    You're Allowed to Want More with Kevin Chung [Book Launch Party! 🔥]

    Hey %%first_name%%, If you’re feeling burnt out, even if you’re living your “dream life”, did you know you’re allowed to want more? More happiness, more creativity, more vitality? That is the message my friend Kevin Chung has for us inside his new book, We Are All Creative (website here!) Kevin spent 17 years building his tech career, only to burn it all down and start his own marketing services practice from scratch. He moved to Costa Rica last year despite not knowing any Spanish. The irony? Despite starting over, despite feeling lost, Kevin has never felt more creative. 🔥 In his new book, We Are All Creative, Kevin shares what he learned after moving to a new country, and how all have the opportunity to choose anew tomorrow too. Through 52 curated quotes, custom artwork, and real-world stories, it shows how people reclaimed their work: from Maria Popova starting a weekly email from her ad agency desk to Vera Wang becoming a fashion mogul after missing out on the Olympic skating team. If you’re sitting under fluorescent lights repeating the same week on loop, you don't have a creativity problem. You may just trapped in a life you were told to live. Inside We Are All Creative, you have the opportunity to get radically inspired by humans who knew their life wasn’t meant to just follow the grain. To you and your 1 precious life. Grab We Are All Creative here. xo, Renee Thank you Amy Gabrielle, Sal Gallaher Author, Dharma Paige, and many others for tuning into my live video with Kevin Chung! Join me for my next live video in the app. P.S. This is not another book of motivational quotes. We Are All Creative is 52 weeks of real stories about people who redefined success on their own terms: https://weareallcreative.com/ Get full access to Smokin' Hot Books® at smokinhotbooks.substack.com/subscribe

    How C-Suite Executives and Entrepreneurs Can Turn Their Ideas Into a Book with Anita Henderson

    %%first_name%%, If you’re the kind of person who has been transformed from a process, you know what the real prize is. 🏆 🏃🏽‍♀️ If you ran a marathon, posting on Instagram about it wasn’t the real prize, was it? Training for the marathon, the 5 AMs, the vomit, and letting out the unhinged version of you who has no limits, was the prize. 🧠 If you’ve sold a company, or started a business, the money wasn’t the real prize, was it? The reps, the journaling sessions, no longer people-pleasing for your mother-in-law, honing your perspective & satisfaction in this 600 mph world, was the real prize. What if you were sharp enough to KNOW, in your gut, who you are and what you stand for? That’s what the true prize of writing your signature book is. 🏆 In this interview with book coach Anita Henderson, you’ll discover: * The mistake authors make when they lean too heavily on AI to write their book * Why working with an experienced book coach can be the difference between your speaking career actually growing (vs. stagnating) * Anita’s proprietary method to writing POWERFUL books that helps entrepreneurs exit their companies successfully (just for yall, the Smokin’ Hot Fam! 🔥) * What to do if you don’t have a signature method yet (but want to codify your IP into a repeatable process that turns prospects into clients worth 1000x the price of your book) Anita closes her calendar starting Oct 31 till the end of the year, so get in touch with her now! Fill out this form and you’ll learn if it’s a good fit to work with Anita.

    3 Kabbalah Secrets to Making Money with Ease

    Hi authors, Before 2021, all I knew was working hard. This was the paradigm my Asian parents lived in and I learned as a kid. Work hard, make money, and rest once you’ve earned it. It was the fastest way to the most depressed I’d ever been. In 2021, I learned a new way to see the world. It’s helped me have more fun, travel the world, and make more money with more ease. It wasn’t easy. It required me to rewire my entire brain. But when I finally learned these 3 Kabbalah Secrets to Make Money with Ease, life has felt happier, more fun, and more rewarding. In this episode, you will discover: * What I’m teaching my kids about money (that helped me release the 9-5 grind and help me get paid to be myself) * Why you want to be a successful businessperson, but struggle to do it with ease * What the news wants you to believe about money (that Mother Teresa never did) * How you can do more good, have more fun, and do it more easily, all without compromising your values The book referenced in today’s live is A Happy Pocket Full of Money (highly recommended!!) If you are an author who wants to use your book to drive sales to your business with more ease, I am hosting a Substack Live on Oct 26 at 12 ET/9 PT called “How to Sell 10,000 Copies of Your Self-Published Nonfiction Book.” 📆 Monday 10/26 ⏰ 12 ET/9 PT 📍 Substack Live 🍿 Replay for 3 days afterwards Add it to your calendar here.

    USA Today Bestsellers & Spiritual Awakenings with Tyler Wagner of Authors Unite

    He started drinking at age 10. He never stopped — until it threatened everything he knew. Tyler Wagner and his team at Authors Unite help his clients consistently hit the USA Today Bestseller charts. Most of his authors are self-published. He works 22 hours/week, plays tennis in his off time, and runs an 8-figure book marketing business. And yet, as you know, there’s got to be more to this story than the surface. It was my pleasure to host a book marketer I have looked up to for a long time on the Smokin’ Hot Books® Show, but we talk very little about actual book marketing. We went real deep in this one, folks. Human to human. In this exclusive interview with Tyler Wagner, we explore: * What happens after you move into the penthouse at the 4 Seasons? * What happens after the butler delivers you a single napkin in his suit and tie? * What happens after you get the diagnosis from the doctor that it’s either stop drinking or die? This is a raw, intimate conversation about where we go and what we find within ourselves — the whole philosophy behind the Marketing Alchemy philosophy of Smokin’ Hot Books® — and what happens when we can no longer keep our truth buried within us. You can learn more about Tyler and Authors Unite at: * https://authorsunite.com/ * https://authorsunite.com/150-bestselling-authors-and-exactly-how-many-books-they-sold-to-hit-the-list * https://authorsunite.com/book-launch Dive deeper into Marketing Alchemy and how you can use it to unleash your truth here: * How to Get Over Your Fear of Telling Your Story * Combine Your Story with Proven Marketing Strategy for Author Success Much love.
