    HUB 492 AUTHOR PANEL - Chris Fenning, Jennifer Ledet, and Susan Fitzell

    Publishing your book is a moment worth celebrating—but what happens next is what truly determines your book’s impact. The most successful authors aren’t the ones with the loudest voices or biggest followings—they’re the ones who build relationships, create systems, and stay focused on the long game. A strong book launch isn’t about short-term buzz. It’s about building a bridge between your book and your business. When you treat your book as a strategic asset, every review, podcast interview, and event becomes a stepping stone toward greater visibility and revenue. That’s the lens I bring as a book launch strategist. I help authors design launches that feel authentic, achievable, and aligned—using launch teams, soft launch strategy, and virtual events to generate reviews, referrals, and results. If you're ready to turn your book into your best business development tool, let’s talk. Schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. Now let’s dive into our author panel... Jennifer Ledet wrote “Live and Lead by Choice, Not by Chance: Flourish at Any Age, Stage, and Season of Life,” a practical and inspiring guide that helps leaders step out of autopilot and intentionally design a life and career aligned with their values, purpose, and vision for what’s next. Susan Fitzell wrote “Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Maximizing Success through Inclusive Dynamic Workplace Design™,” a forward-thinking resource that equips leaders and organizations to create inclusive environments where neurodivergent employees can thrive and contribute at their highest level. Chris Fenning wrote “Effective Meetings: Great Results. Less Pain. Every Time.,” a concise, no-nonsense playbook that helps leaders reclaim their calendars, run better meetings, and drive clear outcomes without wasting time or energy. Please join me in welcoming Chris, Jennifer, and Susan. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Define Success Beyond Rankings: A grounded view of success that prioritizes doors opened, conversations started, and opportunities created over obsessing on Amazon rank. 🟠 Reframe Bestseller Status as a Distraction: Why the “Amazon bestseller” badge is a game, and why written reviews and ongoing momentum matter more. 🟠 Build a Reviews System That Keeps Working: How a structured follow-up approach helps reviews keep coming in after the initial push, not just during launch week. 🟠 Use Amazon Ads as a Visibility Lever: A realistic look at ads as ongoing optimization work, including how to define what “success” means before spending money. 🟠 Treat Marketing as a Long-Game Practice: Why book marketing has to stay on your radar, and how “refresh” moments can re-open relationships, including through LinkedIn. 🟠 Build a Simple, Repeatable Marketing Plan: A reminder that the authors who win keep showing up with a plan, even after the book has been out for months or years.

    HUB 491: AUTHOR PANEL - Carol Enneking and Janice Litvin

    When you sit down to write, it’s tempting to aim for perfection right out of the gate. But the truth is, your first draft isn’t meant to be flawless—it’s meant to exist. The real transformation happens later, in the rewriting and refining. Allowing yourself to write imperfectly opens the door to discovery. It’s through revising, reshaping, and rethinking that your message gains clarity and power. Every rewrite deepens your understanding of your story—and every messy moment moves you closer to the book you’re meant to create. I can introduce you to Biz Book Pub Hub Partners, who can help you overcome writing challenges. Check out our curated directory, free virtual networking events, and more at www.BizBookPubHub.com.  Now, let’s meet our panelists: Carol Enneking wrote “The Rebalancing Act: Wisdom from Working Women For Success that Matters,” a guide to redefining success on your terms, blending career ambition with wellbeing. Through candid stories and field‑tested strategies, it helps you set boundaries, navigate change, and pursue what actually matters. Janice Litvin wrote “Banish Burnout Toolkit” which offers a step‑by‑step, science‑backed program to spot stress triggers and build sustainable habits. With practical exercises and workplace scripts, it helps you prevent burnout before it starts and sustain your energy over time.  Please join me in welcoming Carol and Janice.  In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Reverse-Engineer the Book’s Business Role: Treat the book as a tool for speaking, programs, or client conversations, not a standalone product. 🟠 Build a Launch Team Around Future Revenue: Invite people to join your launch team who are likely prospects or referral partners for what you want to sell next. 🟠 Focus on Written Reviews, Not Just Star Ratings: Written reviews are harder to earn, but they carry more trust and marketing value. 🟠 Create a Review Follow-Up System: Most supporters need a reminder, and a simple process helps reviews actually get posted. 🟠 Pair the Book With Speaking Offers: When the book is built into keynotes and workshops, it becomes a natural revenue stream. 🟠 Use Collaborations to Expand Reach: Cross-promotion works best when it’s strategic and aligned, not just a generic swap. 🟠 Turn Launch Outreach Into Conversations: A launch sequence can reopen dormant relationships and spark new opportunities.

