Ep 040: How to stop procrastinating & get your bum on the seat, with publishing ace Alison Jones

If you have a tendency to faff around and wait for the muse or the mood (err, me!) before you start a project, then Alison Jones, and this episode are for you. With a rich career in publishing behind her, latterly in innovation roles, she now runs her own consultancy. She's coached hundreds of people to write books, as well as having written her own bestseller and hosts her own podcast, too.  She's also just finished a 1,000 day running streak (she gets her best ideas running) for the Literary Trust, so she is a woman who knows how to get things done. She's full of practical inspiration that will motivate you to get your bum down on the seat. And, as an added bonus, she has got a voice perfect for podcasting....  References: You can find Alison Jones here: Facebook: @theextraordinarybusinessbookclub (Alison hosts regular co-writing sessions, for free, via her Facebook feed - follow for more info) Instagram: @bookstothesky_ @pip_talking Twitter: @bookstothesky @PIPtalking @extrabizbooks LinkedIn: @AlisonJones To follow Big Juicy Creative for loads of inspiration on living creatively, see: Instagram: @bigjuicycreativeliving Facebook @bigjuicycreativeliving LinkedIn: @suzybashford contact Suzy: suzy@bigjuicycreative.co.uk And remember, you can still get your free wintspiration fridge poster (family friendly and grown-up versions available!

You could be in a ‘creative’ career, like marketing or the arts, or maybe you wish you did something more creative. This podcast will show you how, if you approach your life with creativity – a bit more openness, curiosity, self-expression, imagination - it will become bigger, juicier and more meaningful. Creativity is about way more than painting or poetry, and this show brings you inspirational tales from beyond the creative department, from farming to fractions. Your host, Suzy Bashford, is a freelance journalist, who writes about creativity among other things, a workshop facilitator and a speaker. As well as interviews, she’ll bring you shorter, solo podcasts where she sums up and test-drives the advice she’s given, reporting back to you with her trademark honesty.
