Igniting Souls Podcast With Kary Oberbrunner

Dan Miller tells a story about a guy he worked with who took a temporary position at a bank while he figured things out. That was 14 years ago. Join me as Dan, author of 48 Days To the Work (and Life) You Love and I talk about some of the big questions like: Are you working in your area of competence or your area of genius and how to find your own unique zone of genius. Can you change what happens in your life by controlling what you think about? Can you love your life and hate your job?

Up until now, most people have written in isolation, and that's very hard to do. Over the last 16 years, I have worked with over 250,000 authors, and I've struggled with this myself, particularly when writing my latest book, Unhackable. We've been testing a concept over the last month or so in which writers come together around a single goal: to write their books, and we've found that the accountability, community and clarity found in a community just for writers makes a huge difference in your ability to crush your word count and get your book done. That's why we've launched Writer Academy Elite, a community for writers. Here's a peek inside. Find out more at http://writeracademyelite.com/

Can writing a letter to yourself actually make an impact on your ability to keep going when you feel like giving up? It absolutely can. I have the authors in Author Academy Elite do this exercise. I call it: "Fictitious Follower, Imaginery Impact." You write a letter to yourself from a Fictitious Follower about the Imaginery Impact your book has on them. It helps you see that your book has an audience and motivates you to keep moving to have that impact on them. Join us for more like this at https://authoracademyelite.com

If you are an author, coach, speaker or entrepreneur posting your books, programs, coaching packages and courses, NEVER ask for donations on your website.

We may think we're afraid of failure, rejection or even success. But that's not it. I've worked with 250,000 authors over the last 16 years, and there is one real reason we're afraid to write a book is that it will change us. We will become someone new in the process, and that's scary. So here's how to overcome it.