    HUB 489: AUTHOR PANEL - David T. Norman, Kim Groshek & Laura Ballerini

    You've written your book. You've put in the work. Now you're ready to see it in readers' hands, and that's a huge milestone worth celebrating. But here's what many authors don't realize: publishing your book is just the beginning.  The real work? It's building momentum, connecting with your ideal readers, and turning your book into a tool for long-term business growth. That's where strategy comes in. I help entrepreneurs create intentional book launch plans—starting with clarity on who your readers are and how to reach them from day one. Through virtual launch events, personalized outreach, and content that builds trust, we'll make sure your book becomes a revenue generator, not just a project that you forget about. If you're ready to turn your book into a business asset, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session. Let's discuss how to leverage your book to expand your influence and connect with the right people. Head to  www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com to get started. And now, let me introduce today’s panelists: David Norman wrote “Supercharge: A New Playbook for Leadership,” a practical playbook for leading in real-time, clarifying priorities, making better decisions under pressure, aligning teams around measurable outcomes, and turning strategy into execution with simple, repeatable rituals that managers can actually use. Kim Groshek wrote “Where Do You Go When You Sleep?: Make Better Decisions, Boost Performance, and Leave a Lasting Legacy,” a practical guide to harnessing intentional pauses, sleep, and subconscious processing to make clearer choices, reduce overwhelm, and perform better so you can build a legacy with purpose-driven action. Laura Ballerini wrote “The Green Velvet Chair: Sometimes Inspiration Comes from the Most Unlikely Places,” a collection of vivid, personal essays from a veteran designer showing how art, design, and everyday rituals—family traditions, music, nature, even grief—become practical fuel for creativity and leadership, helping you see differently and make better creative choices. Please join me in welcoming David, Kim, and Laura.  In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Redefine Success Beyond Sales: How shifting from rankings and units sold to conversations and reader responses changes what “working” looks like for business books 🟠 Use Reviews as Proof, Feedback, and Fuel: Why reviews influence buying behavior, how verified purchase reviews help, and what it feels like to learn what readers are taking away 🟠 Make Collaboration a Growth Strategy: How the Kindle Flash Sale creates shared visibility, LinkedIn Lives, and author-to-author momentum that extends beyond the promo window 🟠 Price Promotions Without Devaluing Your Work: Why a temporary 99-cent price can be a smart reach play, especially when the book is one piece of a larger ecosystem 🟠 Write for Transformation, Not Information: Why readers need permission and a clear path, plus practical ways to help them act, including scripts, discussion guides, workbooks, and bonus content Links for David T.

    HUB 487: AUTHOR INTERVIEW - AJ Harper

    What does it take to write a book that truly changes lives—yours included? Today’s guest has made it her life’s work to help authors do exactly that. As a publishing strategist and developmental editor, she’s guided everyone from first-time writers to New York Times bestselling authors with millions of copies sold. Her approach goes far beyond the mechanics of writing—it’s about crafting a must-read that builds connection, credibility, and community. She’s been the writing partner behind ten books with author Mike Michalowicz, including “Profit First” and “Clockwork.” As the Head Writing Coach for Heroic Public Speaking, she has helped thought leaders, scientists, and speakers from Harvard, Yale, and TEDx Cambridge bring their big ideas to the stage with clarity and heart. The authors she coaches learn how to develop transformational manuscripts that make an impact and leave a legacy. Please join me in welcoming AJ Harper.  In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Start With Who You Want to Serve for the Next Five Years: A practical “who” question that anchors your book idea, your message, and the problem (or desire) you’re truly addressing. 🟠 Treat Your Book as Part of Your Ecosystem: How the right book connects to what you want to speak about, coach about, and build in your business over time. 🟠 Use Books to Triage and Clarify What Comes Next: Why writing multiple books can be part of the path, and how a diagnostic lens can help you see what the “real” book is. 🟠 Invest in Book Development and Editing: A candid reminder that skimping here often creates bigger problems later, even if your marketing is strong. 🟠 Stop Chasing Vanity Metrics: Why expensive plays like bestseller campaigns, big displays, and billboards can distract from what actually moves your business forward. 🟠 Build a Launch Team of Likely Prospects and Referral Partners: A launch approach that prioritizes written reviews and real post-launch momentum over short-lived status wins.

    HUB 486: AUTHOR PANEL - Antonio Valles and Kathy Sparrow

    When you write a book, you're not just sharing your knowledge, you're planting the seeds for long-term growth. Your book can open unexpected doors: attracting ideal clients, boosting your visibility, and positioning you as a trusted authority in your space. But to make that kind of impact, you need more than a finished manuscript—you need a strategy that helps your book connect with the right people and lead them back to your business. That’s exactly why I started the Biz Book Pub Hub.

    HUB 485: AUTHOR PANEL - Carlo Mahfouz and Michelle Tillis Lederman

    Yet again, I helped one of my clients have the lightbulb moment that publishing a book isn’t about selling copies. The benefit of a book is how it opens doors. The moment your book hits the world, it becomes a beacon, drawing opportunities you might never have considered. Many authors find that beyond book sales, their work leads to speaking engagements, networking breakthroughs, consulting roles, and other unexpected ways to grow their influence. Your book can position you as an expert, a thought leader, and a sought-after voice in your industry—all while building meaningful connections with those you can impact most. But you need to be ready to seize these opportunities. It’s why I work with authors to develop strategies for maximizing the impact of their books—so every opportunity is met with intention and purpose. Want to talk more about how your book can open doors? Visit www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com to schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch (or relaunch) brainstorming session.

Carlo Mahfouz wrote “Reality Check: In Pursuit of the Right Questions” to help leaders, innovators, and curious minds master the art of asking the right questions at the right time, unlocking clarity, self-awareness, and strategic insight in the face of change. Please join me in welcoming Carlo and Michelle.  In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Beyond Book Sales: How publishing a business book unlocks speaking gigs, consulting roles, and industry visibility far beyond simple royalties.  🟠 Structuring Abstract Ideas: Ways to transform big, abstract frameworks into relatable stories and repeatable processes for your target audience.  🟠 Community & Collaboration: The game-changing impact of author communities, launch teams, and getting honest feedback before you go to print.  🟠 The Power of Strategic Reviews: Step-by-step approaches to continuously gathering Amazon reviews, leveraging bulk orders for speaking, and making your book a core part of your client engagement.
