    HUB 524: AUTHOR PANEL - Angie Callen, Bill Soroka, and Renee Rubin Ross

    Getting someone to say yes to joining your launch team is only the beginning. One of the biggest mistakes authors make when setting a review goal is assuming most people who join their launch team will actually read the book, follow the instructions, and post a written review. They won't. Even people who are genuinely excited about your book get busy. They forget. They mean to come back to it. Some will read the book and never post a review. Others will leave a star rating instead of the written review you were hoping for. Getting Amazon reviews is hard. If you want more than 20 written reviews, you need a much larger group of people supporting your launch, and you need to follow up. That's why I recommend building a launch team that's roughly three times the size of your written review goal. If you're aiming for 50 reviews, you want about 150 people on your launch team. And then you need a plan for staying in touch with them throughout the launch. Following up isn't about pestering people. They volunteered to support you. Your reminders help the people who intended to leave a review actually get it done. I've used this approach for my own books and with my launch clients because I don't want authors crossing their fingers and hoping enough reviews appear. I want them to have a strategy that supports the best intentions of launch team members. If you'd like help creating a launch strategy that generates 50 or more Amazon reviews and creates a pipeline from your book to your business, schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at⁠ www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com⁠. And now, let's meet today's panelists. Angie Callen wrote “Scary Good: Discovering Life Beyond the Sunday Scaries,” a guide for people who dread the start of the workweek and are ready to rethink their relationship with work and create a more fulfilling career and life. Bill Soroka wrote “Rethinking The Notary: The Estate Planning Professional's Guide to Partnering With Credentialed Notaries to Expand Reach, Reduce Risk, and Deliver an Exceptional Client Experience,” a guide for estate planning professionals on working strategically with credentialed notaries to better serve clients while extending their reach and reducing risk. Renee Rubin Ross wrote “Inclusive Strategic Planning for Nonprofits: A Five-Step Process to Expand Energy, Alignment, and Opportunity,” a practical guide to helping nonprofit leaders create a strategic planning process that brings more voices into the conversation and builds greater alignment around the organization's direction. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Build A Bigger Launch Team: Written review goals require more supporters than most authors expect. 🟠 Follow Up With Intention: Reminders help people who already meant to read, review, and support the book. 🟠 Know The Book’s Real Job: A book can spread an idea, support a business, or open conversations beyond sales. 🟠 Price For Reach: Lowering the price can help more readers discover and engage with the message. 🟠 Give Books Away Strategically: Physical copies can spark conversations, referrals, and unexpected opportunities. 🟠 Expect Creative Grief: Releasing a book can feel emotional once the editing, tweaking, and control are over. 🟠 Let Community Expand Visibility: Author collaboration creates more reasons to talk about the book again. 🟠 Pace the Next Book: New ideas may arrive quickly, but the first book still needs time and attention.

    HUB 523: AUTHOR PANEL - Kim Groshek and Mitch Weisburgh

    What would you rather have: a bestseller screenshot or three conversations with ideal prospects? As an entrepreneurial author, I’d take the conversations.  There’s nothing wrong with wanting your book to become an Amazon bestseller. It feels good. It gives you something to celebrate and share. But if you wrote your book to grow your business, bestseller status shouldn’t be the only way you measure success. I’d rather know that your launch reconnected you with a former colleague who now wants to introduce you to a potential client. Or that someone on your launch team invited you to speak. Or that a reader reached out because your book helped them realize you’re exactly the person they need to hire. Those outcomes may never show up on an Amazon bestseller list, but they can have a much bigger impact on your business. That’s why I encourage authors to think about what they actually want their book to accomplish before they plan the launch. Once you know the business outcomes you’re working toward, you can build a launch strategy designed to create them. If you’d like help creating a launch strategy that generates reviews and creates a pipeline from your book to your business, schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at⁠ www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com⁠. And now, let’s meet today’s panelists. Kim Groshek wrote “Master How to Write a Tiny Book: Written as a Tiny Book,” a short book that demonstrates its own approach while showing aspiring authors how to turn an idea into a focused, manageable book. Mitch Weisburgh wrote “MindShifting: Stop Your Brain From Sabotaging Your Happiness and Success,” a guide to recognizing the mental patterns that can get in our way and learning how to shift those patterns to improve happiness and success. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Write For One Reader: A focused reader helps shape the structure, examples, and learning experience. 🟠 Practice What You Teach: A practical book can demonstrate its own method while teaching the reader. 🟠 Help Readers Shift: Strong feedback comes when people apply the book and see real change. 🟠 Use AI For Research: AI can help organize examples and options without replacing the author’s voice. 🟠 Protect Writing Time: Dedicated writing blocks keep a book moving even when other projects compete for attention. 🟠 Connect The Bigger Story: A book works better when it fits into the author’s broader mission, courses, and offers.

