The Book: Getting Started on Your Dream-- Replay Available Now!
"The Book" Replay Available for 48 Hours
What an amazing morning! It was truly inspiring and empowering to host "the Book"panel of 6 heart-and mission-focused authors with Tessa and Kimberly from the Revolutionary Living Institute.
This content-rich, sales-free call was powerful, and many folks I've talked to since this morning have told me that they feel ready to dive in to their next big writing project!
On the call, we talked about getting started on your book and first steps, the role of blogging in your book writing process, outlining (or not), taking holy risks in your writing, moving towards your fears and overcoming resistance... So many things.
The replay is available for the next 48 hours here.
Here's a little bit about the super heras on the call today:
