Launch Your Writing Career
Have you ever wanted to share your story with others but didn’t know where to start? In this episode of the WE Corps podcast, Launch Your Writing Career, I’m sharing my own journey of writing my first book, Live Your New Story, and giving you a step-by-step guide to help you do the same. Whether you’re thinking about writing a book, starting a blog, or just curious about what it takes, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know.
Why Writing Matters
Writing has given me a way to process my experiences and connect with others. As an entrepreneur, sharing my story has helped me reach people in a meaningful way. Writing can be empowering and, more importantly, it gives you the chance to connect with readers who might be going through similar experiences. If you’ve been wanting to start writing, this episode will help you get there.
Key Steps to Start Your Writing Journey
1. Just Start Writing
My own journey began with short blog posts, where I shared insights from my life as an entrepreneur. In this episode, I talk about how important it is to start small. Your writing doesn’t have to be perfect—just focus on putting your thoughts into words. The more you write, the easier it gets to find your voice and grow your confidence.
2. Tell Your Story
Sharing personal challenges or big life changes can be incredibly healing. Writing about my own struggles helped me process them, and it’s allowed me to connect deeply with my readers. People resonate with real stories, so don’t be afraid to be vulnerable and honest.
3. Writing and Publishing a Book
Writing Live Your New Story was a journey of self-discovery for me. In this episode, I talk about how I approached writing and self-publishing. I offer practical tips like setting small, manageable goals, creating an outline, and keeping a consistent schedule. It’s important to have realistic expectations and focus on the joy of sharing your story, rather than on perfection.
4. Building Confidence
Writing my book changed my career and gave me more confidence as a coach and speaker. By putting my story into words, I gained a better understanding of my beliefs and a clearer way to share them. Writing can be an empowering journey for anyone, and it may just become one of the most fulfilling things you do.
