"You don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great." - Les Brown, world-renowned motivational speaker.

By starting, you'll gain momentum, learn from your mistakes, and build the skills and confidence you need to achieve your goals.
"Swipe: The Science Behind Why We Don't Finish What We Start" offers the key to break free from failure, disengagement, and regret.
Tracy Maylett and Tim Vandehey explore the "swipe" impulse caused by our high-tech culture, revealing how it hinders us from reaching our goals.

Wondering how authors feel about their hybrid publishers? Josh Bernoff has the answer.
After surveying a collection of nonfiction authors across publishing models, Josh found that those who worked with a hybrid publisher felt more positively toward their publisher than their traditionally published counterparts.

We can't wait to see the continued impact their book, "Working With Gen Z", will have on shaping the future of our workforce.
Unlock the secret to pain-free chapter writing with a systematic approach by Josh Bernoff in this article published on Jane Friedman's website!
Bernoff always starts by establishing a precise objective for the chapter, followed by a comprehensive outline to help map out the chapter's trajectory. This allows for the most efficient and ultimately creative construction of the chapter, leaving room for you to craft an engaging opening story, develop a compelling main idea, and seamlessly bridge the connective material.
The bottom line? Prioritize progress over perfection at this stage. Refinement comes through the editorial process later in the overall production arc.

In a world filled with noise, simplicity cuts through the clutter. Embrace the power of clear and concise writing to ensure your message shines bright and resonates with others.
In a recent New York Times article about remote work by Emma Goldberg, organizational psychologist and Amplify author Tracy Maylett highlights the importance of understanding the underlying motives behind apparent dissatisfaction and objection from employees.
"What appears to be a grumbling or complaint is in many cases a request for understanding. When you look at change, the most dangerous people are people who are quiet, because you don’t know what they’re thinking. You can’t address their concerns."
