Book Launch – LIVETHEFUEL

Hotshot Book Launch with Hilary Jastram

Scott Mulvaney — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000

Enjoy This August 2021 Book Launch Throwback Episode:

I took a big break during 2021 to ensure we could finish launching my first book, “So You Want To Be A Hotshot” and well, we did it! This podcast episode was originally a Facebook LIVE video on my personal feed there during our book launch day. So please listen in with my editor and publisher partner, Hilary and I celebrate and discuss lessons learned. With 20+ years in the digital marketing trenches, J . Hill Marketing & Creative Services is the expert. Period. Here is Hilary’s bio below.

Quote: You OWE it to your book to take time and not rush it!

~ Hilary Jastram

I am the founder of J. Hil Creative, a marketing agency specializing in premier copywriting, editing, and book editing for Fortune 500 brands and the “one-percent” superstar entrepreneurs. Bookmark Publishing House, a division of J. Hil Creative, was born out of necessity when the inquiries I put out to help authors publish their masterpieces gained traction. Now, it is Bookmark that demands most of my time–and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Authors who come to me get a genuine assessment of what they need to do to reach the book publishing finish line. I am qualified to teach them as this is a road I have traveled myself.

It’s important that an author works with an editor who has been in the book writing trenches–who is an author themselves. So the process is one of not just empathy but sympathy. When I tell authors I understand their confusion and overwhelm, their fear of releasing their book baby into the world, I absolutely mean it. This is why I love being a book coach so much! There is nothing like being witness to a writer’s strength growing in ways that surprise even them. I tell myself every day that I have the best job on the planet.

Since 2016, Bookmark has helped over 100 authors everywhere get published! That’s a number I’m pretty proud of. I attribute our success to my incredible team of experts ranging from proofers, formatters, designers, marketers, copywriters, and editors.

Another one of my labors of love is the Go Book Yourself podcast that allows authors to master writing, marketing, and publishing one byte at a time. It’s my hope that this podcast will provide peace of mind through the sharing of relevant and road-tested tips, tricks, and industry insights, so authors can gain the confidence they need to move forward on the steps to publication.

As you are about to learn, there’s no feeling like becoming an author in the entire world. Wearing the crown of authorhood belongs solely to you. Nothing can ever take it away. And in my eyes, nothing can ever beat it.

Although my time is dedicated mainly to Bookmark, I am available for copywriting, publishing, and marketing consultations. Please reach out using the Contact option on the menu at the top of the page. I can’t wait to speak with you soon!

Today’s Top 3 Takeaways:

Be patient with the process, even a Hotshot can struggle.
Stay inspired to ensure your motivation to the end.
Partner with the right professional to push you to the finish line

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:25 – I have to stay sane and married. So I’m gonna make a command decision right now to do those things. I admired your dedication. I admired your focus, and you came back to it. So some people don’t come back to it. I don’t know why this is.

17:10 – You already had that commitment. I think he was robbed but what stuck out for me and what I just kind of chuckled over and I really enjoyed watching you get into and wade around in… You fully immersed yourself in the total geekiness of living as a minimalist. That that was joyful for me.

22:30 – So I do mention that in the book. There’s already been a movie about the Granite Mountain Hotshots who passed away June 30, 2013. I got to serve alongside of them with my crew Pleasant Valley Hotshots in 2010, 2011, on different fires. Then, unfortunately, when I stepped away from the profession, they ended up passing away. 19 of the 20 men lost their lives on the Yarnell Hill fire on June 30, 2013 trying to protect the town of Yarnell outside of Prescott, Arizona.

30:35 – It’s not you, it’s me. I think my line was, man I was such a douche, I think my line was, was like, listen, I can be gone for a month at a time or two months at a time. It’s not fair to you or I to take those matters of the heart like that so lightly. Honestly, deep down, I didn’t want to. I didn’t want to risk my heart, I was shut down. I saw people on my crew struggling, being engaged, being married, worrying about people cheating on you while you’re gone. So I was like, dude, this is only for like, sometimes four to six weeks. I can’t imagine people in the military what they go through. It took a lot of years of work to pull my head out of my ass after this.

40:00 – Well, I’ll tell you what I think what you’re doing here is right. So when you take on a book, it used to be, I’m going to write a book and that’s going to be the focus. I’m going to write a book and then I’m going to do this, then I’m going to do this, and I’m going to do this, once you’ve done “this”, you launch a multi-prong campaign. That is exactly what you should be doing. So if there’s anything that I want people to take away today, it is to wrap your mind around the fact that you’re not just an author, you are a marketer, you will be whether you’re self-publishing, going with the publisher or a traditional publisher, whatever the case is. You will be expected to come to the table as a marketer.

50:00 –

46:15 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

If you can’t sell your own book… Alright. So my friends, my family, my followers, please help push this out there. Now again, all profits go to charity, I’m not messing around. It tells you right an Amazon. It’s literally on the back of the book. I started my own foundation, that was one of the things that happened because of writing the book. I want to be able to make sure and guarantee people that money is going to charity.

FUEL Foundations is legit 501-C3 nonprofit that I registered over a year ago. I didn’t plan on doing it until writing the book because then I realized, wait a minute, what if certain firefighting benefiting communities or charities either go defunct, or all of a sudden get shady. I need to ensure that people’s money is being put in the right hands. If I only aligned with one charity on the book, well, then I can’t help others. So this is one way that we can literally ensure that this book’s success can be benefiting multiple organizations for years to come!

