When it comes to coaching, I am so lucky – I have some of the most inspiring clients.
Enter Elmira Bayrasli who I’ve known since we both participated in Dialogue2010.
When her book launched last year, and she was in Istanbul for a few days, I asked if she would share some of insights and takeaways from her experience.
As I reviewed our interview, it became clear that Elmira’s generous sharing of her experience can apply to anyone in creation-mode, so whether you’re writing a book, building a business, or creating a product, there is something for you in this 30-minute interview.
Here’s what you’ll hear us talk about:
- How a daughter of immigrants learned about entrepreneurship in an effort to create jobs for people
- How the Silicon Valley spirit of entrepreneurship has gone global
- Understanding how a book (or other creation) is like another member of the family
- How to shift your story to the point of view of your reader (client/customer)
- Elmira’s favorite mantra to overcome perfectionism
- Gearing up to face the physical, mental and psychological obstacles that may derail your efforts
- Who to have on your support team
- What happens when you say yes to yourself rather than wait to be invited to the conversation
- Elmira’s advice for anyone at the beginning of the book creation process
- The most joyful part of creating this book
Mentioned in this interview:
- Elmira’s book, From the Other Side of the World: Extraordinary Entrepreneurs, Unlikely Places
- Foreign Policy Interrupted
Enjoy!
