Interview with a Success Story - Alonia Taylor - Episode 5

07/26/22 • 53 min

In this episode, I interview a client Alonia Taylor. She’s a dreamer with a day job. We talk about how I helped her finally take the necessary steps to becoming a professional writer.
Today’s episode is...
“Interview with a Success Story - Alonia Taylor”

Or
From “Fantasy” to Reality in 25 Days!
What happens in this episode?
I have my first interview on the podcast with a client and aspiring writer Alonia Taylor. We talk about how she went from being too afraid to even call herself a writer, to having a fantasy novel and a marketing strategy fleshed out in less than a month.
I drop a lot of gems about how aspiring artists can make tons of cash from what they do. If you’re an aspiring artist of any kind, you definitely don’t want to miss this one.
Why is this episode so important?
Alonia is a regular grown ass person, with a day job and a burning passion to do more with her life. She was stuck in the muck of her everyday grind, probably just like you. My hope is that by seeing what’s possible for her, you’ll be inspired to finally say, “YES!” to your dream.
This episode shows the power of actually working with a professional business coach. You’ll see in this episode that my aptitude for “getting shit done” gave Alonia a set of solutions she never even knew were available.
Episode Highlights

Trying to launch a “practical business” is a recipe for disaster. It’s smarter to go after impractical dreams than boring, seemingly attainable ones.
“Starving artists” are just people who only have one revenue stream for their business.

IMPORTANT NOTE

“Brainstorm-2-Breakthru” sessions are pretty straight forward.
