We recently connected with Janine Hernandez and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Janine, thank you so much for opening up with us about some important, but sometimes personal topics. One that really matters to us is overcoming Imposter Syndrome because we’ve seen how so many people are held back in life because of this and so we’d really appreciate hearing about how you overcame Imposter Syndrome.
I simply kept showing up. Even when it was scary, even when I didn’t believe in myself, even when I thought I would fail, even when I thought I was being judged. I just kept going and kept showing up. Eventually you will see that your own self limiting beliefs and fears are normal and it’s ok to feel them, sit with them for a bit and then move forward.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I am a book publishing coach! I am the founder of the Book Publishing Academy and I teach writers to self publish their stories! I have a passion for helping people be vulnerable enough to share their stories. I also teach writers how to create their audiobooks. I host yearly book publishing conferences and it is a pleasure to see my authors succeed.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Consistency, accountability and never giving up. I believe that in order to get results in our business we have to show up every day. We must be consistent in everything we do. We also should take accountability for our actions when we need to pivot or make changes. And ultimately to never give up. There will be times where you are ready to throw in the towel but if you hold on just a little bit longer, it will make a world of difference.
Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?
My mentor Christina Howard has been instrumental in me developing my skills, qualities and knowledge for success. She is amazing and I am so grateful for her mentorship and guidance.
