Overcoming the Overwhelming

Writing a book is no small feat, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed by the process. But rest assured, you're not alone.

We walk you through Why, Who, What, When, Where, and How!?

Why We Wrote It

Speaking of “Why” … together, Amanda and I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge regarding the publishing industry and small business building. As creators and coaches of the Author Business Network, we have empowered countless authors to write, publish, market, and build successful businesses around their books. Our expertise extends beyond the realm of writing, as we also assist small business owners in positioning themselves in the marketplace with solid HR strategies and a book of your own to distinguish you from your competition.

It took me fifteen years to write and publish my first book. Now with over twenty years of experience in the publishing industry, I want to shorten that window substantially for authors coming up the ranks. I remember all too well the encyclopedia-style book I read on the subject. I still have it, and now I laugh when I look back through it. Not only was it too much information. It was too much of the wrong information. I needed clear and concise answers. That’s what we provide with The Author Solution Series. This first book, I’ve Been Told I Should Write a Book, can be thought of as a prequel to a growing series. It covers the questions we actually received from authors during our onboarding and coaching sessions.?

The number one question we receive is, “Where do I start”? We cover that in the book! The answer depends on many factors and we explain those as well. So often you’ll hear a one-size fits all answer to sell you a “system”. That is not our goal and never has been. Our goal is to help you get the answers YOU need to build the author business of YOUR dreams. Your dream may be very different from our author dreams.?

Beyond Excuses, Embrace Your Dreams

It's time to leave your excuses behind and take the leap toward your writing dreams. What questions do you have? What’s keeping you from your dream? Stop making excuses, get the answers you seek, and start writing. Here’s the number one thing to keep in mind as you think or dream about your book, who is missing the blessing your book will provide? Who? Who needs to hold your book? It may just be you, your family, or someone specific in your life. But it could also be an entire group of people that will benefit from what you have to say.?

Knowing you are helping others is a tremendous reward and with it comes a great responsibility to do whatever it takes to get your book in their hands.
