Surely this book was written for me…I’m convinced of it. I can’t wait to listen in to this podcast. Jeff Goins first book pushed me out the nest to get writing. Perhaps this one will convince me that it doesn’t have to be perfection to be published.
Yes! There is no such thing as perfect. Keep writing!
Thanks Tammy for the encouragement – I’m pressing onward ๐
You won a book! I’ll email you. Thanks for stopping by!
I loved this book. Jeff read it to me, actually. It was quite pleasant and great content. Great interview, too, Tammy! Love the writer talk!
Thanks! It was good.
I’ve never heard of Jeff Goins. Thank you for introducing him to us! I appreciated so much about the interview – especially how as the interviewer you didn’t interrupt him or make the interview about you as so many interviewers are prone to do! I really hear him saying in several different ways that out legacy and our value comes out of our action. Fear, postponement, stuckness are to be acknowledged and then action needs to follow. I really heard him speak to the value and acceptance of the ordinary. Thank you again! I have signed up to follow him as a result of your interview!
Thanks so much! I love introducing people to Jeff. He’s awesome!
I am excited to read this book. Good job on the interview.
Thanks, Jason. It is really good!
I’m the stuck stay at home mom he was talking about! Lol. Getting 30 visits to my blog is a stellar day but I’m keeping with it. I love what he said about needing permission to do what you know how to do, and that even he has fear. Thank you for having him, the time went by fast!
Thanks, Audra! Don’t get stuck on the numbers. Keep writing and doing what you are called to do.
Getting ready to listen to the podcast interview – I got pulled away for a moment but I can’t wait to listen in now. In fact I know several people that need to hear this too- I’m going to forward it along to them too.
Amazing Tammy. This podcast was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thanks so much for hosting Jeff Goins. I could identify with so many of the common “hang ups” we writers or artists experience. This is definitely one of those podcasts that I will listen to over and over again. Especially on those days when I may be feeling ineffective or stuck in the “in between.”
I’m so glad it helped you. Jeff is always great about being real and authentic. Thanks for your kind words!
The ways you spend your days is the way you spend your life. Stop spending most of your life waiting for things – Great job Jeff! Thanks Tammy!
Loved that line too, Tracie!
You won a book! Woohoo!
Hooooray! That’s so awesome. Thanks so much Tammy!
