Breaking Down Barriers and Brick Walls

Today my guest is Dixie Gillaspie. Ever since she was a little
girl, Dixie’s least favorite word was "can’t." It still is, and
she's on a mission to prove that anything is possible, for
anyone. Her first love is working with entrepreneurs as a coach,
consultant, muse, and firestarter. She's good at seeing
opportunities where other people see walls, navigating crossroads
where other people see dead ends, and helping people connect
their passion and purpose to create a powerful presence and
increased profit. Dixie contributes to Entrepreneur and
Huffington Post and is a Senior Managing Editor for The Good Man
Project.
In this interview we talk  about

the right reasons for writing

the "can't" brick walls and what stands behind those

3 stages all entrepreneurs (and writers are entrepreneurs
too) go though during their journey

the power of incorporating your personal story into writing

the benefits of having a good editor

writing for big publications/websites


Food for Thought

Most of us write because we have something inside that we want to
share.


If you don't have anything inside that matters to you and that
you want to share into the world than writing is gonna be really,
really hard work for you.


If you have something inside you that you wanna share then the
first step isn't really the writing - it's the getting
comfortable sharing!


People remember ideas, not words.


There are so many reasons for people to say they can't.


What is the purpose for your art?


Don't ever abdicate your writing to the editor.


Whatever you've been to and whatever you want to share with the
world has value.


The important thing is finding the people it has value for.