00:30: Introduction

06:15: A quick shoutout to Dave Steele. That’s right, Dave, I see you’re commenting on the live feed. I think he’s still touring here in this country for his book release. This guy’s epic! A true pioneer and person who’s looking to inspire others in the vision-impaired lifestyles out there.

09:50: Over a year ago, I started my book project. I wanted this book to be done by now, I wanted it out there. The book, So you want to be a Hotshot, will be coming out in 2020!

14:45: A wedding, collapsing a lung, attempting my first ultra mountain biking race. Attempting the 100-mile mountain biking race called the wilderness 101, after I recovered from the lung surgery after the heli-skiing wedding. Fast forward to June 2019…

17:30: FUEL Brands are growing! FUEL Enterprises, my FUEL Marketing aka FUEL Agency, the 2019 launch of FUEL Foundations, and more!

18:30: Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Somebody has to take accountability and pull themselves up with me, along with our audience, right? That’s the point of surrounding yourself with the right podcasts, the right audiobooks, the right conferences, the right inspirational people you follow on social media, etc.

If you’re constantly watching drama TV, listening to the negative news networks, standing around the water cooler if you’re at the job and listen to that person bitch and moan every single day about how their life sucks, or their wife sucks or their boyfriend sucks, etc, etc, etc. That is all, negative flow man, that’s negative energy, so cut that crap out!

Maybe you’re not ready to go to the gym yet, even though you set that goal on New Year’s Eve, right? Oh man, I said I would go New Year’s Eve. Oh well get over it. Try again tomorrow! Give yourself a break. Take a deep breath, make your lists, check them twice, and all that fun stuff.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 Introduction
11:24 I have got the Hotshots book that’s going to benefit my new FUEL Foundations. I’ve got the annual fallen firefighters workout that we do in the F13 Performance, and more. All of this is now benefiting the foundation and then obviously the foundation will be able to give back as we see fit. I now even moved our Jordan Creek Singletrack projects under that because I’ve been paying out of my pocket forever and I still will. However, we need a foundation to build support and positive charitable growth.
10:30 I’m not taking any profit. Let’s be real here, one thing I’ve learned in this self-publishing school mastermind group and learn from other authors, is that you’re not going to become rich. It’s just a passion project to give back.
20:00 My wife calls me on my shit and loves to quote Joe Rogan.
23:28 As we continue to grow and succeed, you will attract the haters along with the lovers. You have got to sort through the mess, keep rolling with it, keep punching through it, and keep taking that imperfect action.
28:30 Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

You have got to figure out your day. You have got to figure out what fires you up. Maybe you have a side hustle in you. Maybe you have a business in you that you’ve always wanted to kind of play around with.

You know what, life is short. If you don’t like your job, or your career, CHANGE IT! It might not happen in six months or two years, but at least you will have something going on that helps you feel free. Find that free time that fires you up. If anything, I find too many things to fire me up these days.

271: Forefront Goals and Your Attention To Detail

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 10 May 2019 12:00:00 +0000

Improve Your Attention to Detail, Set Goals in the Forefront, Discussing StrengthsFinder, and More:

Chris Denny is a researcher, trainer, consultant, and business owner. When he is not running a business or spending time with his family, he is researching attention to detail or helping others become more detail-oriented.

Chris delivers training workshops and seminars for companies and government organizations and conducts one on one coaching for high-value employees. Attention To Detail training is available via online courses.

*Goals must be out on the forefront to target them. – Chris Denny

The seed of Attention To Detail Solutions started in 2010 when Chris had an employee who was technically strong and generally valuable, aside from his low attention to detail. After searching for a book or training and finding nothing that would help, Chris started to create something that could help. He had inadvertently found a passion and after 6 years of exhaustive research, hundreds of surveys, and dozens of interviews, Chris emerged with the Attention To Detail Training™ system.

Since 2008, Chris has owned a marketing agency that is now largely operated by a small staff who allow him to focus mainly on consulting, training, and research. His training and speaking style is personal and interactive with a great deal of open discussion to ensure participants are fully engaged and getting maximum value for the time they spend in Attention To Detail Training™ workshops and seminars.

Final Words:

You always have to have the goal and it must be set out there. Whether it’s a place, a time, or an objective. The details are what take you there properly, efficiently, and successfully. I always like to make sure people understand that the two are not mutually exclusive in conversation or in reality correlation. You need one with the other in order to achieve it successfully. The big picture here is make sure you keep that in mind. However you do it, with whatever system you use, planners, whiteboards or whatever.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] That’s the point, that’s where some of the stress comes from, people worrying about the same things.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] The other part of that is that it’s very systemized. That’s where contrast of attention to detail is why the big fast food chains can be run by 16 year olds. So you end up having these billion dollar organizations that are largely operated by kids.
[spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] The whole theme behind StrengthsFinder is you could be spinning your wheels, trying to fix a weakness that you have, or you could channel most of your energy into the your natural strengths.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Typically, the person who I hear from is one of three people. It’s the talent development person, like the director of talent development. Second, it could be a VP level influencer. Third, it is a receptionist or an admin that is tasked with helping improve the company.

Pat encourages us to look at what we really want to do. This is especially important if you’re looking at building a business or expanding one.

Do your research but don’t be held back by fear. There will be times that you stumble, we all have stumbled, we all make mistakes. It makes us stronger people. She would rather you take a risk and do something that you really want to do rather than be held back and have regrets.

Regrets will destroy your will, they’ll destroy your mood, they’ll destroy your happiness. You’re going through this world once, there’s no return trip. Do what you need to do for your own happiness, satisfaction, and financial security in this lifetime.
