Michele blogs and podcasts over at lovebasedbiz.com. Today we’re talking about her latest book, Love-Based Money and Mindset: Make the Money You Desire Without Selling Your Soul. She also writes psychological thrillers, with her third book in the series releasing soon.
We discuss:
- Why authors should shift their mindset from thinking of writing as a hobby
and to embrace their writing as a business. Michele encourages fiction writers, not to wait for the perfect time to start writing. Even if all you have is 15 minutes a day to work on your book, it could change your life.
- Michele says her biggest regret, is that it took her mom dying, to get her act together so she started to take her writing seriously. She invites writers listening, to don’t wait for something drastic to happen, before you begin to write those stories you’ve been dreaming of writing.
- Tips on how you can transition from your full time job to being a full time
author, by becoming a part-time copywriter. Copywriting is still an excellent skill to have as an author.
- How Michele’s Love-Based book series explores how to market your books with
love-based emotions, instead of fear-based emotions.
- How you can start to change your attitude so you can embrace love and abundance and attract money to you. Get clear on your ‘go to’ default emotion(worry, anger, etc), and instead of defau
lting to the multiple reactions(procrastinating, drinking too much, starting a fight on social media, etc), stop yourself, and break the self-sabotage(example: fear stops you from doing what you need to do in your business that day, or having too many glasses of wine at night and you are groggy the next day).
- How to establish a routine to tell your muse that you’re ready to sit down and write. Whether that’s getting a cup of tea, lighting a candle, putting on your writing music, or whatever works for you to inspire yourself that it’s time to write.
- Tips for writers that feel worry or self-doubt around their books. If you have a habit of asking yourself, is anyone going to read my book? If you feel this emotion, don’t try to talk yourself out of it, but instead let yourself experience the worry – it’s an emotion that just wants to be felt. Once you’ve felt it – and most likely it won’t feel very good – the negative emotion will go away.
