Unconventional & Highly Effective Writing Tips with Best Selling Author Michelle Weger

Capture Inspired Moments and Finally Finish Your Book 

Welcome back Michelle Weger with our second podcast in a row with her! In the previous episode, we celebrated the release of her new book, Don’t Snooze Your Dreams: Lessons from Life with Narcolepsy. Now, we’re going to talk about how Michelle was able to write her book so quickly and even managed to get it published ahead of schedule. 

Michelle is an accomplished entrepreneur, speaker, and now #1 International Best Selling author. As the founder of Venture Creative Collective, home of the innovative ‘Website in a Day’ service, Michelle helps small businesses thrive with innovative automation and web development solutions.

Living with narcolepsy, Michelle has transformed personal challenges into powerful lessons, inspiring countless individuals to pursue their dreams despite obstacles. Her engaging keynotes draw from real-life experiences, offering practical strategies and inspiring stories. Michelle is accompanied by her medical alert service dog, Quinn. 

Keep Moving Forward 

Michelle managed to finish her book in record time. It took her a little under a year of writing, and it was published five days ahead of schedule. She achieved this feat by disregarding habits we’ve grown to expect from authors. Instead of continuously sitting at a desk day after day, hoping she’d be inspired until the last word was written, she took a completely different approach. Listen in for the various ways she turned traditional writing on its head and created a book that is so conversational and comfortable that one reader described it as talking with a friend over a latte. 

One Book Written With A Much Bigger Picture In Mind

Michelle’s reasons for writing this book are incredible and inspiring. She wants to help others achieve their dreams with her DREAM method, but she also wants to help others like her be diagnosed as quickly as possible by spreading awareness of her journey from not knowing what was wrong to her diagnosis. You won’t believe how big she is thinking when it comes to how she’d like her book distributed and who she would love to help her realize her dream. 

I’ve loved having Michelle on the show for these two episodes! If you’re currently stuck writing your book or have always wanted to write a book, then this episode is your inspiration. Maybe something we say will be the tactic that works best for you to finally move forward and finish your book!
