ You keep your original voice

✔️ You decide what parts of your testimony stay in

✔️ You choose how raw, real, and vulnerable you want to be

✔️ You publish the story YOU intended to share
Traditional publishing requires you to change your message to make it more “marketable.”
But life stories, healing stories, redemption stories — these are not supposed to be polished into something they’re not.
Self-publishing gives you full ownership: emotionally, creatively, and financially.
If the thought of losing control of your story makes you uneasy, then self-publishing is the path that preserves your voice.
If you want someone to walk you through exactly how to publish your own book, my DIY course gives you every step, template, and tool. STAY TUNED!!! IT WILL BE AVAILABLE 12/19/25‼️
