The Power of a Single Session
“I knew I had to focus more on my author marketing, but I was overwhelmed with the idea of getting it done. Jessica helped me break it down into a clear action plan that will help me be consistent and stay on track. Within an hour, Jessica had created a sticky-note map that I can easily follow and refer back to if I get off track. I left the session feeling confident that I can accomplish my marketing goals. If you know what you ‘should’ be doing in your author career, but you’re having trouble figuring out where to start, I recommend booking with Jessica. You will leave feeling a lot less overwhelmed and much more motivated.”

After my next book was interrupted by family emergencies for over a year, I struggled to put together a new timeline for finishing and publishing the novel. Sitting down with Jessica, we talked about my need for increased buffer time in the new plan to allow for future emergencies. With that in mind, Jessica walked me through the process of building a new timeline with sticky notes, and reminded me of my need for buffer time whenever I got a bit too ambitious with deadlines. Not only has this session helped reinvigorate my drive to get this book done, but it’s provided a reusable timeline that will account for surprise life events without disrupting the book’s production. I’d highly recommend working with Jessica if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the amount of planning that goes into a book release, or if (like me) you feel overwhelmed at having to start over since your old plan no longer fits your availability to write.

Jessica,
I have put goals in place for the last three years, but the one-hour session with you put them in reality! I now have action items attached to my goals, thanks to you! I can see some exciting things happening this year as a result of the Sticky Note Plan.
Thank you so much,
-BB Montgomery
Jessica helped so much with the sticky note strategy. She helped me break down my long list of overwhelm into actionable pieces. Even better, we have months attached to those tasks so I only have to worry about what’s in my immediate future. This is definitely great for those who feel like they are buried under their to-do list and need help looking into the next six months with an actionable plan.

Yesterday’s coaching session with Jessica Barna @authorachievement was a game-changer.
Thanks to @inkerscon, I signed up for a free “Sticky Notes Strategy Session,” which was exactly what my Fibro + ADHD brain needed.
I’ve always relied on @postit Notes to help me visualize and organize, and during our one-hour Zoom call, Jessica helped me map out all my ideas and goals for the year. What started as scrambled chaos in my head became a clear, colorful roadmap on my whiteboard.

Before my talk with Jessica, I felt overwhelmed. I had a lot of information floating around in my head, but it all seemed like too much to tackle.
Jessica did a great job asking questions that made me think and helped me to see my plan more clearly. She also answered my questions and provided helpful insight about some of the specific areas in marketing that were troubling me.
I now have a plan for what I want to focus on moving forward, which cleared away a lot of the overwhelm I was feeling. While marketing is still a lot of work and effort, I feel a lot more positive about it after my talk with Jessica.

My session with Jessica was so, so helpful! She helped me think through all of my projects clearly, dissect all the moving parts, and put together a realistic timeline that fits my schedule. Her sticky-note process really helps to visualize everything, which is great for a visual person like me! I definitely plan on printing out the chart we created together and sticking it up on my wall for reference. If you’re someone who finds it challenging to distill big projects down into concrete, workable pieces, Jessica’s method is exactly what you’re looking for. Highly recommend!

As an emerging writer, I find it challenging to keep up with technology. Having an online presence and developing a readership is essential, but I wasn’t sure how to achieve this aspect of the writing business until I met Jessica. She took the time to explain and implement a tailored marketing plan that met my specific needs. I am confident that I will achieve the goals we set together to establish a digital and marketing strategy that further meets my requirements and enhances my skills. I look forward to working with Jessica in the future and would recommend her to any writer at any stage of their career.

I went into the session with Jessica, feeling like a walking disaster. I had ideas, a vision or two or five, but no cohesion. It was more like a squirrel with a pen. Jessica brought everything into focus.
She gave me insight into my goals and how disjointed they were, much like several ladders against the wall, all missing rungs. How it was better to focus on one or two things that are already moving along, rather than trying to do all the things.
During our call, she showed me it was okay to put something aside for the short term, to focus on that first hurdle in a way that was easy to understand and use. Her advice was solid, and has given me a sense that I can make my author career a success without burning myself out or losing my love of my business.
As an author, as a business owner, it’s so important to know where you stand and what your goals are. Jessica really helped me focus on that and I would recommend anyone who is looking to build on their business and career chat with her.

Jessica is so easy to chat with, within the first five minutes, she had me spilling my long to-do list for the next few months. And through her guidance, we sorted through the task list, identified any gaps, and organized tasks as they become due. It’s daunting everything that has to be done, but with the organized way my tasks were presented, it still seems like a lot, but it becomes manageable.
– Adrianna
Before working with Jessica, I felt like my goals were all scattered all over the place. After working with her, I had a clear vision of where I wanted to go on in the next six months. I’m really glad I took this opportunity!
