This Friday: Career Transitions and Becoming an Author, Part 2

We're continuing the conversation and going deep on finances, building a platform, finding an agent and more.

Hi All! If you missed it, last week

Chela Davison

and I had the first of a two-part conversation about career transitions and becoming an author.

Topics We Covered in Part 1:

• When I got the feeling advertising wasn’t for me, and how I started to work on writing and imagining being an author

• The work I did to start building a “platform” and the steps

• What “following the breadcrumbs” looks like in following a new pursuit

• The importance of relationship building and connections

• The importance of knowing yourself, specifically, your tolerance for risk and ambiguity, your comfort with “putting yourself out there,” and other factors specific to your pursuit

• Why being “introverted” or “extroverted” probably doesn’t matter when it comes to something you really want to do

• The fantasy of being an author versus the reality

• How I financially made the leap

You can watch or listen to the full replay here.
