Your Next Step

The other day I received a message from an Instagram follower.

She wanted to “pick my brain” and I agreed.

We talked for about an hour and at the end she said,
“you should offer this to more people.”

So.

Here we are.

One of my favorite things to do is to help artists, creatives, and leaders take the first step or next step.

Taking a step is always scary and I’ve found it’s easier to take that step when you take it with someone else.

And I’d like to help you take that next step.

Over the course of the past few years I have received countless emails, messages, and notifications
from people who want to pick my brain, have a conversation, talk about life, or ask questions about _________.

[ Scroll down to see what people are saying ]

A few the most frequent questions I’m asked are:

How did you start your writing career?
I want to self-publish a book. Can you tell me about how you self-published yours?
Can you share with me how you got started?
Would you be able to get coffee with me sometime?
Can you tell me how to get my work out to more people?
How do I grow my Instagram following?
Can you give me some feedback on my writing?
I want to do what you do, but don’t know where to begin. Will you help me? 
Could I ask you some questions about your work?
How do you _________?
When did you _______?
Can you _________?

I’ve even gotten messages asking me questions regarding:
Church + Faith.
Burnout.
Hope.
Creativity.
Podcasting.
Public speaking.
Self-publishing.
Career transition.
Entrepreneurship.
Writer’s block.

Over the years I’ve come to learn a great deal about each of these topics. 

If you’ve got a question (or just want to talk) you think I can help with, please send me an email,
and we’ll get on a call (video, phone - whichever is best) and talk. 

As an independent writer and business owner I have limited time.
For as much as I would love to do this for free I will need to charge $65 per hour-long session.

Send me a message below to inquire about a call or schedule one!

Tanner Olson

What are people saying?

“Before speaking with Tanner, I had felt like I was floundering business-wise and was lacking a sense of direction. With one call, Tanner was able to break down and assess my needs and provide me with the next steps I should be taking with my business. I am so grateful for Tanner’s transparency and willingness to show his personal gameplans, process, and steps he’s taken in his own business and life. He is such a generous person and it is evident that he really cares about helping whoever he speaks with. I truly left the call feeling excited, inspired, and eager to work towards my goals!”

- Ellen Everett, Poet and Author

“Working with Tanner for an hour was inspiring and actionable. He was genuinely curious about my story and where his experience could support further growth. Tanner was relatable and accessible. He genuinely wants us all to keep showing up and finding the work that lights us up. I feel ready to move forward in a few new areas!”

- Jenny Smith, Poet and Author

“I am someone just starting my service based business. I had NO idea where to start and felt a loss of focus. Tanner did an amazing job walking me through all my jumbled thoughts and pin pointing where my focus needs to be for the next immediate steps. “

“I really appreciated how Tanner went through and asked specific questions about my small business, my goals, and me as a person. Once he understood my heart behind my business and what I wanted others to get from my business he went into the specifics. We looked at my Instagram account and my website to pinpoint some areas that needed tightening up. We worked together on some of the areas I was struggling with and helped me organize my ideas to then put them into practice.”

“Tanner is amazing at asking the right questions at getting to the root of your struggle and where your barriers are. I left my time with Tanner confident of my next steps and with the clarity I was looking for”

“Tanner is a wealth of knowledge…and not the knowledge that you read in books or repeat from podcasts…but actual experience based knowledge. When you talk with Tanner you can tell that he has been there, done that, and learned a lot. Tanner is generous with his knowledge and does not hold back anything. I am so grateful I took that time to sit down with Tanner and soak in all he has to offer.”
