Podcast appearances and mentions of Erik J Fisher

As we have been examining several aspects of blogging, we have generally been assuming that you are blogging alone. This is probably the most common scenario that you will find yourself in. Sometimes, though, you may find yourself working with someone else. One case would be with guest posting. Another situation may involve a multi-author project, such as was the case with Jim Woods and Erik J. Fisher. I was able to talk to them about their process of working together on a writing project (writing two books together) back in Semester 1, Session 17. They shared some great insight and things to consider when approaching a partnership like that. Now, their project didn’t really involve blogging, although Jim did blog about several of the concepts while they were in the writing process. Many of the principles, though, can apply to a blog-based project with multiple authors. Multi-author sites There are many sites that utilize multiple authors. Much like an online newspaper or magazine, these authors contribute articles (blog posts) on a regular basis. There is usually some sort of schedule where each one will post a certain times. This can be a great option for some people. You could draw from many different sources and points of view. You can also provide a higher volume of high-quality content by having daily postings (or several times a day). This can provide a great increase in website traffic and, as a result, higher chance of monetizing through the site. Some draw backs could be that individuals get lost behind the overall brand of the site. I can’t speak for everyone, but I can see the author getting overlooked because the reader is just concentrating on the actual content itself. Multi-author collaboration Another format is where multiple people collaborate together to provide a single piece of content, much like Jim and Erik did with their books. There can be an even greater chance of the individual getting lost behind the brand, but there can be some great benefits, too. I started such a project. It started back in May/June of 2013. That is when it was announced that a new season of “24” would be coming the following year. I had been podcasting for a few months at that time, so the thought of starting a podcast based on the show came to mind. I didn’t want to do the show myself, so I looked for a possible co-host. I remember my friend, Mark Sieverkropp, mentioning once that he loved the show, so I asked him if he’d be interested in joining me. After a couple e-mail exchanges, he agreed. We spent June and July watching the news and planning how we would approach it. We decided that we would try to cover each of the previous seasons before the new season started. We launched the podcast (The 24 Podcast) in August, giving us about 9 months to cover the 8 seasons of the show. It was an intense 9 months because we were trying to re-watch as much of the show as possible. What we couldn’t watch, we looked for summaries to jog our memories. We were also able to get two other guys to come on as guest hosts periodically. As the new season started, we would watch the episode that Monday (or Tuesday morning online). We would then record and episode on Tuesday or Wednesday, giving our commentary on it. We got a lot of great feedback and interaction from people on Twitter. Then, the season came to an end. We were faced with a decision: what do we do now? We didn't know if another season would come or not and we had already recapped the entire series. One thing we had done throughout the podcast was give our predictions and story ideas. Some of them panned out, and others flopped. But that gave me the idea to try writing our own story line. A fan-fiction project. This idea was also mentioned by Jim Woods, who had no idea I was already thinking about it. At the time, I had no idea what it would really look like or what it w...

Productivity expert Erik J. Fisher joins us to talk about how to be productive without stress. Also, I cover intervals, jicama, how to "shovelglove" on the bike, putting butter in your coffee, and more.

Jim Woods and Erik J. Fisher have co-authored another book, Hit the Mark! Their first book, Ready, Aim, Fire!, was released last year. In this session, they join us to talk about the creative process they went through. How did the collaboration process work while preparing for this book? What were some roadblocks you encountered? How did you overcome them? What kind of investment did this book have? What are the plans for the next book? How will you approach the next book differently? What advice would you give to someone working on a multi-author project? The post Collaborative projects with Jim Woods and Erik J. Fisher (1-17) appeared first on Creative Studio Academy.

https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/15084635s.jpg ()My name is Mark R. LePage and I am a recovering procrastinator. After 40+ years, I don't have much hope of ever finding a cure, but recently I have found some ways to hang on to the wagon and stay focused on getting things done. With so many things on my plate, I often find myself paralyzed with overwhelm and I get nothing done. I fall back on old bad habits of soothing time wasters like clicking the Get Mail button on my Mac over and over again and checking my email for the next very important message. Or I find myself on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram or all three, refreshing over and over again hoping to see the next update. Anything to make myself feel like I am accomplishing something. Anything to keep me from doing the things that really matter. The things that will help me progress and take my firm to the next level. I am sure this all sounds too familiar to you. I can tell you though that I am getting much better at conquering this painful habit of procrastination. Among running my architecture firm, Fivecat Studio, building the Entrepreneur Architect platform, launching the Academy and committing to getting some real sleep, I have found it necessary to find effective ways to stay productive during the day. I have read books. I have listened to podcasts. I have searched the web, high and low, to find as much information as possible on the subject of procrastination and how to conquer it. So today on the Entrepreneur Architect Podcast, I will share 10 tips that I am using to conquer my procrastination. Please review this podcast on iTunes.

