Creating Profitable Pages: How Dr. Lena Payton-Webb Helps Experts Become Authors

by Excellence Insider Staff on
Dr. Lena Payton-Webb

Dr. Lena Payton-Webb is a visionary publisher, accomplished author, and multi-award-winning entrepreneur dedicated to transforming expertise into profitable published works. As the founder of Blu Impressions Publishing LLC, Lena helps authors, coaches, and business owners create impactful books, journals, and custom coloring books that expand their brands and generate revenue.

A retired Army veteran with 21 years of service, Lena brings discipline and leadership to the literary world. Her work has been featured in CBS, Fox News, NBC, Business Weekly, and more, earning her multiple accolades, including the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award.

Beyond publishing, Lena is a sought-after speaker, coach, and creative strategist, inspiring others to share their stories and expertise with the world. With over 30 years in design and digital arts, she blends creativity and strategy to deliver high-quality, results-driven publishing solutions.

Her motto: “Creating books that deliver results.”

The Inspiration Behind Blu Impressions Publishing

Dr. Lena Payton-Webb’s journey to Blu Impressions Publishing is one of resilience, transformation, and purpose. A retired Army veteran, award-winning publisher, and accomplished digital artist, Lena’s mission was shaped by a deeply personal battle.

During her fight with cancer, the chemotherapy treatments took a devastating toll—she lost her eyesight and was declared legally blind for four years. Determined to regain her vision, she used coloring books featuring characters like Big Bird and Barney to retrain her eyes, slowly rebuilding her ability to see. However, as she regained her sight, she realized something was missing—there were no coloring books that looked like her or truly resonated with her experiences.

That realization sparked a new purpose: if she struggled to find books that reflected her, others must be facing the same challenge. She used her gifts in graphic design and storytelling to create books that were not only visually engaging but also meaningful, impactful, and representative of diverse voices.

Who We Serve and the Problems We Solve

Blu Impressions Publishing is called to serve coaches, speakers, and entrepreneurs who have valuable expertise but struggle to package it into a structured, profitable, and marketable format. We help them extract their knowledge, refine their message into clear frameworks, and transform it into high-impact published assets—such as journals, workbooks, and self-help books.

The problem we solve is the gap between expertise and execution—many industry leaders have powerful insights but lack the time, strategy, or publishing know-how to turn them into books that build authority, attract clients, and create multiple streams of income.

We provide a seamless, professional publishing experience that ensures their content is polished, profitable, and positioned for success.

Overcoming Challenges in the Early Stages

Let’s be real—limiting beliefs were my biggest challenge. I didn’t just battle them; I wrestled with them, fought them, and for a long time, I let them win.

When I lost my eyesight from chemotherapy, the world as I knew it went dark—literally and figuratively. I had spent years seeing possibilities for others, helping them create, design, and build their brands, but when I couldn’t even see my own reflection, doubt crept in. Who was I now? Could I still create? Could I still lead? My mind whispered every reason why I couldn’t, shouldn’t, and wouldn’t succeed.

But then came Big Bird and Barney. Yep, the same characters kids learn their ABCs from became my teachers. I used coloring books to retrain my eyes—starting with simple shapes and large outlines, forcing my vision to come back one page at a time. And with every stroke of color, I wasn’t just regaining my sight—I was reclaiming my vision for my life.

Then, a new challenge hit me: representation. Here I was, flipping through books, searching for images that looked like me, felt like me, spoke to my experience—and I came up empty. That was my wake-up call. If I couldn’t find it for myself, how many other people were struggling to see themselves in the books they bought?

That’s when I turned my challenge into my calling. I stopped waiting for permission, stopped waiting for the “right time,” stopped playing small. I created the books I wished existed, and I built a company that gave others the platform to share their stories, expertise, and legacy.

I had to shift my mindset from survival to success—no more waiting, no more doubting. I leaned into my gifts, trusted my experience, and took bold action. And now? Now, I get to help coaches, speakers, and entrepreneurs push past their own limiting beliefs and create books that don’t just sit on shelves, but open doors, build authority, and change lives.

Because here’s what I know for sure: Your pain can fuel your purpose. Your challenges can become your calling. And your story—the one you’ve been afraid to tell—is the very thing that will set you, and others, free.

What Makes Blu Impressions Publishing Different?

Dr. Lena Payton-Webb’s personal experience of overcoming adversity has given her a deep understanding of what it means to create something that truly speaks to an audience. That’s why at Blu Impressions Publishing, we don’t just create books—we create results, amplify impact, and transform stories into Profitable Pages.

Through our work, we help our clients: • Attract high-value clients • Establish authority in their industry • Create additional income streams • Leave a lasting legacy through their message

Lena’s journey from losing her sight to gaining a vision for change is at the heart of everything we do—because when your story is told the right way, it has the power to inspire, impact, and generate income.

What’s Coming Up Next?

We’re excited to launch our 3-Day Book Writing Camp, designed for entrepreneurs, coaches, and consultants who are ready to stop talking about writing a book and actually get it DONE.

In just three days, you’ll have at least 80% of your book completed—structured, outlined, and written with clarity and purpose. This isn’t about endless brainstorming or second-guessing. It’s a fast-action, results-driven experience that moves you from concept to completion.

