On this week’s episode, I’m chatting with Alisha Robertson of TheAlishaNicole.com. What started out as a conversation about becoming an author through self-publishing shifted into a thoughtful chat about fear and what’s really holding people back. It was so good. Lots of really useful insight was shared.
If you aren’t familiar with Alisha, she is a clarity coach dedicated to helping creative women create their life & business on purpose. She’s the self-published author behind The Blogpreneur which is a step-by-step guide to showing bloggers how to turn their online space into a profitable business.
In this episode we discuss why Alisha took the leap into starting a creative business, how she produces so much high value content and why fear is the only thing truly holding you back from creating your dream business.
