#76 The Author Advantage: Book Writing For Business Growth with Emma Williams, Dan Kowalski & Debbie Jenkins

What does it truly mean to become an author in the realm of business? As I sat down with book coach Debbie Jenkins, first-time author Dan Kowalski, and third-time author Emma Williams, I found myself intrigued by their insights. The conversation flowed from the process of writing a book to the mindset shift it demands, and most importantly, when one finally dons the hat of an author. Dan's experience with his book "Wise Choices at Work" opened up a critical discourse on understanding one's target audience and structuring the book with them in mind. The consensus? Writing the book is just the beginning—launching it is the real game. As we moved forward, we delved into the world of unconventional book writing processes and the power of collaboration. Who would have thought that the support from cohort members could have such a profound impact on the writing process? Debbie Jenkins, the brain behind this unique approach, shared her motivations and stressed the importance of retaining your authentic voice while writing. With a strong emphasis on steering clear from the cookie-cutter approach, this segment was a testament to the power of collaboration. The final part of our conversation was a poignant examination of the reader's feedback, the responsibility shouldered by writers, and the mixed bag of satisfaction and fear that accompanies authorship. The potential of a book to propel business growth and form a crucial part of an author's personal identity was another vital topic we touched upon. From Debbie's inspirational journey to Dan's practical insights and Emma's transformative experiences, this episode is a treasure trove of wisdom.

I've kind of stepped into, dare I even say, the word thought leadership. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have said that six months ago. I feel changed by the process and I feel like I'm getting into my stride." - Emma Williams "Books are like magic door openers and you might not make money on the individual book, but if you do it well, your book will be a business asset and you will make more money than you invested." - Deb Jenkins Resources: Debbie Jenkins - https://expertauthor.academy/ Dan Kowalski - WISE plus - Plan A Thinking Emma Williams - https://l.linklyhq.com/l/1u9Zg   Get connected with host Finola Howard:  https://www.finolahoward.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/finolahoward/ https://www.instagram.com/thisisfinolahoward https://www.facebook.com/thisisfinolahoward https://www.youtube.com/c/howgreatmarketingworks https://www.twitter.com/FinolaHoward This podcast is proudly produced in partnership with podlad.com
