Weekly Mastermind

Your Ignite journey starts here with an open, fun and empowering weekly Author Journey Masterminds which are a wonderful opportunity to celebrate your success and your commitment, hard work and dedication. Each Mastermind is designed to help you connect with your story, and show you the incredible Ignite Process. The masterminds are also a great opportunity to meet your co-authors and create lifelong friendships and partnerships.

GOOD FIRST DRAFT

This is where the mapping of your story begins. It takes its own journey, starting with the submission of the first draft of your power quote, your intentions, your Ignite story, and finally, your action steps. This step is an exciting one, as you will learn to convey the message that’s so important to you in a way that will inspire others...and it’s just the beginning.

EDITING SESSION 1 (UNCOVER) COMPLETED

The “Uncover Session”, is where you will refine the structure and flow of your story. We help you to affirm the silver thread and enhance all areas that will captivate the reader, while maintaining your unique voice.

PHOTO SUBMISSION DUE

Let the reader see you. Let them see the person behind the story. Let them see the wonder of who you have become after, not only having your IGNITE moment, but sharing that moment and how it inspired your growth. Your professional photo is the perfect pairing to your story - it gives the reader a glimpse of the person behind the moment.

EDITING SESSION 2 (DEEP DIVE) COMPLETED

We call this collaborative process “Your Deep Dive”. It will take all that you’ve created so far, and add layers of imagery, texture and emotional resonance to effectively draw your story out even more. It will allow the reader to feel and relate to your story. Not only are you sending your message out to the world, but the reader will share in the joy and triumph of your Ignite moment.
