How to Use the Overlap Principle to Build Your Writing Business, Part 1: My Story

A few weeks ago, I stepped away from my full-time teaching job in order to focus on ghostwriting and the Daily Writer.  

As I have spent some time reflecting on this major change in my life, it occurred to me that I've followed a very simple principle as I have transitioned into several different roles in my work life over the last 25 years. I want to share that principle with you today, along with how you can put it into practice to build your writing business, or whatever other ventures you might eventually want to pursue. 

It's simply called the Overlap Principle. On this episode, I want to explain what that is and also share my story of overlapping careers a few times to arrive at my current business. Then, on next week's Sunday episode, I'll share some specific tips for overlapping in your own writing business.
