EP 102: Six Month Check-in After Getting Ruthed With Brooke Van Sickle

Six months ago, Brooke Van Sickle was brave enough to come on the show, where she Got Ruthed! Now she’s back for a follow-up episode to talk about what she’s been doing since then. You’ll need to listen in to hear all of the details, but I just want to say that I’m so amazed and proud of how well she’s doing and how much she has accomplished since then!

Brooke is the founder of Journey to KidLit, which focuses on teaching children’s book writers how to write and publish their book ideas. In our previous conversation, we discovered that while Brooke thought that her biggest problem was that she wasn’t making any money yet, her biggest problem was actually imposter syndrome. She was letting her fear that she wasn’t qualified or perfect hold her back from accomplishing everything she wanted to do.

I think part of Brooke was using the fact that she was going to self-publish as an excuse. But the fact is that you don’t need to be traditionally published anymore! And even the best excuse is still an excuse. If Brooke wanted to move forward, she needed to eliminate those excuses, take action, and start publishing!

I left Brooke with a three-step plan: self-publish at least three of her 13 completed books, start working on her signature program, and increase her on-site conversion rate dramatically. And now, it’s time to check in and hear how things are going for her!

The day before the conversation you’re about to hear, Brooke had the official launch for her first published book! Isn’t that amazing? And she’s all in, with plans to go to 20 schools in March as part of the launch. While she’s been working on publishing her book, she’s also been working on her course, which she plans to open in May. She’s even started selling products to her list already!

Tune in to learn about how Brooke will be sharing her journey on her blog, how she dramatically improved her on-site conversion rate to 12% this month, what she should do going forward to make more money through her site, and all the amazing progress that she’s made since her first Get Ruthed coaching episode!
