I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “dress for the job you want”…(which in my opinion is quite flawed) or perhaps, “act as if”. The idea of preparing in order to call the right opportunities in can be said many ways. But the truth in all of it? Do the groundwork now.
The same goes for media and books–in fact, the right time to be focusing on media is before your book comes out–and even better, before you even pitch it. 
In this week’s episode of Bound + Determined I’m chatting with Paula Rizzo, best-selling author and Emmy-award winning television producer for nearly 20 years. She has produced health, wellness, and lifestyle segments with a range of top experts, including JJ Virgin, Jillian Michaels, and Deepak Chopra.
She’s also the author of Listful Thinking: Using Lists to be More Productive, Highly Successful and Less Stressed, which has been translated into 12 languages and has been featured on many media outlets including Business Insider, Entrepreneur, Brides and Oprah.com’s list of “Self Help Books That Actually Help.”
Her latest book Listful Living: A List-making Journey to a Less Stressed You was released in 2019