• No fluff. No procrastination. Just execution. • Expert guidance and proven frameworks. • A focused, supportive environment to get it DONE.

If you’re serious about turning your knowledge into a published asset that builds your authority, attracts clients, and creates new income streams—this is for you!

Also, we just returned from an incredible experience in Ghana, where we were honored to be part of the Voices of Change Leadership Conference. The impact was life-changing, and the mission to inspire, empower, and transform communities continues!

Upcoming Event:

  • LitCon Author Expo and Awards
    Mobile, AL – Bishop State College
    April 26, 2025

Dr. Lena Payton-Webb is more than a publisher—she’s a visionary helping others turn their knowledge into legacy. Whether through books, coaching, or speaking, her mission is clear: to help experts make an impact, build authority, and create Profitable Pages.

How Brenda Payne Built Her Empire Beyond the Runway

by Excellence Insider Staff on
Brenda Payne

Beauty, when wielded with purpose, becomes something far more potent than mere aesthetics. Just ask Brenda Payne. Her knowing smile on this month’s Excellence cover hints at someone who’s discovered this truth firsthand. Payne has quietly—then not so quietly—rewritten the rules of an industry notorious for its rigidity.

“I never set out to be revolutionary,” Payne explains with a slight eye-roll, fiddling with her silver bracelet as afternoon light filters through her Manhattan office windows. She pauses, searching for the right words. “I simply wanted autonomy over my career and the ability to define success on my own terms. God knows nobody else was going to do it for me.”

What began as a conventional modeling career has morphed, somewhat haphazardly at first, into a multifaceted empire. Payne, who started modeling at 17 (though she swears she lied about her age to her first agent), quickly recognized the industry’s suffocating limitations. Her coffee grows cold as she recalls those early days. Rather than accepting the traditional path—that brief, glittering window of visibility followed by the industry’s favorite word: “next”—she strategically leveraged her platform to build something that wouldn’t vanish with the season’s trends.

“The runway was just the beginning,” she says with characteristic directness. “I saw it as a launching pad, not a destination.”

By 25, Payne had founded her first business venture, a skincare line developed from her grandmother’s natural remedies and modernized with cutting-edge science. Within three years, the brand secured distribution in major retailers worldwide. This was followed by a wellness app that has garnered over four million downloads, a podcast exploring the intersection of beauty and entrepreneurship, and most recently, a venture capital fund supporting women-led startups.

Her daily routine—which she admits she sometimes throws out the window during fashion week—reveals the discipline behind her success. Rising around 5:15 AM (she hates even her own rules sometimes), Payne begins with meditation and messy, stream-of-consciousness journaling, followed by a workout with her trainer of eight years. “Consistency creates excellence… or at least keeps me sane,” she notes, suppressing a yawn. “The quiet morning hours are where I connect with myself before my phone explodes and everyone wants a piece of me.”

Industry insiders—the ones who’ll actually speak candidly off the record—point to Payne’s stubborn authenticity as her most valuable asset. “What makes Brenda exceptional isn’t just her business savvy, it’s her refusal to compartmentalize,” explains fashion editor Sophia Chen, who’s known Payne since her second Vogue shoot. Chen leans forward, elbows on the table. “She brings her whole self to everything she does—vulnerability alongside strength, ambition alongside compassion. And trust me, that’s rare as hell in this business.”

With over 3.8 million followers across platforms, Payne’s digital presence has become as influential as her physical one. You can follow her on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, where she shares everything from behind-the-scenes glimpses of photo shoots to candid discussions about entrepreneurship challenges.

This holistic approach extends to her advocacy work. Payne has been outspoken about transparency in modeling contracts, sustainable practices in the beauty industry, and creating pathways for underrepresented groups in fashion. Her foundation has provided scholarships to over 200 young women pursuing careers in business and creative fields.

“Success without purpose feels hollow,” Payne reflects, scrolling briefly through her packed calendar. “I’m interested in redefining not just how we look, but how we operate in the world.” Her latest TikTok series on ethical business practices has garnered millions of views, proving that substance can indeed be viral.

As fashion weeks transform and the personal brand becomes increasingly monetizable, Payne stands as both pioneer and mentor. Her masterclasses on personal branding routinely sell out, with participants ranging from aspiring models to established entrepreneurs seeking reinvention.

“The greatest misconception is that beauty and intelligence exist in opposition,” she says, just after posting a quick story to her Instagram thanking her team. “My career is built on refusing that false choice.”

At 34, with achievements spanning multiple industries, Payne remains refreshingly forward-looking, if a bit restless. When asked about her proudest accomplishment, she stares out the window for a moment, then smiles—a genuine one this time, not the camera-ready version. “It hasn’t happened yet,” she admits. “That probably sounds ungrateful, doesn’t it? But the best part of creating your own path is that there’s always new territory to explore.”

Our interview runs over by twenty minutes. Her assistant hovers nervously at the door, but Payne waves her away. “Five more minutes,” she mouths. In that small gesture—prioritizing completion over convenience—I glimpse the real source of her success. For Brenda Payne, the destination has never been the point. It’s the messy, beautiful, complicated journey that captivates her—and now, by extension, the rest of us.
