Control Your Career

Writing A Career Book: Updates, Breakthroughs & Lessons Learned

Listen

Description

I'm pulling back the curtain on my book-writing journey! In this bonus episode, I'm sharing an honest update on my upcoming book based on the Control Your Career process: what I've written so far, what I've learned, and why writing a book is WAY harder than I expected.

Part 1 is for anyone curious about the book itself: what it's about, who it's for, and why I think it's different from every other career book out there. (Spoiler: it actually meets you where you are, not where some career expert thinks you should be.)

Part 2 is for my fellow writers, authors, and coaches: I'm getting real about the writing process, why I needed a writing coach to stop procrastinating, and the breakthrough that changed everything about how I approached writing the first section of my book.

Whether you're a potential reader or a writer in the trenches, this episode is for you.

What You'll Learn:

FOR READERS/POTENTIAL CLIENTS:

  • What the Control Your Career book is about and how it's structured (two-part format!)
  • Why Stage 1 (Realistic Reality) is the foundation of everything
  • How this book is different: it meets you where YOU are, not where career advice thinks you should be
  • Why I'm not using AI to write (and what I AM using it for)

FOR WRITERS & AUTHORS:

  • Why I wrote more in 1.5 months than I did in 8 months last year (hint: accountability)
  • The content breakthrough that changed my entire writing approach
  • How to balance book writing with running a business (still figuring this out!)
  • Progress over perfection: why a bad first draft is better than no draft
  • The role of AI in my writing process (spoiler: planning yes, writing no)

A Note on This Episode:

This is a transparent, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to write a book while running a business. If you're considering writing a book, working with a writing coach, or just curious about the creative process, I hope this gives you some insight (and maybe some motivation).
