Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors! In this week's episode I chat with international bestseller, award-winning author, and founder of the Alliance of Independent Authors, Orna Ross. Orna shares all about her Go Creative Planning program and how it can bring you closer to your author goals. Other topics we discuss include: · The importance and willingness to pivot throughout your author career. · Why scheduling more Creative Rest and Play is essential for boosting creativity and productivity. · The magic of Free Writing and meditating to move through resistance and blocks. · Why it's so important to pay yourself first even when you're not making the big bucks. · Why Orna will be using Kickstarter for all her launches going forward, and why you might want to consider doing the same. · Why you should always go for the BIG goal!

To succeed as a working indie author, you must write and publish well, two complex skills which take years to learn. You must fulfill or exceed the expectations of your readers and followers, not just once, but again and again. And you must do all this at a profit, so that everyone—including you—gets properly paid. Having a good creative publishing plan makes all of this much easier. In this advanced podcast for indie authors Orna Ross and Joanna Penn discuss the importance of planning and Orna introduces her Go Creative! In Business Planning program.

Nachhaltige Events sind die Zukunft! Es wird eine Zeit nach der Corona-Krise geben. Es wird sich für unsere Eventbranche einiges verändern, nicht nur die Auftragslage und das Buchungsverhalten der Kunden. Viel mehr müssen Events künftig noch sicherer, hygienischer sowie nachhaltig(er) abgehalten werden. Wir sollten jetzt die Chance nutzen um zu schauen, wie sich bestehende Konzepte nachhaltiger gestalten lassen. Doch was versteht man eigentlich unter dem Begriff "Nachhaltigkeit" im Zusammenhang mit der Eventorganisation? Klar ist: Es reicht nicht einfach nur die Plastikstrohhälme wegzulassen! Nachhaltige Eventkonzepte gehen deutlich tiefer. Ist es teurer sowie aufwändiger Eventkonzepte auf Nachhaltigkeit zu trimmen? Diese und mehr Fragen beantwortet uns Sustainability-Experte Stefan Lohmann. In seiner Tätigkeit als Artist Relation Manager setzt er für Kunden nachhaltige Konzepte um. Stefan ist zudem Gründer der Plattform "Sustainable Event Solutions". Über diese Plattform kannst Du nachhaltig agierende Dienstleister und Partner für Deine nächste Eventproduktion zu finden.
