Description

In this episode, I’m giving a behind-the-scenes look at a project that is near and dear to my heart, writing a full-length book! I’m diving into why this project is so special to me and what my journey has been like so far, including the ups, downs, and bumps in the road.    I’m also sharing a huge mindset shift that helped me get fully aligned with my book concept and navigate the no’s I’m getting from publishing agents. Plus, some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned so far during this process. This episode is full of important lessons that can be applied not just to writing a book, but to running a prosperous nonprofit!    Read the podcast transcript here.   Episode Summary In this episode, you’ll get an update on a special project that’s been on my heart for a long time, writing a full-length book, including: Why this project is so special to me (1:45) Exploring different publishing options (5:55) A huge mindset shift (10:45) Navigating the no’s (15: 30) The biggest lessons I’ve learned so far (17:00)   Teasers “What is it that I want to be known for? And how does this, maybe even more importantly, how does this tie to my business?” “I'm not very patient. And once I get an idea, I'm ready to go. I'm ready to implement. I'm ready to do it. That has served me really well in many ways and also can really keep me from doing my best work, honestly.” “Just because you think you're not an official writer doesn't mean that you can't get a traditionally published book.” “I probably walked 30 to 40 miles in total when I was in Puerto Rico and I got a whole new idea of a way to shape and structure the book. It makes so much more sense and is going to reach a much wider audience.”   Resources The Best Tools for an Efficient & Prosperous Nonprofit: https://100degreesconsulting.com/tools/  Keep up to date with the podcast: @100degreesconsulting Follow Stephanie on Instagram: @stephanie.skry/  Connect with Stephanie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanieskryzowski/  Visit the podcast page: https://100degreesconsulting.com/book-update    Want more of the podcast?
