EE-041 – Jeff Goins on becoming a writer

This one more of the string of interviews I did at the SMMW14 (Social Media Marketing World conference hosted by Social Media Examiner). It’s a bit (but, only a bit) embarrassing how long it’s taken me to get all of these published – sorry!

Enter Jeff Goins.

Learn how and why Jeff left his job to start a career in writing (was he crazy?). He started with blogging and writing and then hit the wall, before he “turned pro” (Steven Pressfield). I was motivated just talking with Jeff – he had so many great ways to get started and keep writing.

Great lines from this interview:

“Making my passion primary”

“We are attracted to other people who are chasing their dreams”

“Built my platform off what I’m going through”

“You are an writer when you say you are” Steven Pressfield

“The magic was practice”

“Five is easier than three (e.g. going to the gym 5 days/week is easier than 3 days/week)”

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” – Leonardo da Vinci

Be your best,

Hugh
