Today we’d like to introduce you to Tarsha Campbell.
Hi Tarsha, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Thank you for the opportunity to share my insights. I am always delighted to engage in discussions that empower and inspire others. Allow me to introduce myself: I am Tarsha Campbell, a book publisher and the author of nine widely acclaimed titles. In addition to my writing, I serve as a certified empowerment coach and speaker, dedicated to uplifting others. I am deeply passionate about my work and committed to making a positive impact.
As an entrepreneur, my story and journey began several years ago when my husband and I made the decision to welcome our first child. Recognizing that this experience was entirely new for us, we resolved to make sacrifices to enable me to stay at home and focus on nurturing our daughter. By living on a single income, we aimed to provide her with the quality time and attention she deserved during her formative years.
During this rewarding period in my life, I made the decision to write and publish my first book. At the time, my understanding of the book publishing process and the requirements of self-publishing was quite limited. Nevertheless, I was determined to make my aspiration a reality, even though I was venturing into unfamiliar territory. My initial career path was distinctly different from my newfound goal, and I was not particularly adept with technology—in fact, I struggled to operate the bulky desktop computer we had. Additionally, my skills in typing and graphic design were underdeveloped, and I lacked knowledge in creating a professional book layout. However, I was fully committed to embracing this challenge as a first-time author and publisher, eager to explore new possibilities.
After successfully publishing and distributing my book through grassroots efforts, numerous opportunities arose for me to share my expertise through teaching and hosting workshops on the subject. Alongside these requests, I began receiving inquiries from aspiring authors seeking assistance in publishing their own works. At this juncture, my husband advised, “If you are serious about professionally helping others publish their books, it would be beneficial for you to deepen your understanding of the industry.” This encouragement served as a catalyst, propelling me further into the fields of book publishing and graphic design. Through diligent study and focused effort, I acquired the knowledge, insights, and confidence necessary to assist others in their publishing journeys. Subsequently, I established DOMINIONHOUSE Publishing & Design, LLC, and the subsequent developments have been remarkable.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Overall, my journey as an entrepreneur has been largely positive. However, like most life experiences, it is inevitable to encounter challenges along the way. I can confidently say that I have faced my share of obstacles throughout this process.
One of the most significant challenges I faced when I first embarked on my entrepreneurial journey was a lack of self-assurance. I often found myself needing to reinforce my belief in my capabilities to succeed in this endeavor, fulfill my clients’ needs, and simultaneously establish a sustainable business. However, through diligent study of my industry and a commitment to enhancing my skills and expertise, I was able to overcome these obstacles. This process not only bolstered my confidence but also facilitated my growth as an entrepreneur.
One of the challenges I faced was determining the value of my time and offerings to my target audience. Initially, I grappled with concerns about whether my pricing was appropriate—whether I was charging too much or too little. I also contemplated the possibility of rejection from those I aimed to serve. However, after several years in business and gaining insights into what it takes to deliver excellence, as well as recognizing the value of my services and products in relation to my knowledge and experience, these initial concerns have since become minor issues. I have grown comfortable with my pricing structure and no longer worry about rejection. I understand that in the business landscape, not every potential client will align with my offerings, and that is a natural aspect of the process.
Throughout my journey as an entrepreneur, author, speaker, and simply as a human being, one significant challenge I have remained mindful of is the tendency to become constrained by others’ perceptions, opinions, and expectations of who I am or who I should be. Allowing this to dictate my path could have led to substantial limitations—leading me to feel “boxed in.” Instead, I chose to transcend these boundaries and embrace a more expansive vision of myself. During my presentations on this topic, I illustrate this concept by physically demonstrating the restriction of a small box. At the conclusion of my talk, I offer actionable steps for the audience to “break free to breakthrough.” This paradigm shift has proven transformative for both myself and those who attend this insightful presentation.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I am the founder of two dynamic brands. The first, DOMINIONHOUSE Publishing & Design, LLC, is a distinguished publishing and graphic design firm committed to excellence and innovation in publishing. The second, Tarsha Campbell Empowers, LLC, is a consultancy specializing in speaking and coaching, focused on guiding individuals toward discovering and achieving their life purpose and realizing their dreams. Through both organizations, I am dedicated to supporting the vision and mission of emerging business leaders, entrepreneurs, aspiring authors, as well as non-profit and ministry leaders.
What distinguishes my business from others in the industry is my unique approach as a leader. Each business leader should infuse their offerings with their individual gifts, talents, wisdom, skills, and experiences to effectively address the needs of their target audience. I refer to this distinctive combination of attributes as a “coat of many colors,” a metaphor for the unique qualities bestowed upon us by our Divine Creator. Embracing this tailored identity is what sets me apart in the marketplace. I am committed to being the best version of myself, striving to provide knowledgeable and supportive guidance to those I am called to serve, empowering them in their journeys and pursuits.
One of my most significant assets in both business and life has been my ability to envision possibilities. Since childhood, I have possessed an innate talent for conceptualizing what could be, allowing me to “see it before I see it.” I believe this capacity for vision is essential for success in any entrepreneurial endeavor. As a creative and content creator, I have harnessed this visionary skill to develop innovative solutions for my clients and personal projects alike. The ability to foresee potential outcomes has proven invaluable, enabling me to navigate challenges and craft effective solutions for those I serve in my business endeavors.
In this regard, I would like to convey an essential aspect of my identity and that of my brands. A commitment to exceptional visionary insight, combined with a dedication to excellence, is fundamental to providing the highest quality products and services to our valued clients.
To support your personal growth of my clients, I am pleased to announce the release of my latest publication from the “Coach in a Book Series™,” titled “My Next Step Vision Board Dream Journal & Planner™.” This empowering resource is meticulously designed to assist individuals in developing and leveraging the transformative power of vision in their lives.
