When Intuition Leaves Breadcrumbs

Last week, while completing some routine legal paperwork, I did something I’ve never done: I wrote 1924 instead of 2025.

The department called me in to correct it. I was startled, how could I write a date from more than a century ago without noticing? Later, curiosity nudged me to look deeper. Again and again I found the same themes tied to 1924: searching, building, creating legacies.

It gave me chills. I’m immersed in my 8th book right now, and so many of the leaders and professionals I work with are feeling the same pull: to move beyond “someday,” to put hard-won wisdom on the page, to create something that lasts.

When a “mistake” is a message

Life leaves us breadcrumbs. They don’t always arrive as grand epiphanies; sometimes they’re small interruptions that gently lift us out of autopilot. A miswritten year. A conversation that won’t leave you. A line you can’t stop underlining.

If you’ve been sensing your own breadcrumb, a quiet nudge to finally write the book you’ve been carrying, consider this your confirmation.

Legacy lives on the page

Books are more than words. They become a bridge between seasons of your life, a vessel for your voice, and a way for your ideas to keep working long after the moment has passed. A book preserves clarity, grows visibility, and invites the right opportunities to find you. Most of all, it serves the people who need your story.

That’s why I’m inviting you to join me for the 5-Day $10K Author Challenge.

Across five focused days, I’ll guide you to:

• Clarify the true promise of your book,
• Map an income + visibility pathway that begins before publication, and
• Step into authorship as an act of legacy, not just a project on your list.

Because the point isn’t waiting for perfect conditions. It’s answering the nudge and beginning with support.

Your words matter.
Your story matters.
Your legacy matters.
