Jeremie and Steve, thank you for your excellent book, video resources, and podcast! The combination of resources has been absolutely invlauable for my optimism in my ability to lead my own team and create the company I've envisioned, from the ground up.
Over the last five years, I've evolved from a freelance book editor and writing coach, then into a leader of a team of editors, and now into the Founder & CEO of a full-fledge self-publishing services company, with a team of 15 independent contractors working with me to help authors write, publish, and market books in this digital age.
During the last five years, I've struggled to understand why leading (which I've always felt a natural pull toward) did not also naturally generate a highly profitable machine of a business. I've sought courses, coaching, and business interventions, trying to find that elusive missing piece of knowledge that would surely make the mechanics of the business that I was surely missing all clear to me.
As it turns out, I'm a Nurtuer Creative, and a Millenial, to boot. I'm listening back to the beginning of the archives of the Liberator Podcast. I've just listened to episode 15 (Leadership In The Digital Age), and the light has switched on for me. No wonder I find it difficult to harness together these stronger voices, who all want to work remotely, and at odd hours and do what they want to do, when they want to do it. Especially when I want to work exactly the same way!
What I feel at the moment is an intense optimism. With understanding of myself, understanding of those on my team, and a vision for our way forward together, I can lead a truly remarkable digital team that'll change the publishing industry. I'm seeing my strengths, now, and feeling that anything is possible, with the right people and the right questions. My future is liberated.
I just wanted to say thank you and to let you know that your Five Voices framework is incredible and making such a monumental a difference in my life. Thank ya'll so much.
Your devoted, gratefu,l milennial listener,
Morgan
