Survival Guide for Dreamers

Survival Guide calendar, day 1If you’ve got a dream (or wish you had one) it’s time to stop being stuck. Let us send you 365 days of Barbara’s help with procrastination and Resistance. This new program is designed to give you exactly what you need to finally get moving. Here’s how it works: One day at a time for a full year Barbara will be with you via a brief email, helping you get past the procrastination and resistance that have kept you from achieving your dreams. That’s it. No exercises to do. No discussions to keep up with. Just an email a day to encourage you and teach you how to deal with whatever prevents you from going after your dreams. Begin your Survival Guide year at any time.

You won’t be alone in finishing the exercises.


Thinking Through Refuse to Choose: 101 things every Scanner should know

Thinking Through Refuse to Choose coverAre you a Scanner? These are people with a different (and often misunderstood) type of mindset: they’re curious and smart, always happiest when learning something new. But no matter how promising a path may appear, Scanners can never give up their love of exploring. And therein lies the problem: despite their passionate engagement with the world and their love of life, Scanners are unable to decide on one path, and they’re often afraid that there’s something horribly wrong with them. It’s usually forgotten that such people were once admired for their wide range of knowledge, even called Renaissance thinkers. Now they’re often labeled as immature, lazy dilettantes by a culture that prizes specialization above all else. I wrote this 99-cent Kindle book (with two great helpers) to highlight the top 101 takeaways from my book, Refuse to Choose! Use All of Your Interests, Passions, and Hobbies to Create the Life and Career of Your Dreams. Use it as an introduction or as a reminder after you read the book. Purchase this Kindle book here.


WriteSpeak Online: Write Your Own Success Story

WriteSpeak Online registration is closed now until February 8, 2025. This is Barbara’s entire WriteSpeak program—the 6-hour, highly interactive Teleworkshop plus a new 48-week online version of the material that was in her WriteSpeak retreat and telecourse, all for a fraction of the earlier price. The course is now taught by Patty Newbold, who taught it with Barbara since 2007, and Patrice Jenkins, a member of that first group and the first WriteSpeaker to be published, who taught it with Barbara and Patty in 2020 and with Patty since then. We also offer optional monthly group coaching and one-on-one coaching. Those who have already completed the required Teleworkshop and want to add the 48-Week Course should write to webmaster@barbarasclub.com.

For more information, check out barbarasclub.com/writespeak or listen to this Telesummit recording: How to Become a Writer and Speaker by Next February. New member registration will open again on February 8, 2025. Come find your message and your audience and begin your writing and speaking career.

    • If you’re on Barbara’s mailing list, you’ll be notified. The link is on every page, or on http://barbarasher.com, where you get a bonus of a PDF on running Idea Parties. Barbara’s executor is pushing her paperwork through a clogged-up legal pipeline. We hope to resume as soon as it pops out the other end.

  1. I may or may not be on the mailing list; I kinda think I am. But just to be sure, I’m adding my name to the mailing list thingiee, clear at the bottom of this page.

    • The next Refuse to Choose book club is probably July of 2021, Kate. Registration for the Live the Life You Love book club should open on June 18, 2020.

  2. Hello,
    Is Barbara Sher still running courses for people who would like to learn her method? If so kindly confirm the date for 2020 and where to sign up.
    thank you.

    • Our book clubs are 16-week courses, Gary, and WriteSpeak is a year-long course that launches every March. The next book club is one of our most popular, as we’ll be reading Barbara’s I Could Do Anything, a NY Times best seller and her best guide to dealing with the resistance we experience as we pursue (or even try to recall) our dreams.

  3. Hello
    What is the difference between being on the mailing list and signing up for the newsletter?
    Thank you!
    Katherine
