In this episode of the Dietitian Success Podcast, I sit down and chat with Megan Poczekaj, Registered Dietitian, successful private practice owner and self-published author. Megan walks us through all the steps she took to get her book, The Optimized Life, from simply a concept to a product she sells on Amazon! 

Specifically, we discuss: 

  • How not to get overwhelmed when you're going through the writing process, and why time blocking is a crucial part of the process 
  • How to get your book from written pages on a computer into a physical product 
  • The money stuff – how much you can expect to earn off of your book 
  • Why being "a bad writer" doesn't have to stop you from becoming a published author
