#55: How The Heck Do You Write A Book? – Vicky Quinn Fraser

mardi 29 octobre 2024 • Durée 47:01

If you’re anything like me, you sometimes daydream about publishing your own book, but you never actually tried doing it because of that tiny voice inside your head telling you that you have nothing of value to share, at least not in this format.

This is exactly why I brought Vicky Quinn Fraser to the podcast. She is a book writing coach and she has helped dozens of clients get their books out into the world.

Vicky talks about the importance of finding AND using one's voice, the value of private writing, and the concept of micro books as a more approachable way to write. She also shares what the actual process looks like and how she helps her clients overcome all of the well-known roadblocks they encounter along the way.

My favorite thing about this episode is how doable book writing now seems. It’s definitely a lot of work, and it takes time and energy, but it doesn’t seem out of reach anymore.

I hope you’ll feel the same way after listening to this conversation, too.

Enjoy!

Takeaways:

Finding your voice is about courage, not discovery.
Private writing can help clarify thoughts and feelings.
Microbooks make writing more accessible and less daunting.
Clarity is often the biggest struggle for writers, not time.
Curiosity enhances both writing and personal growth.

#46: Embracing Career Pivots as Part of Life – Iesha Small

mardi 27 août 2024 • Durée 53:50

In my opinion, career pivots are such a great topic, but they are not discussed enough in the freelance landscape. This is why I was thrilled to have discovered this week’s guest, Iesha Small, who specializes in career pivots and helps her clients overcome the hurdles they experience along the way. She went through the same thing herself (multiple times, may I add) and is well-equipped to change her clients' lives for the better.

Iesha shares her story of making a career pivot and starting her own business. She discusses the challenges she faced and the decisions she made along the way. She also talks about the types of clients she works with and the common characteristics she has observed in people who want to pivot.

She emphasizes the importance of values, taking small steps, and recognizing one's assets and career capital.

This is one of those episodes I might have to relisten multiple times! Hopefully, you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.

Takeaways:

Making a career pivot requires self-reflection and understanding one's values.
Taking small steps and experimenting can help clarify what one wants to do.
Recognizing and leveraging one's assets and career capital is crucial in a career pivot.
Cast a wider net when reaching out to people and focus on building your personal brand.
Understand the difference between an employee mindset and an entrepreneur mindset.

mardi 6 août 2024 • Durée 49:01

Luca Kozina, a copywriting expert, shares her career journey and transition to self-employment.

She started her career in marketing, but writing has always been her No. 1 skill. So luckily, she discovered copywriting!

She emphasizes the need to elicit emotions and make copy interesting to persuade readers to take action. She also highlights the importance of understanding the client's tone of voice and getting regular feedback to improve the copy.
