On this episode of The Women’s Agency Podcast, host Arlia Hoffman talked with Anita Henderson, who is the author of “The Minimalist Entrepreneur” and is The Author's Midwife. Anita is an experienced business owner, who went from corporate burnout to becoming a successful minimalist entrepreneur.
Anita shared her insights on the role of clarity, simplification, and focus in her business, her challenges with procrastination and perfectionism, and the importance of trusting oneself.
They also explored Anita's role as The Author’s Midwife, talking about her unique process for guiding clients through writing and publishing their books, her effective strategies for overcoming writer's block, and the deep fulfillment she experiences as clients' books come to life.
Tune in to learn more about entrepreneurial minimalism and how to successfully navigate the self-publishing world.
Entrepreneurship wasn’t Anita’s goals list early in her career. She wanted the professional title, the corner office with the window, the assistant right outside her door, the fat paycheck, the expense account, and all the other benefits of corporate success. She got all that, then got burned out. When an unexpected opportunity landed in her lap, she jumped at it. Entrepreneurship called out to her loud and clear. That was more than twenty-five years ago.
Since then, she has started two companies (one a partnership), written several books, and dipped her toe back into corporate a few times before finally retiring from the 9-to-5 more than a decade ago. Anita has also hosted a radio show, an internet TV program, and a podcast.
Known as The Author’s Midwife, she now enjoys guiding C-suite execs and seasoned entrepreneurs to write, publish, and leverage their books to position themselves as authorities. As an author coach and book publishing strategist, she shares the secrets to writing and publishing a bestselling and award-worthy book through her Write Your Life Author Coaching Program.
She is the author of Becoming the Minimalist Entrepreneur: Lessons Learned From My Journey to Work Less, Earn More, and Play More. Her greatest joy as a business owner is learning from her mistakes and failures. There have been many, which means she’s learned a lot. But the growth and rewards have been instrumental in making her the leader and the minimalist entrepreneur she is today.
