Writing A Book To Inspire Change with Lauren Dreher Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

Lauren Dreher was born with a birthmark which was removed after many different procedures. She now has scars which for a long time she let define her (and not in a great way). She shifted this thinking and found confidence to use her experiences to help others look past their physical imperfections to find their own confidence.

Getting the guts to finally put herself out there and inspire others through her experience has taken Lauren a long time. This year, she published her book Go With Your Gut. Her passion is to help people shift their mindset. Lauren wants to teach people the tips, habits, and tools she's learned and use daily to keep her mindset in check….and positive.

Lauren's Tips:

Develop a detailed outline. Organize your thoughts, stories, etc; so you know how you want the book to flow.
Know the message you want your audience to take away from the book.
Just write! Find the time to sit down and write. Even if you don't feel like it, just get it down.

Write By Focusing On The People You Want To Help with Anza Goodbar Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

Anza Goodbar is a serial entrepreneur, John Maxwell certified coach, life design strategist, trainer, motivational speaker, and 7x best-selling author. After experiencing financial setbacks in 2008, with just $27 in her bank account, Anza opened up her first online business. Within six months, she created a recession-proof six-figure business with multiple streams of income. Today, she helps women whose lives have been interrupted by COVID-19 restructure, retool, and revitalize their life strategies to overcome the challenges that come from working at home and juggling e-learning with their kids. She teaches them how to build six-figure businesses based on their skills, experience, and passions that provide flexibility and financial freedom.

Anza's Tips:

It's going to be an amazing way to connect to your audience as a person.
Having a book takes you out of the friend zone because potential clients already know that you are an authority in your field.
It gives you so many different opportunities including the chance to network at vendor and author events and meet your audience at book signings.
Publishing a book gives you credibility, opens doors, boosts confidence, and makes an impact.
