Today’s going to be one of those days! [The Writer’ s Life]( July 17, 2023 "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." – Albert Einstein Happy World Emoji Day, {NAME}! 🙌 It's ⏰ for Monday Morning Jumpstart! I ❤️ listening to Russ Henneberry talk … He's so good at making concepts clear and easy to understand. 🤩 Plus, his 💡 are geared to help writers and marketers make more 💰! All kidding aside, Russ invariably offers ways to improve your skills, grow your career, and take your business to the next level. Today is no exception. In our Monday Morning Jumpstart, Russ and Jade Trueblood look at transitioning from "just a writer" to a valued consultant and what that trajectory might look like for writers … whether you're just starting out or trying to level up. Russ's insights on how to reframe that idea just a bit set you on a path to earning higher fees. As writers of copy and content designed to get results, Russ revealed how they should position themselves to potential clients and what their "secret weapon" of choice should be moving forward. And, of course, that's only the beginning … Russ offered so many valuable takeaways on the topic of the trajectory from writer to consultant, I can only suggest [you watch with a pad of paper and pen ready]( to take a lot of notes! 📝 Before they wrapped up this episode, Jade and Russ also talked about the trait of curiosity in successful writers, along with two additional key traits that set higher-value writers apart, and how you can use those traits to make more money in less time. And speaking of more money in less time … [THIS is turning up the potential in a really big way.]( It's something I recommend writers embrace (and the sooner the better!).
