Pam Slim is a writer, speaker and small business coach. She loves working with business owners and is passionate about the healthy, thriving, creative ecosystem of people who are creating community and overall economic wellbeing for all. During our conversation Pam shares some staggering stats on how small business owners contribute to the overall economy, which I just had no idea about, and how she uses the conversations she has with small business owners all over the country to fuel her writing. We also talked about what the writing process is like when you're an extroverted thinker and listener, the act of writing through discomfort, how writing a book is hard but finding those moments where you can totally break through, and how deadlines can motivate you to get your writing done. In this interview Pam offers a lot of simple, practical and easy to implement advice that will help you find and improve your creative practice and writing process.
