Introduction to Reignite Your Fire
“Your life is the greatest story ever written.”
-Kia Arian
You know how some moments seem to stay with you forever? They’re etched into your memory, not because they were dramatic, but because something inside you shifted. Something cracked open. You knew, right then, that life would never be the same.
This is one of mine...
It was a slow, sweltering August afternoon in 2008. I was sitting behind the counter of my retail print shop, a little corner of the world I had poured my heart and money into for four years. But that day, the phone was silent. No customers had come in. A stack of unpaid bills sat in front of me. I leaned back in my swivel chair and stared out the large storefront windows, watching a lone fly frantically bounce against the glass…hopeless, trapped, searching for a way out.
I felt the same way.
A few months earlier, I had printed 10,000 lead generation postcards to drum up new business. But I was too broke to mail them. I couldn’t afford the list. I couldn’t afford the postage.
But in the silence of that heavy afternoon, a thought whispered: You don’t have to send all 10,000. Send what you can.
And that’s what I did.
I scraped together $45, googled 100 local contacts of businesses who still needed printing– attorneys and accountants–and mailed what I could.
Fifty came back undeliverable. Two calls came in. One appointment was made. An attorney, who was also a marketing consultant, who needed postcards, and happened to see mine on his desk that day.
That’s how I met Ben Glass.
That one inspired action changed my business, and my life. Ben became a loyal client, then a mentor, then a friend. Through him, I discovered the power of direct response marketing, authentic messaging, copywriting, and building a business the right way.
All because of one small, inspired step. It can unlock doors to the next greatest chapter of your life.
This book gives you the keys to do that.
It’s for the seasoned entrepreneur, the successful professional, the impact-driven visionary who has outgrown their old story. But the new one hasn’t formed yet.
Like that fly at the window, they know there is something more, but aren't sure how to get there.
What you do know is this:
You’re not interested in other people’s systems and “proven formulas.”
You loathe formulaic frameworks and guru blueprints.
You don’t want a strategist who is going to tell you what to do, or worse, give you a one-size-fits-all program, videos, and worksheets to follow.
You crave connection and collaboration, not conformity.
This book is also for the business owner who is working hard, but the success they want always seems to feel just out of reach. They are tired of the hustle, they just don’t know how to make it stop.
Whether you’ve made it… or you’re still trying, one thing is clear: You know there’s more.
This book is not a roadmap. You won’t find tactics or 5-step funnels in it.
What you will find is an invitation. A way to remember who you are beneath the roles and responsibilities.
To go back to when you started this entrepreneurial journey and reconnect with the purpose that ignited you. To discover the uniqueness that your journey forged in you. And give it not just expression, but embody it so that it ignites you all over again from within.
You will discover the people you are called to serve, the message you carry, and how to make the impact that the world is waiting for, that your business success has uniquely prepared you for.
When your business reflects your message… and your message reflects your identity… you stop chasing momentum. You become the source of it.
You will also meet The Muse’s Pen.
The Muse’s Pen extends a hand to go deeper. She invites you to pause the story that has been running in your mind, drop into your heart and your body, and begin to see the story you’ve always wanted to write for your life…without guilt, without obligation, without wondering if you deserve it or are ready for it.
The Muse’s Pen isn’t interested in how you plan your next move, she wants to show you how to listen for it and how to feel it, and let your actions be guided by divine inspiration, not formulas, not checklists and not performance-based algorithms and sterile metrics.
When you pick up the Muse’s Pen to write the next chapter of your life, you trade hustle for harmony, pressure for presence, and formulas for flow.
You may be weary but you’re not done. In rare moments of stillness, the voice within you still speaks,”I want to keep building, keep creating and keep making a difference in this world.” Because that is not something you do, it is who you are.
You are the message. You are the strategy. And your story is not over yet.
