We were lucky to catch up with Dr. Paulette Harper recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Dr. Paulette thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
Come and enter a world where triumph and creativity come together, where the power of words becomes a source of hope. As someone who has faced emotional struggles and honed my skills as a wordsmith, I’ve discovered my true purpose: guiding new authors, strong women of faith, influential thought leaders, and visionary coaches on an extraordinary journey. Together, we unravel the secrets of crafting impactful stories that have the power to capture hearts and minds.
My mission goes beyond just offering guidance; it’s a special role I play as a literary mentor, nurturing the birth of dreams and visions. There’s nothing more satisfying than witnessing these aspiring authors reach the pinnacle of their ambitions, where their words become catalysts for profound change. In this world of storytelling, lives are touched, and success echoes like a beautiful symphony.
But it doesn’t stop at artistry and inspiration; there are tangible rewards too. We transform books into a pathway to financial independence and sustainable prosperity. By empowering authors to monetize their works, we pave the way for a thriving business, where passion and purpose come together in an unbreakable alliance.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Affectionately known as “The Story Activator,” I am a thirteen-time bestselling, two-time award-winning author, speaker, and leader in the literary marketplace. I am also the founder of Harper Media & One-Story University, where I specialize in producing anthologies and serve as a self-publishing coach for aspiring nonfiction authors. My expertise includes author coaching, marketing, and business coaching for entrepreneurs.
Additionally, I am the host of Now Faith Is TV. Now Faith Is TV stands as a premier platform for faith-based content, resonating with a vast audience across the nation.
As a minister of the Gospel, my heartfelt mission is to use my gifts to ignite inspiration within others, encouraging them to place their trust in God, dream ambitiously, and never settle for anything less than the very best He has in store for their lives. My unwavering message revolves around living with purpose, unleashing the bounds of what we believe is possible, remaining focused, and wholeheartedly embracing the journey of allowing God to lead us to places we’ve only dared to imagine.
What else should we know about how you took your side hustle and scaled it up into what it is today?
After experiencing one of the darkest seasons in my life, I felt inspired to write my first book, “That Was Then, This Is Now” to chronicle the journey towards wholeness and restoration. Many other aspiring authors saw that I had accomplished something they desired to do, and they began to ask me to teach them the process of publication.
That one book launched my book coaching business that has grown my business to six figures by offering one-on-one coaching, group coaching, and publishing book collaborations.
Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?
My personal library includes books that have played a pivotal role in nurturing my spiritual well-being and fueling my entrepreneurial journey.
The Bible is the foundation of my faith, and it is my source of spiritual empowerment and development.
Other books that strengthen my faith are Crash Faith by Pastor Michael Todd.
Healing is a Choice by Stephen Arterburn.
As an entrepreneur I’ve read such books as: Think and Grow Rich A Black Choice by Dennis Kimbro & Napoleon Hill.
Mindset The New Psychology of Success: How We Can Learn to Fulfill Our Potential by Carol S. Dweck.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey.
