Transitioning Mid-Career, It’s Never Too Late with Jennie Nash

Ep: 83

“There’s a common misbelief that if you do work that helps people, it doesn’t pay well.”

For a huge chunk of her career, Jennie Nash struggled to make money as a writer, despite her success in scoring book deals. What she did learn during her years writing, however, was the ins-and-outs of the publishing world. Since then, she has put that knowledge to work, coaching many big names in the industry, building her company Author Accelerator into a multi-six-figure book coaching business, and teaching others to do the same.

On this episode of The Bridge to Fulfillment®, Blake and Jennie dig into Jennie’s evolution from failed big ideas, to a shift in how she perceived her work and its worth, to coming into her own as an entrepreneur and mentor to her clients and embracing the reality that everything is a process to be refined as we learn and progress forward. Tune in for an impactful discussion on your value and the value of your mistakes.

  • Why an accidental coaching enrollment changed Jennie’s outlook and her business itself in a massive way

Favorite Quote

“What I do is not just help you write a book; I help you find your voice. I help you raise your voice, I help you overcome the doubt that you have anything worthwhile to say, I help you figure out what really matters to you, what you really want to convey to people. Doing that work inevitably gets to very personal, emotional, long-standing things that someone is trying to breakthrough. That’s what I was helping [writers] do. I would feel the transformation I was helping them with, I would see the results… And I had to understand the real value that I was bringing, and what that value was, and what it meant to people. [I had to] raise my rates and change the whole business strategy that I had around it in order to bring those rates up to what they really needed to be.” Jennie Nash
