[AWAI]( WEEK IN REVIEW August 7 – 11, 2023 --------------------------------------------------------------- Free Must-Attend Training Event It Will Impact Your Success in 2023 and Beyond Hi {NAME}, I wanted to make sure you saw Rebecca's message about Monday's free training … Here it is — If you have big plans for your writer's life … But they haven't happened for you (YET!) … I want to help. I've heard from some AWAI members who started the year strong, full of high hopes and enthusiasm … But now? They're feeling behind, distracted, and creatively burnt out. 👎 And they're not sure what to do to make things better. Fortunately, I do! 🙌👍 That's why on Monday at noon ET, I've invited Terri Trespicio to come and put on a LIVE training EXCLUSIVELY for AWAI members. Most people know Terri as an award-winning writer and popular Tedx speaker. But that's only the beginning … Terri is an absolute genius at helping writers gain the clarity they need, destroy hidden roadblocks, and get them moving forward. Not one day in the future … but, immediately. I've personally experienced it firsthand … and mean it when I say this training should be mandatory training for all writers. We're calling it The "Block" Buster Workshop: How to Spot, Shift, and Soar Past the Hidden Roadblocks Holding You Back From Your Ideal Writer's Life … but truthfully, there isn't a title that could possibly convey the power of what you're going to learn in this session. Terri's mission is to help you see why your big plans for 2023 may have gone sideways or gotten stuck behind a block you didn't even realize was there. And then … In her uniquely fun and interactive way, Terri's going to share what you can do to bring your goals back to life, rescue the rest of 2023, and set yourself up for major success in 2024 and beyond. As I mentioned, it's completely FREE for you to join. I don't want anything standing in the way of you reaching your writing and financial goals — and I believe wholeheartedly that Terri can help. [So, grab your spot right here.]( And we'll see you on Monday at noon ET! I'll be there! I hope you will too.
