we are going to go ahead and get started with the day so today we're talking about why being an
actor actor author is more important than being a celebrity you'll understand why i just had that
thing just happened here in just a second why being an author is more important than being a
celebrity so uh there is first things that you can win here's how you win things you subscribe to my
youtube channel comment on my youtube videos share my youtube videos into social media tagging myself
or my business page in it and one person every week is going to win something so there's that
let me go ahead and get rid of that now let's go ahead and get into it why being an author is more
important than being a celebrity this is a quote from somebody i just talked to a couple days ago
so a new friend of mine chris casamassa casamassa casamas i'm not sure exactly how we say it
because i've never said his last name out loud before but um he played scorpion in
mortal kombat okay so the yellow guy the get over here uh that's so the mortal kombat guy uh
he and i were talking because i'm gonna speak at his mastermind in huntington
beach california in april i think yeah april april fool's day that's what it is
and uh anyway so we were talking and he's like you know what i love authors and he's a celebrity okay
so he's an actor he's a celebrity he also is a business owner and uh he has his own martial arts
studio he trains a lot of kids i think that's really cool and then he also teaches business
owners or martial arts business owners how to be able to run their martial arts business right and
um just a very cool guy but he's like the the thing that he said to me that kind of went like
to me because i don't have this perspective but he does and he said uh he said
people look up to authors even more than they look up to actors and celebrities
and he knows because he is one and he's also an author but they look up to him
more now that he's an author then when he you know like the author celebrity side of him
they he gets more attention for being an author than an actor or a celebrity doesn't that kind of
just scramble people's minds a little bit you know for those of us that aren't actors and celebrities
we're kind of like but like all the attention is on them you know like that's isn't that like in
today's society kind of like the thing but the cool thing is is really it's the authors guys
it's the authors and what on earth is keeping you from being an author so if you wanted to be
an actor or a celebrity my gosh you've got to run the gauntlet right there are a lot of people that
moved to la every single year trying to hit it big uh being an actor or a celebrity sometimes it took
people like morgan freeman i think the guy started at 50 years old 60 years i mean the guy it's like
he was already seasoned whenever he started so it took him that long to actually be able to do that
you know there were people like um sylvester stallone that it took him so many times to just
even get his movie rocky to for people to create that movie and i know we're talking more about
movies and production and stuff like that but the same thing is true it takes a lot
and what it also takes you guys is this thing that i can't stand
it takes someone else telling you you're good enough it takes someone else looking at you and
saying no let them in my movie i'll let him in my stuff and then you have to use that role make it
good become a celebrity out of out of somebody's saying okay i'll let him in or no and more people
here know than anything right because there's so many people it's just it's a numbers game
well now let's talk about being an author which actually chris said himself like i said with all
the perspective in the world said himself authors are actually above actors and celebrities well
let's talk about the barrier and the threshold to becoming an author we talked about the actor
celebrity i mean that is like one in it's not a million but it might be close like it's a lot
okay difficult i mean we can all agree it's difficult right like i'm not just exaggerating
this is difficult right this isn't just martha saying something's hard and it's not it's
hard now let's talk about the barrier to becoming an author
i mean how many of you are in my hbr program and have become an author within the last year
do you know that you are now above
actors and celebrities whenever put in front of people you are now above actors and celebrities
how many people that are in hbr and have become an author within the last year talk about it
how many of you are actually talking about it how many of you share that you're an author and
a lot of you are best-selling authors how many of you are sharing that you're best-selling
authors and that you're authors at all and that you're published authors and that you've written
a book or shared that you have a book my book's right there i have another book over here
how many of you are doing that how many of you just kind of checkmarked okay now
i'm an author and then now i'm gonna keep going down the road and do my thing you guys leverage
if you're an author if you wrote a book leverage it day in day out day in day out it is your point
of authority leverage that don't let it go by the wayside right so i did a lot of videos with
my authors from the invincible family project so we did a book collaboration i did a lot of videos
with them and they were like martha when you gonna put these videos out and i'm like as soon as as
soon as the initial i'm just gonna tell you guys let's be transparent here as soon as the initial
buying of the books dies down then you're gonna start seeing the videos come out because we're
leveraging okay this is so you don't just have the this this and nothing because that
is not a business why even do something if you're just gonna go this this nothing else
we need to always constantly be leveraging it always be talking about it people should
know that you're an author the first thing that somebody thinks about you whenever they see you
they should think oh she wrote a book that's right she wrote a book
how are they going to be thinking about that if you're not talking about it or if you don't have
it in your bios in your social media and on your website and all over right so there's that second
second what we're going to talk about is if you're not an author why not right
why not why aren't you an author why haven't you written something and here are the things that i
usually hear from people right i usually hear uh i don't know where to start i don't know how to
write a book whenever i write it where do what do i do after that you know why am i going to spend
all this time writing something and i don't even know what the next step is right how am i going to
