Episode Details

In this episode, Patrick shares his personal journey with writing, highlighting the challenges of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and the realities behind both self-publishing and traditional publishing. Whether you’re a therapist looking to expand alternative income streams or someone thinking about sharing your story, this episode is packed with insights.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Every Story Has Value: Patrick encourages putting book ideas on paper, reminding listeners that self-doubt is normal but should never stop you from starting.
2. Different Paths to Publishing: From self-published workbooks and manuals to scoring a major book deal, there’s no single right route—just the one that’s best for your goals, skills, and audience.
3. Start Small and Refine: Commit to writing regularly, even if it’s just 15 minutes or a single sentence a day. You’ll rarely stop at one sentence, and the process of refining your work is continuous.
