Send us a textWho controls your time? Even if we’re writing or running our own business full-time, we can still find ourselves overworked or chasing the wrong goals. Richie Norton thinks in such a different way that when you read his books it opens your mind to recalibrate what you thought you knew.After several tragedies—such as him losing a son and a brother-in-law, his wife having a stroke, and losing her memory—Richie realized that the normal signs of success such as hard work, productivity, work-life balance, and time management weren’t what actually mattered in his life. He wanted true freedom to prioritize what really mattered in his life such as time with his family.In this episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk with Richie about his latest book, “Anti-Time Management: Reclaim Your Time and Revolutionize Your Results with the Power of Time Tipping,” why it is timeless, and why asking yourself great questions can lead to success rather than focusing on habits or productivity.Check out the show notes here: https://authorswholead.com/2022/08/04/episode215/Want to become a published author?

Send us a textJohn Miller began his career selling leadership training to managers, executives, and leaders. He sat in over 10,000 hours of workshops and soon realized that people were asking the wrong questions. This epiphany pushed him to start teaching leadership training, and he later self-published a book around the phrase he coined, “the question behind the question.”In this episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk with John about his book, QBQ! The Question Behind the Question: Practicing Personal Accountability at Work and in Life, how this led to other books, and how he sold so many copies.

Send us a textSo many people think of writing a book as being this big arduous task to just fill pages with words. But books aren’t just words—they’re ideas, messages, or inspirations supported by those words. If books were just words, then you could put any logical words together to make a book, but you wouldn’t necessarily be inspired by the content or remember the book.On this week’s episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk about how perfectionism can keep you from pressing publish on your book and how you can get help moving forward with publishing your own book this year.Check out the show notes here: https://authorswholead.com/2022/07/15/episode212/Want to become a published author?

Send us a textThe concept for a three-book fiction series came about during FaceTime visits with our parents in West Virginia. We always kept in touch this way even as we traveled around the world, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, we talked more frequently. Steve Vannoy, my husband and partner in “Authors Who Lead,” says of those conversations, “It always seemed like my dad would want to tell a story.” We felt like we could honor his stories and his storytelling by writing a series of fiction books memorializing his life and the place he grew up in. If you haven’t already heard Episode 186 and Episode 193 of “Authors Who Lead,” you should go back and listen to the start of our fiction journey. On today’s episode of “Authors Who Lead,” Steve and I talk about how the series is going now that we are starting to write book three and about the new Fiction with Purpose group program we designed to take others through the journey of writing a fiction book.Want to become a published author?
