Episode 66: The Dissertation That Pays: Turning Research Into Revenue and Real Impact

Summary

In this deeply personal episode, I’m taking you inside my doctoral journey, and showing you how I’m transforming it into something far greater than a degree. As I work toward my Doctorate in Education, I’m not just writing a dissertation; I’m writing my next book in real time.

I share how I’m using the same writing systems I teach my clients to structure my dissertation like a professional author, outline chapters with clarity, and stay disciplined even when life feels full. You’ll hear how I’m bridging academic excellence with entrepreneurial purpose, using my research to build new programs, a certification track, and the foundation for my next published work.

Whether you’re a student, a thought leader, or someone balancing multiple callings, this episode will challenge you to think beyond your degree, beyond your title, and into how your current work can fuel your next level of impact.

Key Takeaways

Leverage What You’re Learning
Your dissertation or academic work can be more than a degree requirement — it can become a book, program, or revenue-generating asset.
Repurpose With Intention
Think beyond completion. Every chapter, story, and insight can be reimagined to serve your audience and expand your brand.
Write With Discipline, Not Emotion
Waiting for motivation doesn’t work. Set writing sprints, schedule your time, and show up — even when it’s inconvenient.
Keep Your Voice, Even in Academia
Academic writing is formal, but your ideas still need to flow and reflect your authentic voice and perspective.
Pursue Purpose, Not Perfection
Your degree won’t replace fulfillment or peace. True purpose comes from within — and it’s what gives your work meaning beyond the title.
