The power of your story
Individuals, businesses, and organizations all have a story to tell. Whether you're an author, non-profit leader, or a CEO, we believe in the power of your story to change everything. How well that story is understood, embraced, and shared is crucial to your success.

Publish Your Book
You need a publishing partner who understands the latest technology, market realities, and marketing strategies.
With close to a million new titles published each year, competition for sales and exposure is tremendous. Traditional publishing doesn't work or isn't available for the vast majority of authors. Fewer than 5% of books are published this way. You spend months "pitching" your book before finally giving up and choosing another path. In the meantime, precious exposure and sales have been lost.
What about self-publishing? Most authors who go this route wind up with an inferior product with little to no real marketing strategy or support. A potentially great message gets improperly developed and, as a result, sales and impact are diminished.
Consider HigherLife's unique collaborative publishing model as the ideal balance between traditional and self-publishing. You retain your rights and benefit from a full team of gifted writers, editors, designers, and marketing strategists who know how to artfully craft your message. Our work is customized and tailored to help you achieve your specific goals and reach your unique audience.

Why You’re More Prepared for a New Decade Then You Realize
My wife and I had the joy of spending Christmas in Atlanta with our oldest son David and his very pregnant wife Jeanna, along with our two other sons, their wives, and our three grandkids.

Maybe We are More Like Our Technology Than We Think…
I have a confession. I love my iPhone, my smart TV, my laptop, even my wife’s new car. That’s not my confession, though. Here it is … I admit I’m only using a fraction of the capability of each of these items has to offer. In some cases, I’m not even using their highest and[…]
I Think We’ve Got It Backwards
How often do you dive into your day, your week, your month, full-steam-ahead and then work to fit in some necessary downtime to recharge your emotional, intellectual and physical batteries?

10 Things That Require Zero Talent
There are a lot of things in life that require special skills. Don’t ask me to slam dunk a basketball. I might have the passion and drive necessary to make that happen, but alas, my 6-inch vertical leap just isn’t going to get the job done. I can solder a broken wire – but I[…]
The Power of What Others Say

The Sixth Sense That Every Marketer Needs to Awaken
We all are keenly aware of the five physical senses that allow us to live – sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch. These senses allow us to connect with the physical world around us. However there is a vital sixth sense that each of us have, I’ll call it your “soul sense”. Whether you believe[…]
Your Website – Are there Roaches Under Your Front Door Mat?
Living in Central Florida, seeing a roach is not a big deal. I remember when my wife and I first moved down here from the Chicago area many years ago, we were shocked to see roaches the size of small farm animals! – at least that’s how it seemed to us. Can you imagine going[…]
