So, the MMA column I wanted on Examiner.com was already taken; I could have had the option to write another local column, but now that I have gone National I don't want to writing 'just' in Los Angeles.
I'm a snob, I know.
I decided to add a dedicated relationships column instead; I am hoping they'll create the 'Relationship Coaching Examiner' for me; if not I'll be 'Relationship Angst Examiner'. (ok...a BIG snob =)
But my goal is, if I am going to write about relationships I want to be able to cover every facet of it; being single, dating, marriage, divorce, all of it.
Since I think you know everything I do, I do for a reason; these articles are fun and all but I still plan it out to advance me along my path.
Side note, since the whole point of this blog is to let you know what I'm doing towards making my 7 goals manifest, let me give you a peak behind the curtain.
I am a life coach, specializing in spirituality and relationships.
So, I am writing one column about spirituality, and about to have another about relationships; why? Because it establish me as an expert.
That's the reason I do the show, I am building a platform and name recognition. Now when I talk to networks about TV show hosting, I can say “I'm a nationally syndicated columnist and host of my own web series”; sounds a lot different then some guy who just walks in off the street, right?
Everything feeds into everything else. My show feeds the writing which feeds the books and podcasts (www.peacelovemoney.com, *cough cough *) which feeds the coaching, which hopefully will feed into TV and radio.
Understand?
So, the moral of this story is: figure out LOTS of ways to approach your goals. Hit it from all sides simultaneously until something breaks through. Since I can tell you, once I even get a toe in the door of working on TV, I'll kick it in the rest of the way! =)