get it out there whenever i write it or is it just going to be a book that exists that i don't know
all of those things right those of you that are in hbr you already have a section in hbr
where megan larson literally she walks you through the the book writing portion like
the the outlining getting it ready okay we also have an aside program called uh book to empire
that is specifically so if you're in hbr you get like a high level
idea of how to get your book done book to empire is specifically for writers it's specifically for
people that want their book to be their source of income and they want their book to be their
um their main thing and they want to build their business around their books specifically okay
that's book to empire and that's where megan walks you i mean i can't even tell you all the stuff
that she does you guys if you know megan you know she's like over here just like overdoing things
like she tells you how to write your book how to self-publish how to do a book collab which is
uh you get the basically you'll make your money back from the entire course just in doing one
book collab there's that um if you don't know what a book collab is message me or comment something
like that somebody will help you out with that um there's so many things all of everything it's soup
to nuts it's like she tells you how to write the book how to get it done how to make it good right
and then also i come in and i specifically for a book show you guys how to be able to build
audience around that book be able to um basically you're building your empire around that book
okay specifically for books all right so just so you know hbr multiple income streams
all of the things making them weave together book to empire specifically around your book
now are you also building programs courses coaching consulting things like that that
align with your book yes but it's all specifically around your book and specifically on how to do it
that way does that make sense so just just so you know if you didn't know about book to
empire it's a thing it's available right now i think megan do we still have it at half off
if it's not half off let's do that let's do that for um i'm just going to make a call
they're going to know you i know you're probably watching right now um
it's not i don't know if it's half off right now but if it isn't let's make it half off today
through when i get back from texas which is monday so monday the 11th
yes i'm cool with it okay um so monday the 11th we'll make it half off until monday the 11th you
guys can get in just just so you know just uh all you have to do is um message live in
the dream with martha it's my facebook business page just message me the words um just message
me book to empire the words book to empire sorry i didn't know i was going to do this i
didn't really mean to do this this is totally i didn't even talk to megan about this first
but this is my um facebook business page you would just message me there that's where we would get
your half off okay guys just so you know um let me go ahead and get out of that but uh but really
you guys what i wanted to i didn't even mean to go down that i'm so sorry sometimes i just um
what i want you guys to understand is this writing your books creates so much value creates so much
and authority is a weird word but it creates so much authority it creates so much top of mind
awareness it creates so much validity validity in who you are what you do and how good you are at it
validity it validates you it puts a stamp on you you know how like on instagram they've got
like this blue star it's almost like it puts a blue star next to you as a person
like valid it's like a seal of approval is what your book does for you and so if you're sitting
there and you're like man i don't even know what i would i would do as a book like i don't get it
i mean really we can bring the book out of you megan we megan can bring the book out of you okay
that's no our lane martha i am not the one that does that um megan will bring the book out of you
and then i'll help you create an empire out of it but really truly think
about how serious you are i mean this is just like let's just
get real for a second right like this is just like sister talk here
how serious are you about creating the impact in the world that you say that you want to do
i'll let you think about it for a second how really serious are you
think of what you want to do think of how you want to positively impact the world
and my question is how serious are you
because if you're truly serious you're going to take the steps necessary in order to make
it happen and if you're not you're going to think of every excuse possible not to do it
here's the truth in that well it's all true
the more excuses that you make not to do something because of your fear
your self-sabotage you're all of these things that hold you back
keeps your people that you're here to serve it keeps them in the same place
and they don't get to get better in a way that you know how to help them get better
in a way that you know how to help serve them and move them from point a to point b
the more that you don't take steps forward they remain stuck
i'm going to tell you something that's a very sobering thing to think about that's on you
i love you so much i have to say these things sometimes just to shake you out of your own fear
to shake you out of your own
self-sabotage your own but i don't know i'm scared uh all of those things i have to shake you out of
that to realize there is something so much bigger than you in this world but you are a part of it
you are created to do this and the more that you do not do it you're going to continue to feel
like you haven't made a difference and i don't want that for you because man if you knew what it
felt like to make a difference in people's lives every single day you would never let this stop you
sure there's money sure there's you know notoriety and there's speaking engagements and all of this
stuff sure there's all of that but the real gold you guys the real true gold is when somebody
says through tears their life has been changed because you said yes because you showed up
that's the gold everything else is cool the gold is the changing lives guys that's what matters
that's what eternally matters eternally matters because when we change people's lives you guys
their mind opens up to so much more and they don't have this short-sighted view of the world anymore
now they're opened up and they can see what god has for them their life eternally changes
and i don't know about you guys i'm here for that i'm here for that
just something to think about today love you guys bye
