I had a very critical moment in my life where I almost committed suicide. It was a really dark time for me. When I chose to live, I became a new person and I felt this call.
I was stuck. I was stuck in a lot of fear. And I think this is a place that entrepreneurs get stuck in, right? It's like we make all these wild decisions and we follow our dreams and then it's like the end of the road. And I chose to delete fear out of my body. Like fear had no place inside of me. I made $200,000 in a month. I made $700,000 in six months.
And then since that day, I've made $1.9 million. And that moment, burning the ships, changed my whole business. For 20 years, I struggled with almost daily suicide ideation. And...
Hello.
Yeah. So my name is Kira Brinson, and I'm the founder of JOA Publishing, the founder of the Mosaic Network, which is a business school for women. I'm a five-time author. I have a TED Talk, but I'm a single mom of five kids, and I love helping people write their most important books, building the businesses that are going to go out and change the world with their message.
Yeah, it's not been an easy journey, right? It's been filled with a lot of risk, a lot of fear, and a lot of miracles. So I would just say I was a massage therapist for 20 years.
and i had a very critical moment in my life where i almost committed suicide it's a really dark time for me when i chose to live i became a new person and i felt this call and the call led me to build a publishing house and to write books and then it soon led me to helping authors write their books
Yeah. So 18 months ago, I was running an event in Arizona and I had $5,000 left in my bank account. It was only a few months after my marriage had ended. It's the first time I'd ever had to financially provide for five kids plus an employee, like all these employees. And I was stuck. I was stuck in a lot of fear. And I think this is a place that entrepreneurs get stuck in, right?
It's like we make all these wild decisions and we follow our dreams. And then it's like the end of the road. And this was my burn the ships moment. And I don't have family that has money. It's not like I was like, well, I'll just call Aunt Sue. Like nobody was coming to save me. And that moment made me burn the ships. And so I took a loan from Stripe.
And that was to pay my employees. And I chose to delete fear out of my body. And that decision, like fear had no place inside of me. I made $200,000 in a month and I made $700,000 in six months. And then since that day, I've made 1.9 million. And that moment burning the ships changed my whole business.
So burn the ships is there is I don't even know what the story is, but I think somebody said it was Columbus and they moved to find the new land and he burned all the ships so no one could ever go back. Right. And so the burn the ship moment for me is like I knew right then because it was this moment because I was a massage therapist for 20 years.
I was like, do I just give up all of my businesses and go back to being a massage therapist? Like, I'm sure I could pay the rent and buy food. Or do I take a chance like two feet in with everything that I've spent years building? I'm going to take this loan and I'm going to run like hell. And that was it. Like I burned the ships like there was no going back.
There was never the door had been sealed.
Ooh, yeah, I actually, I do feel this. I feel like it's like the car is moving.
Right? Like, it felt like for so long, it was like, how do I get the tires to move?
How do I just get the car to move? And I'm like, oh, the car is moving.
Now where do we want to go?
I have big visions, obviously. I have huge visions of helping the top leaders in the world receive their books the way that I do it. Because I know if I can find somebody like you or somebody who's got this huge following and I teach you the method that I help people write their books, the most important messages come through. That's how we reach more people.
And books are the number one way to have a legacy.
