Here is an overview of everything in this video: 

[00:00:09] - Ruth L. Snyder advises clients to be clear about who their audience is and to research the market before writing their next book.  

[00:02:10] - Ruth L. Snyder welcomes you to Choices from Struggle to Strength.  

[00:03:16] - In 2004, Kristy's father was diagnosed with a kidney disorder.  [00:06:01] - According to Kristy, her struggle with depression has made her a stronger person.  

[00:07:54] - Kristy's daughter with autism and her father with cancer have opened a lot of doors for her.  [00:09:22] - Kristy is available to listen and walk through problems with people.  

[00:11:27] - Kristy lost her fiancee to suicide, her cousin to suicide, and talked her autistic son out of suicide.

"I am very passionate about systems, processes, streamlining, communication, and building relationships. And I'm passionate about these components because they support me. I support business owners with designing their businesses around their lifestyle vision and being able to make it a reality."  

This is Celia Faye Meisel's story...  Celia Meisel was burnt out from working seven days a week and decided she needed a change.

Chapter Summaries:  [00:01:20] - I am passionate about systems, processes, streamlining, communication, and building relationships. I also support business owners with designing their businesses around their lifestyle vision and being able to make it a reality so they have more control over their lives. It's so easy to get into reaction mode and it's exhausting.  

[00:02:04] - In the summer of 2013, at the age of 33, when she was working seven days a week, she had a complete health crisis. Because of stress and anxiety, she decided to change her career and start a new one. The struggle made her a stronger person.  

[00:05:43] - How do you learn to listen to yourself more so that you don't go down that path again? I spend a lot of time in the quiet. I like to do self-development work away from business and focus on Celia. Reading books, journaling, taking courses, and listening to inner nudges has helped me to build a life where I trust myself.  

[00:07:23] - In 2008 when she first got into business, she didn't know what coaching was. She hired her first coach and she stepped onto a new path in life. She worked on a sales team for a couple of years and got a high rank in sales and evolved into marketing and business development.  

[00:09:12] - People who are feeling burnt out and need to change should listen to their hearts and have people in their lives that they can talk to where they can express themselves. Every dream needs a leap of faith and practical action steps to get there so people need to be open to seeing them and receiving them.  

[00:11:10] - People need a supportive community to talk to and get perspective from. Online communities like Facebook Groups and Meetupcom social networks are a good place to start. People need to be able to verbalize that they need help and what kind of help they need because people can't read their minds.  

[00:13:48] - She has a free gift for Entrepreneurs: Mindset mantras to fast track and be a multiple six-figure CEO in your business.  

[00:16:32] - Ruth encourages her listeners to check out Celia's website and take advantage of the free gift she offers to help them with their struggles. The struggle is not the end of the story, and it could be the beginning.

I'm Natalie Forest, and I'm passionate about helping people reconnect with their inner talents and gifts. A few years ago, I found myself in a difficult situation where I felt like I was living a strange life that I couldn't escape from. I was becoming less and less able to breathe. It was a big decision to make, but I decided to move back to my hometown with my daughter. It was a scary experience, but it has made me a stronger person. Since then, I have been able to join a transformational leader group that is based on collaboration instead of competition. I have also been able to travel more and connect with my family. My advice to anyone going through a similar experience is to follow your intuition, be grateful, and believe in yourself.  

In this video, you will learn: 

1. The importance of knowing your audience, yourself, and the market when writing a book 

2. The benefits of collaboration over competition 

3. The power of gratitude in difficult times
