046 – Writing Effectively with Jeff Goins

Summary: Jeff Goins from goinswriter.com shares what it takes to not just be a writer or some who put words on the web, but how to be an effective writer. The reason I invited him on the show is because his writings are extremely effective and have moved me and I study copywriting and blogging etc.  So I thought it would be great and "effective" to have Jeff on the show to share with us how he does it. Jeff writings are great, but he teaches us the how to's which most great writers don't do.  This was a great interview jam packed with great how to's and wisdom to take your writing and business to the next level.

Most of us spend our lives searching and longing for something more than what’s in front of us. Whether it’s traveling abroad or chasing cheap (or expensive) thrills, we’re all looking for something to satisfy our restlessness. And, so often, we’re looking in the wrong place. In The In-Between, Jeff Goins calls us to accept the importance waiting plays in our lives and to embrace the lessons it has to offer.   Wrecked  - Wrecked  is a book about the life we’re afraid to live—one full of radical sacrifice and selfless service. It’s a look at how we discover fulfillment in the least likely of places. This is a guide to growing up and learning to live in the tension between the next adventure and our daily commitments.
