Annabel Monaghan: Being True To Yourself, Following Your Passions, & Filtering Out Things That Impede Your Success

This week Andrew talks with national bestselling author Annabel Monaghan. In college, Annabel studied English at Duke University — but didn’t immediately pursue a career as a novelist. Instead, she went on to get an MBA & spent the beginning of her career in investment banking. Eventually, Annabel pivoted back to writing — and ultimately became a bestselling author. This conversation is filled with powerful ideas about being true to yourself, following your passions, developing new ideas, filtering out things that impede your success, & so much more.  Show Highlights: 0:00 - Intro 2:10 - Decision to major in English 6:15 - Getting MBA and starting career as investment banker 8:23 - “I didn’t write anything until I was 37” 8:55 - Learning from past experience 10:10 - Courage to pivot back to writing 14:01 - Writing first successful novel 16:54 - Filtering out things that impede your success 20:10 - Avoiding the comparison game 21:45 - Creative process 25:40 - Developing new ideas 28:08 - Teaching others  ** Follow Andrew On Social ** Twitter/X: @andrewhmoses Instagram: @AndrewMoses123 Sign up for e-mails to keep up with Andrew"s podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletter
