“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
–Maya Angelou
Worried about the threat of AI on your writing business? Anxious about a possible recession and its impact on your income?
You’re not alone. There’s enough happening in the world to keep everyone up at night. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 30-year career is that how you respond to the current and potential challenges will determine how well you come out on the other end.
