What actually separates a successful author from one who stays stuck? You might think it’s raw talent or luck, but after coaching hundreds of writers, Vicky Weber has seen that the real difference lies in learnable habits and a specific mindset. Talent matters, but it is rarely the deciding factor in building a sustainable career.

In this episode of The At Home Author Podcast, Vicky breaks down the patterns of success she’s observed from the front lines of the industry. From the power of staying in "beginner mode" longer than is comfortable to the necessity of separating your identity from your output, she shares how you can shift from a hobbyist approach to a professional career level. You'll learn why successful authors are decisive, emotionally resilient, and proactive about asking for help. If you’ve ever wondered why some authors seem to move faster than others, this episode will show you how to build the foundation needed to reach the finish line.

So many writers hold back from calling themselves "authors" until someone else validates them—an agent offer, a book deal, a published book in hand. But the truth is, the title doesn't come from external approval. It comes from you.

In this episode of The At Home Author Podcast, Vicky Weber unpacks why labels matter, how mindset shapes your confidence, and why you don't need permission to call yourself an author. Drawing from her own journey as both a writer and an agent, she shares how taking your work seriously from the start changes not just how others see you—but how you see yourself.

If you've ever stumbled when introducing yourself, or wondered "Am I really an author yet?", this episode is your reminder that the title is already yours.
