Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the roles you have to fill as a self-published author?
Would you like to know how one man managed to be a full-time husband and father, inventor, magician, keynote speaker and general manager of the world’s first and best online retailer?
Oh, and he wrote and published what I consider one of the BEST self-published books I’ve seen to date. You’re going to want to stick around so you learn the inside scoop.
Not too long ago, I posted an interview segment about passion versus profit with world-famous magician and creativity expert Adam Wilber.
In that interview, I’d asked him a number of deep questions, but my most burning question was HOW.
How did he manage his business life, personal brand, and family life? Add to that, Adam published, in my opinion, one of the most polished independent books in "Creativity: The Magic Formula."
So, what exactly are his time management tips for author and writers? And, could we all do the same? Here’s what he had to say.

Admittedly, I’m outside my wheelhouse when writing fiction, so that’s why I thought I’d call in an old friend in Tim Knox to give me the 4-1-1 on fiction writing.
Today, we’ll learn about the process of character development in fiction and how a character profile can optimize your writing flow and improve your storytelling ability.
I asked Tim what his secret was in writing believable characters that readers can identify with, and here’s what he had to say.

Today, I’m going to talk to social media marketing expert and experienced blogger, Stephanie Hopkins about the power of collaborating with authors.
Quite a bit of my success in self-publishing and video marketing can be attributed to the power of collaboration.
If you’ve tuned in long enough, then you’d remember that I’ve had dozens of guests that are the who’s who of self-publishing industry experts and up-and-comers.
If it weren’t for them allowing me time with them to learn, grow and share their knowledge, then I’d be fighting an uphill battle to spread my message.
But, you don’t have to take my word on it. And, that’s why I thought I’d lean on social media marketing expert and pro blogger, Stephanie Hopkins of LAP It Marketing.
I asked Stephanie, is collaborating all that important to self-published authors and here’s what she had to say.

Many people assume the self-publishing industry only just began around the advent of Kindle publishing, but that could be furthest from the truth.
I’ve had guests like Jonny Andrews who got his start in self-publishing in 2004. And, then there was John Celestri who started his book publishing career in the 90s.
But, today, I’m bringing someone who’s been in the business of self-publishing books for the past 30 years. She is prolific author and photographer, KS “Kat” Brooks.
Kat is going to share some of the changes she’s seen in self-publishing books over the years.
