What's really in your way and how to undo it.

Some authors have taken months to years (some have never been able to finish their first book) to publish a book, I did none for the first 56 years of my life. Then a transformation happened and I have 4 published in last than 2 years, 2 more will be out in the next 2 months - making 6!

How did it do this? What was that transformation in my life? This is what I will cover in my presentation.

Many professionals and would-be authors struggle with the dreaded “writer's block.” Attend this session to find out how to defeat writer's block each time you sit down to write. You'll never stare at a blank computer screen again! Your stories, ideas, and thoughts will flow easily when you use this proven method.

You have a vision. You want to have an impact. Your expertise, big idea, and unique genius simply must be broadcast to the world. You're ready to heed your calling and monetize it. There's no better way to make it happen than writing a book and getting it out there. Still, your passion and purpose often need fine-tuning, clarity, and organization to transform your inspiration into a publication. And that requires not only a strategy, but a strategy that works for you. Part mindset, part aligning with your “inner being”, Dr. Sheri will take you through a process that keeps you focused, offers you clarity, and support you with practical strategies, along with the metaphysical aspect so you can tune in, find your flow, and enjoy the process with completion as the end-goal.

Writing may feel like a difficult, cumbersome task. It's true in a way but not anymore once you realize how it can actually transform your career and life. I am a translator of over 15 years of experience, and I self-published my first English book “The Future of Translation”. Surprisingly, after the book came out, I was invited to: 1) write a book by another publisher (the book is out now already), 2) speak at conferences, and 3) got a completely new position at an AI English research group with the world's most intelligent/nicest people. This can happen to you.
