Tell my readers a little bit about who you are and what you do.
Tashai
I am an author, book coach, and YouTube creator dedicated to empowering individuals through self-development. My life’s mission lies in empowering and guiding people to uncover and achieve their life’s purpose, which I do through my books and coaching services. Additionally, my YouTube channel offers a refreshing departure from self-development as it explores the wonders of travel and the transformative power of experiencing new places and nature.
Rich
I see you have written three books. Tell us how these books will help people.
Tashai
My book trio—Fill the Gap, Life-Mastering Habit Tracker, and Live on Purpose—serves as comprehensive guides for anyone seeking to discover their purpose and to lead a fulfilling life. Fill the Gap is a deeply personal narrative that outlines my journey from uncertainty to living my dream life, offering readers a step-by-step guide to achieve similar results. Life-Mastering Habit Tracker and Live on Purpose build upon the foundation laid in Fill the Gap, focusing on the significance of daily habits and mindful activities that propel life in the desired direction. These books provide practical strategies to help readers implement small but impactful changes, ultimately designed to move the needle of your life in the direction you want it to go.
Rich
You offer book publishing services. Please elaborate on how you can help people in this space.
Tashai
I provide a comprehensive suite of book publishing services designed to support authors at every stage of their journey. Whether you’re just beginning with an initial idea or need accountability during the writing process, I can guide you. For those further along, I offer professional editing, book formatting, and assistance with setting up your Amazon KDP account and uploading your book to ensure your book reaches its audience on Amazon. My goal is to make the publishing process seamless and accessible, helping you bring your vision to life.
Rich
Tell us more about your YouTube channel and what you showcase on it.
Tashai
My YouTube channel is a celebration of travel and nature, showcasing my adventures as I explore new destinations and immerse myself in breathtaking landscapes. The channel aims to highlight how travel can be a powerful tool for personal growth and expansion. By sharing my experiences, I hope to inspire viewers to embrace the transformative potential of travel, encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones and return with fresh perspectives and renewed inspiration.
Rich
What are 2-3 books that have shaped your journey?
Tashai
There have been so many influential books that it’s hard to choose just a few. One of the very first was Hope for the Flowers by Trina Paulus, a beloved birthday gift from my childhood that left a lasting impression on me with its themes of growth and transformation. Another pivotal book is The Hero’s Journey by Joseph Campbell, which provided a profound framework for understanding personal transformation. Both books have significantly influenced my outlook on life and my work in the self-development genre.
Rich
Who are mentors that have shaped who you are today and how did they help you?
Tashai
I’ve been fortunate to have been influenced by several remarkable mentors, including Walt Disney, Joseph Campbell, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, and Louise Hay. Through their books, programs, and even live talks, I gained invaluable insights into creativity, personal growth, and the pursuit of one’s purpose. Walt Disney’s visionary approach to storytelling and innovation taught me the importance of imagination and perseverance. Joseph Campbell’s exploration of mythology and the hero’s journey provided a framework for understanding personal transformation. Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra’s teachings on self-awareness and the mind-body connection deepened my understanding of holistic living, while Louise Hay’s work on self-love and healing profoundly influenced my approach to self-development.
Rich
How do you stay grounded and focused on your work? Do you have any practices that you find helpful?
Tashai
Absolutely. One of the key practices I recommend is incorporating quick self-care routines into your morning to start your day on a positive note. Personally, I begin each day with meditation, journaling in my gratitude book, and visualizing my ideal life. These activities set a positive tone and provide clarity for the day ahead. Additionally, I rely on accountability partners and participate in group masterminds, which are invaluable for maintaining focus and staying on track with my projects.
Rich
Can you share any exciting upcoming projects you are working on?
Tashai
I’m excited to share that my current project is a unique card deck designed to help authors self-edit their non-fiction books. With the statistic that one in four people aspire to write a book, there is a tremendous amount of need for this. However, not everyone can afford professional editing services or fully understands the value an editor brings. This card deck aims to bridge that gap by providing practical tips and guidance on the art and technical aspects of editing. It will help authors enhance their writing style, ensure their book is marketable, and ultimately produce a polished and professional manuscript.
Rich
