Gary Westfal

I started my writing journey completely by accidental coincidence, or by divine providence. Either way you look at it, one thing is certain…

Everything happens for a reason.

Bio

I grew up in middle-class America with no advantages to speak of and plenty of disadvantages I’d rather not speak of. I had every reason t to fail, quit, give up, and complain. But I never did. Instead, I somehow sought every opportunity I could to rise above the limitations that surrounded me.

I played football in high school, learned how to work together with others on a common objective, and was led by smart coaches who instilled a sense of confidence in me that has been a part of my DNA ever since.

I joined the US Air Force as soon as I graduated high school and took on one of the most challenging jobs I could find— air traffic control. I had no idea what I was getting into, nor did I know anything about the daunting 35% failure rate that I was about to face. But I persevered and made it and ultimately enjoyed one of the most rewarding career tracks in aviation.

Somewhere along the way, late into my career, I discovered a passion for writing. As a traditional artist, I was already connected with the process required to leverage my imagination and to release the flow of creativity it takes to be expressive in either endeavor. But I had a lot to learn about everything it takes to write, and ultimately, publish a book.

I wrote an article that best captures the essence of how I became a writer. It’s a fascinating journey of how I accidentally tripped into the wonderful world of writing.

Books

I published my first book some three-and-a-half years after I began writing my first manuscript. Looking back upon the experience, I can honestly say that it was one of the most enjoyable and fascinating journeys of my life.

Fast forward a rather quick decade-plus, and I now have my own publishing company and have published five books — two of them best-sellers!

Published Books by Gay Westfal

After publishing two best-selling novels (Dream Operative and Key Horizon), I received a higher call to publish personal development books. Publishing each of the personal development books brought me closer to my readers than I could have ever imagined. These books also paved the way and provided the credibility I needed to serve people as a human performance and life skills coach and mentor.

Personal Development Coaching

I went on to create an online course (in mid-2020) designed to help people find and leverage their purpose and to discover the answers that already exist within themselves. It’s called You Are the Answer. And I recently unlocked the first five lessons for just $7.

The fact is until you get YOU right, you’re out of balance and out of step with the natural laws of the Universe. Relationships don’t work well, opportunities seem to evade you, and real and lasting happiness is elusive. You Are the Answer will show you how to get YOU right and open the pathways to your purpose and passions. It’s the inside straight to a winning hand of success and personal achievement that affects virtually every area of your life…no matter who you are or what your goals and objectives may be.

G-Life! Magazine

I discovered Medium.com in 2019. I was writing a monthly personal development and empowerment blog at the time and discovered how to create my own publication on the site (ever the publicist). I named the publication after my podcast (or is it the other way around?), which is named after my publishing company (G-Life! Enterprises).

I started posting my articles onto the G-Life! Magazine publication and had a scant few followers…until I received an email from Jon Brosio and another from Tom Kuegler. Both of these gentlemen helped me to discover new ways to leverage my presence on the Medium platform. And, as a result of applying just a few of their recommendations, I was able to increase my followership and engagement by several hundred of the most amazing and positive writers on the web! Thanks, guys.

Podcast

I recently started a podcast and titled it (yup, you guessed it) G-Life! Magazine. Never having actually created a podcast, I got busy and started learning everything I could about how to actually accomplish the task. After a short two months, I’ve produced about four episodes which have over 50 downloads. To top that, I’ve been syndicated on over 18 streaming outlets!

I limit each episode to about ten minutes (give or take) of insightful, inspirational, and actionable information you can use to consider an empowering perspective for your own life. You should give it a listen. Here’s a Spotify link:
