Author Reset: What to Stop, Start, and Simplify This Year to Get Real Results

January doesn’t expose a lack of motivation. You are motivated.

What January does expose is a lack of clarity.

So this episode is your Author Reset: a practical reset of direction — not “starting over,” not reinventing your life — just getting aligned on what actually moves the needle as an author.

If last year felt like you drifted…
If you stopped doing what worked…
If your book launched strong but didn’t keep momentum…
This is the reset you need.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

What to STOP
✅ Stop chasing visibility without a path (podcasts/social/PR with no clear next step is just noise)
✅ Stop treating your book like a trophy (a book on a shelf doesn’t change your business)
✅ Stop chasing shiny objects (courses, half-built funnels, “almost” campaigns)
✅ Stop measuring the wrong things (Amazon rank, likes, follower count — instead measure what leads to conversations and clients)

What to START
✅ Use your book as a door-opener consistently (speaking, PR, referrals, outreach)
✅ Anchor everything to one clear core offer (high ticket, crystal clear, no confusion)
✅ Build one simple sales path: Book → Conversation → Client
✅ Create a weekly (or daily) book activation habit so momentum is predictable, not accidental

What to SIMPLIFY
✅ Simplify your message: who it’s for, what problem it solves, what happens next
✅ Simplify your marketing: pick ONE channel and go deep (give it 90 days minimum)
✅ Simplify your goals: clear, trackable, non-vague targets that force action

If your book had to produce real results in the next 90 days, you don’t need more information.

You need alignment, a decision, and consistency.

Let’s reset your direction and get your book back in motion.
