"My Story"

I know from personal experience why you haven't completed your book. Bottom line, it's hard. Desire is not enough. It took me 3 long years to finish my 2x best-seller Dance in the Sun: Being the Authentic You. Here’s a secret that’s not so secret, it took 2 ½ years to write the first half. However, I wrote and published the other half (another 30,000 words) in 6-months! What made the difference? C.O.A.C.H.I.N.G

There I was trying to write a book. Keyword is trying, because the process felt painful and overwhelming. Can you relate? I had been coaching and speaking for a few years at the time. Now I wanted to expand my brand by building credibility through publishing a book. Not to mention, my mentor, husband, a college professor, and maybe a couple of strangers on the street (not really, but you get the point) had been strongly urging (harassing) me for years to share my story. Does this sound familiar? You want to write a book or been told you should write one, but can't seem to get done.

For me, the turning point came when almost every time I reached out to a news outlet to be a guest, they had the same question…”What’s the title of your book?” As you can imagine, once they found out I was not an author, the communication pretty much died on the vine. There's no way of getting around it, books elevate your brand and voice. They make audiences stand up and pay attention.

So, there I was focused on getting a book written in 90 days. The first week, I wrote a few thousand words. My pace quickly went from a run out the gate, to a walk, a crawl, and finally a collapse. I was stuck and overwhelmed. What do I write next? Who will read my book? Am I targeting my audience correctly? How will I sell the book? I struggled for 2 ½ years. Literally as a last resort, and not believing I really needed the help, because I could do it on my own…I decided to work with a coach. Months later (not years), I became a published author! That’s the power of getting the right coach.

Most people who want to write a book never do. I know these days, it seems everyone has one. The data tells us that's not true. According to a recent survey, “81 percent of Americans feel they have a book in them -- and that they should write it.” Life, lack of message clarity, overwhelm, confusion on what to do next, and even finances are all excuses to why you haven’t got your book published. Remember, I know from experience. You do have a choice however. You can stay stuck, and ultimately regret not ever writing a book. Or make the decision to be all in and get the support you need.

There’s an audience out there waiting on your special message, solution or experience. Don’t let them down.
