It’s not About Perfection or the Perfect Roadmap

Episode #51

Guest Speaker ~ Kristin Buchlet

“The quote I use a lot of times in my book is: Parenting is not about perfection. It’s about the power in your plan. I would say that about being an author. It’s not about perfection. It’s about the power of sticking to it and getting to the end. It’s getting helpers along the way; and, if you need to take a little break, take that little break. It’s not about a perfect path or the perfect outline, but it’s about just diving and doing it.”
– Kristin Buchtel

I love hearing how a book unknowingly got its spark. That unforeseen glimmer, that years later, transforms into the foundation of a book.

Kristin Buchtel is the award winning author of Noteworthy Parenting: How to Use Your Own IDEAS to Create Your Parenting Roadmap and the companion journal, Noteworthy Parenting Roadmap: A Companion Journal to Note Your Best Parenting Plans.

In this Pen to Paper Press Podcast episode, you will hear:
.:. The conversation Kristin had with her husband that unknowingly became the foundation of her books.
.:. How helping other parents to create their own parenting plan sparked her book writing and publishing journey.
.:. The marketing ideas she used to become an award-winning author at the beginning of the lockdowns.
.:. Her reasons for self-publishing.
.:. If she will use an editing team help her with the yet-to-be-written books (plural).
.:. The roadblocks she encountered.

Kristin possesses an incredible knowledge for marketing. If this is an arena you dread stepping into (or simply panic at the thought of) you need to hear her ideas. This woman is brilliant! [One small hint: she made it fun]

Pour yourself a mug of what tastes good and enjoy this educational conversation focused on letting go of perfection.
