“We need to be creative in our thoughts on how we use our talents and bring them into the world.” I first heard Michael Cartwright share this quote on the 1 Million Cups stage back in August. Having both been scheduled to speak at TEDx Bismarck, I was excited to meet him! His ability to connect with an audience and make you feel like you’re the only one in the room is something I greatly admire about him. In this episode, we talk about what it has been like to prepare for being a TEDx Speaker – the meltdowns and the letdowns of postponement – as well as the insight he has gained as a musician for twenty years. Michael Cartwright is multidiscipline professional musician: trumpeter, vocalist, educator and bandleader. He is the current Music Director for the Los Angeles based cover band ProjectM and creator of FrontmanTalk, an advice and coaching forum for musicians. Cartwright holds a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern California’s Thorton School of Music and has recently moved to North Dakota after making music for two decades in Los Angeles, CA.

“Business IS personal. How you run it IS personal.” These are the wise words of my friend, Kim Nagle. We have a vulnerable conversation about her 30 years as a business owner, how she found hope again after hitting rock bottom, and about telling yourself the truth of your business and life. In her book, The DAMN Plan To Find Freedom, Love and Money In Your Business, Kim uses her very approachable storytelling style, no excuses attitude and 30 years of entrepreneurial experience to call each of us to answer the question, “Why haven’t you done what you said you would always do?” Kim truly believes that people are capable of taking authority over their lives if they have a DAMN Plan. Kim Nagle is a keynote speaker, author and business coach. Whether inspiring from the stage or sharing actionable next-steps and tools in coaching and training sessions, Kim is dedicated to supporting women who want to build profitable businesses they love. She has trained and coached 1000’s resulting in 275 clients launching successful enterprises. When she isn’t helping others achieve their dreams, she spends as much time as she can with her five granddaughters – ages 10-15 – sewing, gardening and making the impossible possible. Kim says, “There is nothing more motivating than having someone look up to you, watching to see if you are doing what you said you would to achieve your dream.”  Connect with Kim: Pre-order your copy of Kim’s Book, The DAMN Plan For Finding Freedom, Love and Money In Your Business at https://kimnagle.com/pre-order-the-damn-plan/ Facebook page: Kim Nagle @thedamnplan LinkedIn page: Kim Nagle https://www.linkedin.com/in/thedamnplan/ YouTube Channel: Kim Nagle https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4CNqm31zZ2f3ZTzATAdPWg Quotes from this episode: “Match your skills with what people need.” – Kim Nagle “The DAMN Plan is about the truth…the truth about your business…the truth about your life.” -Kim Nagle “You can’t be everything to everyone.” -Kim Nagle Let’s hang out on Instagram!

Have you ever wanted to write a book? I started writing my first book when I was in 8th grade. It was a murder mystery. I got to chapter seven and then gave up because it was taking too long. That book never saw the light of day. The second book I tried writing was around 2005. I was working as a Property Manager and worked 40 hours a week. The job really only took 25 to 30 hours a week, leaving me with 10 hours to twiddle my thumbs and hope the phone rang so I can answer questions. That left a ton of time on my hands. So I started writing my second book. It was going to be called “The Road Less Traveled.” I barely wrote a chapter. I spent most of my time trying to see myself through the eyes of my friends growing up so I interviewed them to gain perspective. I wasn’t exactly thrilled at what I found. And I certainly didn’t know myself well enough back then – I clearly needed to dive into personal development so I could get comfortable with my own thoughts so I COULD actually write. Because the truth is this: I was so afraid of what others would think of me, that I couldn’t follow through on the writing. Or even coming up with a concept to write about. I self-published my first actual book in 2011. How did I go from being afraid of what others would think in 2005 to writing my book, publishing it, and selling it in 2011? It took a ton of personal growth and development. People come up to me all the time and tell me they want to write a book. I’ve lost track of how many people I’ve heard say that. Or they say something like, “People always tell me I should write a book because I have so much life wisdom.” Writing a book is hard. And, no offense, but I typically don’t believe people when they say they want to write a book one day because the reality of writing it is harder than the romanticized idea of it. And the majority of people do not have the discipline to follow through. Now, that statement probably just turned a bunch of you off and made you feel like you can’t succeed so why even try. But for those of you that got CHALLENGED by that statement, hang on. This episode is for YOU: the one that really really really does want to write a book and is finally ready to start. There’s a difference between WANTING to write a book some day and already working on writing a book. Today’s episode is going to be a raw, no BS guide to what it takes to actually WRITE your first book. Not how to publish it. Now how to market it. Now how to design the cover and get people excited about it. No. How to write it. Because if you do all the other things but never actually write the content, you will fail. You will be living in a fantasy only. So I’m going to give you some tips to help you WRITE your first book, and some pitfalls to watch out for that will trick you into thinking you are writing, when you are actually…not. TIPS TO HELP YOU WRITE YOUR FIRST BOOK: 1. Journal daily. Writers, write. Every day. And journaling is how you start. If you want to write a book about the lessons you’ve learned in life, you’ve got to get real with yourself and write it all in your journal first. You will never write a book if you can’t process your own thoughts and feelings. 2. Start a blog. This helps you put content out there that connects with your potential audience. It gives you a chance to practice being judged by readers (you’ve got to grow a thick skin if you’re going to write a book), but it also helps you learn what your readers want to know. 3. Read a TON of books! All kinds. Non-fiction. Fiction. Books about topics you aren’t sure about, don’t agree with, or even people that see things differently than you do. 4. Do a 30-Day Blog Challenge on 1 topic and turn that content into your book. This is how I wrote my first Bible Study, UNASHAMED. It is a great way to get readers involved in it too! Then you can have conversations with them in the comments of your blog and learn how they are identifying with the content.

“We never truly have control over our lives. The trick is to learn to release control, embrace the chaos from time to time, and treasure the moments of peace in between.” ~Maria Grace Today’s podcast guest is a new friend of mine, and I know she will be an encouragement to you as you listen to her journey of owning a business, adopting a child, and managing it all in times of uncertainty. Grab your coffee and let’s glean some wisdom from Maria Grace! About Maria Grace and how to connect with her: A Virginia Tech graduate, Maria achieved magna cum laude status in her International Studies degree with a Business concentration, and it was during her senior year of college that she was first introduced to – and fell in love with – the field of marketing. Within a month from graduation, she bought her first house, got married, and moved across the state to settle in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Maria’s marketing career began when she was promoted at the age of 21 from an Administrative Assistant position to the Director of Communications. At the same time, she started her own business, which would enable her to leave her full-time job and work solely for herself just a few years later. Maria’s dual experience in a company and as an entrepreneur have given her valuable tools and insights, enabling her to serve small businesses and creative entrepreneurs in the areas of social media, search engine optimization, and general marketing. With clients ranging from a Chick-fil-A franchise to a feature film, no project is too diverse to market effectively and create an active, engaged audience. In her spare time, Maria goes on sushi dates with her husband, chases the daughter she was blessed to adopt in 2017, trains for marathons, and reads historical fiction.
