Last week marked the end of an era for me.

After nearly 7 years of working together, I made the tough decision to part ways with my literary agent.

That popular saying, “If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a no,” sounds like a no-brainer.

Saying no to the “meh” saves you time and energy for the things that really light your fire.

A few years ago, a mentor shared some well-intentioned advice with me.

He said that my email newsletter looked “too plain.” It lacked graphics, a brand image, or even color. It was just plain text.
