Summary

If you’ve ever considered writing a book, here’s what you need to know If you have been listening for the past few months, you’ve probably heard me mention that I’m writing a book. This has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and with a lot of hard work and a little help from the universe, it’s happening.  I have been in full-swing book writing mode, and as a ‘first-timer,’ I’m learning a lot. It’s been quite the process, and there’s much more to it than I initially anticipated -- but let me tell you, it’s been incredibly rewarding to see this little dream of mine come to life.  Perhaps what I’m most excited about is the fact that I know this book is going to help so many women find the confidence to leave behind what’s no longer serving them, and move into what lights them up. To me, that makes all the latte-fueled early mornings worth it. And because writing a book can be a game-changer for your content marketing strategy, I figured that I would give you the full report on what my experience has been like so far. In this episode, you’ll hear:  My inspiration for writing this book, and what pushed me to make it happen What was most important to me in a publisher, and how I chose one What the book writing process has been like and the challenges I’ve had My experience working with a book editor If you’ve ever considered writing a book, you’re definitely going to want to check out this episode -- so grab your pen and paper, and tune in! Here’s a glance at this episode... [05:09] The inspiration for my book comes from an avatar that I serve — a woman who is still in her 9 to 5 job, but knows there’s more out there for her. [08:53] It's my goal to give women (and men) permission to make a pivot in their life and leave whatever doesn't serve them anymore.  [09:24] I also wanted to show people how to launch and grow a successful online business once they take the leap into entrepreneurship.  [11:58] I have two agents who helped me navigate meetings with publishers. I ended up landing a deal with Hay House, who gave me a great advance.  [15:16] Rehashing stories from the past and digging up past experiences was a much bigger challenge than I thought it would be. [20:37] Get on the waitlist for Two Weeks Notice to get fabulous bonuses, the latest details, and be part of the launch.
