“Before [Vickie] happened in my life, I would put out social media posts … and I was getting crickets. Now, I put out a post and people are gravitating, jumping on and sharing. I get more shares, more comments, more likes and more engagement with people I don’t even know and it’s just multiplying, plus I’m getting sales calls from it.” – Vicki Ariatti.

“I put my story on paper and she chose me as her coach because of that story … What I’ve been learning from Vickie is that telling my story DOES sell. The most engagement I get off of any post or anything I do is the ones that come from my heart … it gives the person I’m talking to a piece of me, which is what we connect to …. It works, I just can’t believe it, but it does!” – Mary Parker.

I never intended on coaching on story. When I first started out, I was a wellness coach. All I did was share my story – the major ones and the minor ones. My inbox was constantly filled with people who wanted my help. Then other entrepreneurs started asking me how I was getting so well known. My answer was always because of story.

I wasn’t good at marketing through my story right away though. For a long time I struggled with just being “inspiring” or just being liked but not being able to convert those prospects into clients. I didn’t really want to get raw and real. I was scared to share it all and be judged. What would they think? So I scratched the surface.

I’d lay awake at night worrying about where my next client was coming from and I wondered why I thought I was doing the right things but not getting any traction. It seemed like everyone else was having so much fun and success and I was getting left behind. 

Then I realized that there was a magic method to storytelling and I started using a blueprint for sharing my stories. I also had to get better at that in-between piece, sales, so that the prospects that came to me through hearing my story would turn into clients. And that’s what I want to share with you now.

Hi, I’m Vickie Gould, 10 time Amazon Best Selling Author and I’ve helped nearly 100 others become best sellers as well.  I’ve always loved words.  I love the psychology of words too, and I’ve always loved learning about why we do what we do, as well.  Words matter so much.  They can uplift and inspire, and they can tear and break down. I want to motivate and help people to see their potential – that life that they’re meant to live. 

I never thought my life would end up here, but looking back, it makes so much sense.

From the time I was in elementary school, I always had a “side gig” and even when I took that corporate route, I still had those side gigs.  I couldn’t kick that entrepreneurial spirit.

I also became the editor of the school newspaper, yearbook and literary magazine (yes, I kind of monopolized them all).  I enjoyed so much the creative side and the strategic side of creating all those things.  It’s no surprise now that I also had my own online magazine, Real Deal Magazine.  

But there was a not-so-fun-time in my life when I was very sick.  I was stuck in bed basically for 4 years of my life. And the view from my bed wasn’t very uplifting as my children grew up without me and life passed me by.  I spent many days in my head, thinking of how to get better, IF I was ever going to get better and the thoughts that swirled through my head about what the purpose of my illness was.

And on those nights I spent crying on the cold bathroom floor or next to my sleeping husband, I grieved the life I thought I’d never get to live, which only took me back to all the things that I wished I would’ve done had I known I would be sick.  There were days I wanted to give up and days I knew I just had to see my children grow up, and for me to have to the chance to see my future grandchildren.

Those were the thoughts that kept me going and I started to change my thoughts about who I was – who I had always been meant to be and how there must be a purpose for my life.  I was not going to leave this world without having left my mark.  I didn’t want to go through all this and not have an impact.  I told myself no more regrets.  No more looking back and wishing.  From now on, there would only be me, helping others, leaving a legacy and living life to the fullest. 

So probably no surprise either that wanting to leave my mark and helping others make an impact and leave their legacy, led to books.  Helping entrepreneurs just like you to strategically write Amazon best selling books and leverage them is where my heart is.  

If you want influence, impact, legacy and significance, you need to write a book for your business.  Not only does it help you to live forever in your own words, but it also creates a way for your ideal prospect to get to know you intimately, through your stories, making a connection with you and then wanting to reach out to become your next client. You write it once and get to monetize it forever!