Dave Stachowiak, host of the Coaching for Leaders podcast, is in the Academy today to share some insight about online leadership principles. He will discuss some of the principles from that book today. What is your definition of leadership? Leadership: Where are you going? Looking at the strategy. Management: How are you getting there? Why do you love How to Win Friends and Influence People? It's so accessible. Anyone can open it, turn to any page, and get something from it. It has the amazing ability to challenge me, even after reading several times. What is an example of how one of those principles challenges you? Enthusiasm is the little secret of success. Become genuinely interested in other people. If we want to be effective as content creators, we need to be interested in other people and what they care about. If the content doesn't speak to that person's needs, they won't read it or come back. Sometimes, what we think they need is different from what they actually need. Be a good listener. Let others talk about themselves. Two mistakes we make: Not thinking through who your audience is going to be beforehand. Not listening to your community as it grows. Know who your audience is. We need to get past the point of just having a "nice article," and give them a tool or resource that is of real value and is life-changing, that is of tremendous value to our audience. Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely. While you are reaching a broader audience online, it is still a one-on-one interaction. "Do for one what you wish you could do for everyone." - Andy Stanley What are some of the other principles that you think are pertinent? Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person. Dave's wife, Bonnie, is a University professor and has started a podcast, Teaching in Higher Ed. While it is specifically for those that are teaching on a college/university level, she shares a lot of great principles that translate to content creation. Get your copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People on Amazon (affiliate link)! Next session, Erik J. Fisher and Jim Woods join us to talk about the process they went through writing their latest book, Hit the Mark! This interview doesn't cover the concepts from the book (energy, time, and focus), but you can listen to the other interview I had with them on Quality Living Made Simple. I would also highly recommend this book (get it on Amazon). The post Dave Stachowiak shares some online leadership principles (1-16) appeared first on Creative Studio Academy.

Jim Woods is the co-author of Ready, Aim, Fire! and Hit the Mark! (with Erik J. Fisher). He is an accountant that is transitioning into writing full-time. You can connect with him on his website and on Twitter. Describe the process you go through when writing. Jim likes to brainstorm and get a game plan for what he's going after. If you just go on emotions, you're starting things but not going anywhere. He's starting to study about having multiple passions. If he's driving, he'll use Dragon Dictation to capture ideas. As he approaches an e-book, he looks at like a bunch of blog posts, but closely connected. Jim has tried to use Evernote, but it doesn't work well with his personality. He just e-mails the different files (audio, text, etc.) to himself, making sure to put a subject line that is descriptive. He knows that he can't handle too many projects at once, so he does one big project and one smaller project. Use what works for you. There is no one-size fits all. [Tweet "It is good to also have a physical and digital way to capture ideas. - @jimwoodswrites"] What brainstorming and research tips do you have? Research is dangerous because you can over-research. Use as few resources as possible. Steven Pressfield recommends 3 really good resources. See how the research applies to you or someone else. Tell stories. Just follow the "beginning, middle, end" format. [Tweet "Don't overthink the brainstorming idea. Don't let it stop you from starting - just dive in. - @jimwoodswrites"] How can we use goals with content creation? Jim and Erik J. Fisher co-wrote the book, "Ready, Aim, Fire!" that talks about goals. Jim recommends to buy the book, "Do the Work" by Steven Pressfield. If you're not sure of something, join the club. Doubts are common - it's just a matter if we admit it. Parting advice Creating art is a hard life. We want to be accepted, but be sure to start with yourself. Make sure you really like what you're doing, and everything else will fall into place. If you're struggling too much, it's okay to back away. Do you have any processes or tips for creating content? Thanks to those that left a 5-star review in iTunes: Greg Hickman, Missionary on Fire (Joe Consford), and filmmakerdoc (Doc Kennedy).
