Positive on Publishing

Alissa Daire Nelson is the founder of Daire Success Coaching and the author of "From Frustrated To Frickin' Awesome: 4 Steps to Achieve the Success You're Wired For". On this interview we will have the opportunity of learning from Alissa's own publishing process from the perspective of a mother that is bringing her own child, or book, to the world.

Those are the fun nuggets from today's interview:

1) A book is just like a baby, things start to flow and you start to see some results on the second trimester. But things get real on the third semester where you start struggling with everything and questioning every word you write down;

2) Intellectual property, confidence, credibility, visibility, connection, branding and above all else, clarity. Those are the benefits of writing and publishing a book. "Thoughts disentangle as they pass through lips and fingertips" - Michael Hyatt;

3) You are perfectly lopsided. We were never meant to be well rounded and independent.
