How to Land More Clients and Boost Your Income by Teaching

Written by Sarah L. Webb

Get the wooden desks and dusty chalkboards out of your mind. This is the new age of teaching, and the opportunities to share your valuable knowledge, establish yourself as an expert, and extend your platform go far beyond traditional classrooms. Tons of professional writers offer consultations (in person, online, or by phone), e-courses, lectures, tutoring, coaching, conference presentations, and workshops in places as diverse as their own living rooms and large auditoriums. If you’re not terrified of a more traditional teaching environment, there’s also the option of working for colleges and universities as a part

The unsung heroes of the writing world – first-time authors, business book authors, authors who’ve endured years of struggle, and comeback kids – are all resistant to the idea of giving their work away.

Why You Aren’t Born Great – And Why That’s Okay

Written by Eric Pangburn

Nobody is born great. We all start off as equals: tiny infants who can’t do much on their own.

Once you’ve reached it, that’s it – what else can you do except try to be more epic? So where does this epic-quest end? Nowhere except a looming pitfall

Why Rejections, Failures and Setbacks are the Key to Awesomeness

Written by Bea Kylene

As a blogger, I was crazy enough to pitch to ProBlogger (and yes, fail) when my own analytics were damn flat. And as a career hopeful, I was uncommon enough to choose writing as a profession, despite my mom and dad being CPAs. I guess you could say that I’m not afraid to fail. To aim high and get shot
