Listened to the first 26:34 of the show and got overwhelmed.
I am so fully convinced that AMMO is the right avenue for me. But there is something inside me that is paralyzed with fear when I start getting into it. I can't understand what that is. I truly don't know what's wrong with me. I know this is the right thing.
Randy is going to listen to this episode with me in its entirety so that he can help hold me accountable for taking some action. It's really killing me inside that I'm unable to force myself to fully immerse myself into something that - while hard work (I'm not afraid to work hard) - is quite possibly the key to turning the tide for me, professionally.
It's a testament to TRBM (you, specifically, Jody) that I'm even at this place. Taking away my irrational bouts of undiluted terror at the mere mention of it, I am still on board. I just need Randy (and any other volunteers - anyone? anyone? Bueller?) to get me in a full-court press until I'm able to walk without crutches. Mixed metaphors, bad analogies, whatever. You know what I mean.
Also - Naomi's description of her writing seems similar to what I do (e.g., family saga, Easter egss, etc.). I get her that way. And for her to have the success she has is really intimidating. The more I hear about the success of those in the program, the more fully convinced I am that I might not measure up. All I seem to want to do is retreat within my wheelhouse - the actual writing. AMMO's doing wonders for my fervor to write. Ironic. The more I think about marketing, the more I just want to go back to basics and write.
You know all this, Jody. I don't know if my public meltdown may help others or worry them as they consider AMMO. So, for anyone on the fence - I DO wholeheartedly believe this program will work if folks can take it seriously, dive into the deep end, and just do it [insert Nike logo]. Don't use me as an example of anything. My gut tells me it's everything it says it is and more. So...do as I say and not as I do. You'll soar.
(Can you imagine my comment length here if I'd actually listened beyond the 26:34 mark??)
Can't believe, though, that between the two of you no one knew what O.G. stood for.
I'm glad Naomi was willing to talk about the numbers. That is the most inspirational part of your podcast. Hearing the real numbers and her philosophy on what drives her business decisions is fantastic, and really puts the potential of AMMO into perspective.
I swear, my word counts are so high on Mondays and Wednesdays. May I suggest a Flashback Friday episode where you put up a previous episode so I can go into the weekend with my creative juices flowing?

I believe in you, and any reader worth his salt would agree. There's nothing more that needs said here, Heather.
Another inspiring conversation.

I like the look of the new site, Jim. It flips just a bit too fast, so I can't read each page, but the content is engaging.
