Published: The Podcast Episode #7 Allison Doss

“My book gives me leverage in the speaking world. Since publishing, I’ve been asked to collaborate on 4 different books because I wrote a book and got great reviews. Finishing the book gave me the confidence that I actually had something to say, AND I could say it, AND do something about it. I now felt I could be a part of that world because I achieved the goal of writing the book. Now I fit in with the crowd.”

Pull up a chair and hang out with award-winning author and speaker Allison Doss. She’s pure inspiration and motivation. In this episode we talk about how showing up to be of service (rather than to get our needs met) makes a difference. 

“It’s not about being liked. It’s about being of service.” 

Allison shares how writing her memoir, The Unbossing, was the key to gaining the confidence she needed to own her place on the stage. Now she stands shoulder to shoulder with Jack Canfield and Marie Diamond from The Secret.

You’ll also hear how she handles the tech gremlins. It’s not all rainbows and unicorns when you’re self publishing.

Hi friends, 

I don’t think there’s anything cooler than books. And being a writer. 

I’m an old school bibliophile. There’s nothing I enjoy more than reading books, talking about books and writing books. I secretly believe I am the recent incarnation from the Library of Alexandria because I’ve got a sacred duty ingrained in me to collect the best books in the world. My personal bookshelf is a collection of what I believe is the most important knowledge we’ve put together in book form so far whether it comes in fiction (The Lord of the Rings, Pride and Prejudice, Gilgamesh and The Dune series) or herbal remedies, neurolinguistic programming, love spells, Buddhist philosophy, Sufi poetry, or Wayne Dyer/ Louise Hay.
I’m not into digital or audio books- I want hard copies I can hold in my hand. I’m ready for everything to go off line although I hope it never does. 

I’ve been a writer since I made my first book in kindergarten about a witch and her cats (two topics that still fascinate me) and have since taught creative writing and copywriting (what a combo!) in the outdoors in rural Argentina, to polo players and tennis pros in S. Florida, and to online coaches writing the ads (and full length books) that get their message out there and change lives around the world. 

Darlene Turriff and I started The Authors Collaborative a few years ago to turn the lonely art of writing and self-publishing a book into a cooperative activity with all the inspiration, guidance, and friendship we writers need to stay motivated and write amazing books we’re proud of. 

I am an internationally bestselling award winning author of 7 books, ghostwriter, copy editor and co-founder of the Authors Collaborative writer’s community.
 
I love helping coaches, speakers and thought leaders take it up a notch energetically & financially by writing a book.  I have helped over 100 coaches write a professional book and I can help you too. 

I have cracked the code on the creative process so that you can successfully create the impact you always wanted.
The secret is to just get started. 

For now, let’s talk about writing the books that change the world.