    HUB 522: EXPERT INTERVIEW - Kim Eley

    If you've ever thought about writing a book, you've probably realized pretty quickly that there are a lot of decisions to make. Should you self-publish or pursue another publishing path? Which type of editor do you need? What comes after you've finished the manuscript? And how do you know you're making the right choices? Today's guest helps authors answer those questions, and many others, every day. Through KWE Publishing, she and her team work with nonfiction and children's book authors who want guidance through the writing, publishing, and marketing process. They support authors with book coaching, ghostwriting, editing, design, publishing, audiobook production, and much more. What I appreciate about her approach is that she understands there isn't one right way to become an author. Some people are starting with an idea. Others have a completed manuscript sitting on their computer. Her team helps authors figure out what they need and what makes sense for their goals. In today's conversation, we'll talk about what authors should know before they begin, some of the biggest decisions they'll make along the way, and how to make the publishing process feel a little less overwhelming. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Ask Better Questions Early: Intention, success, message, and ideal reader should shape the path before production begins. 🟠 Choose the Right Publishing Path: Traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing options only make sense when matched to the author’s goals. 🟠 Protect the Author’s Voice: Strong support should guide the process without taking over the message. 🟠 Replace Bestseller Chasing: Reviews, word of mouth, presales, and visibility create stronger proof than a category badge. 🟠 Build Trusted Referral Networks: Authors benefit when experts collaborate and connect them with the right next resource.

    HUB 521: AUTHOR PANEL - Daniel Brewer and Melissa Dinwiddie

    One of the biggest mistakes I see authors make has nothing to do with their book. It has to do with who they invite to support it. When most authors hear the phrase “launch team,” they immediately think of friends and family. They put together a list of 20 or 30 people who love them and are happy to cheer them on. If that’s your entire launch team, you’re missing a huge opportunity. You may also send Amazon mixed signals if the people buying and reviewing your book are not the readers it was written for. A book launch is one of the few times in your business when you have a compelling reason to reconnect with people in your network. Your launch team should include likely prospects, referral partners, colleagues, podcast hosts, and others who would benefit from your book’s message or know someone who would. If someone joins your launch team, they’re raising their hand to spend time with you over several weeks. They’re reading your book, attending your private launch team training, and engaging with your content. Those touchpoints can lead to conversations and opportunities long after launch day. Your goal isn’t simply to collect Amazon reviews. It’s to use your book launch as a business development strategy. That’s why I recommend building a launch team that’s about three times larger than your Amazon review goal and thinking carefully about who belongs on that list. If you’d like help creating a launch strategy that generates reviews and creates a pipeline from your book to your business, schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. And now, let’s meet today’s panelists. Daniel Brewer wrote "The Book of Customer Service: A No-Nonsense Guide to Earning Trust and Keeping Customers Coming Back," a straightforward business book that shows organizations how to build customer loyalty by delivering exceptional service. Melissa Dinwiddie wrote "Innovation at Work: 52 Micro-Experiments for Brave Leaders Who Want to Unstick Teams, Spark Ideas, and Build What's Next," a hands-on guide that helps leaders foster creativity and innovation through small, practical experiments that make it easier for teams to generate and act on new ideas. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Learn From Book One: A first book can reveal what support, planning, and marketing you need next time. 🟠 Connect The Book To Speaking: Training, keynotes, and private workshops can give the book a clear business role. 🟠 Use Bonus Content Wisely: Videos, PDFs, and exercises help readers apply the book after they finish reading. 🟠 Build Review Credibility: Written reviews help a book look trustworthy and show that readers engaged with the ideas. 🟠 Let Collaboration Create Connections: Author communities can lead to referrals, partnerships, book swaps, and real-world opportunities.

    You've probably heard that you need to solve a problem for your readers. That's good advice. But here's the question I wish more aspiring authors would ask before they start writing. Does your ideal reader know they have that problem? Some problems are obvious. Others aren't. Your reader may be frustrated, stuck, or dissatisfied without realizing what's actually causing it. If your book is written for someone who doesn't recognize the problem you're solving, your message may never land the way you intended. That's why understanding your audience matters so much. You need to know how they describe their challenges, what they're already searching for, and whether they're actively looking for a solution. Sometimes the book you want to write isn't the book your audience is ready to read. These are exactly the kinds of conversations we have in the Author ROI Lab. Before you spend months writing a book, we'll help you think through who your ideal reader is, whether your message will resonate with them, and how your book can support your business goals. If you're thinking about writing a business book, learn more at www.AuthorROILab.com. And now, let's meet today's panelists. Joel Benge wrote "Be A Nerd That Talks Good: Transform Your Technical Knowledge into Powerful Messages," a practical guide that helps technical experts communicate complex ideas in ways that engage audiences, build credibility, and inspire action. Loren Sanders wrote "Empathy Is Not A Weakness: And Other Stories from The Edge," a collection of personal and professional stories that challenge common misconceptions about empathy and explore the strength, courage, and leadership that come from embracing it. Stephanie McAuliffe wrote "The Impact of Silence: Reclaim the Sovereignty of Your Soul," a reflective and empowering book that helps readers recognize the costs of silence and reclaim their voice, truth, and personal sovereignty. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Name The Real Problem: A stronger book starts when readers recognize themselves in the challenge. 🟠 Clarify Complex Ideas: Technical experts need language that helps audiences understand, trust, and act. 🟠 Write From The Scars: A second book can shift from raw healing to wisdom, power, and service. 🟠 Use The Book As A Doorway: Books can open coaching, speaking, workshops, and deeper client conversations. 🟠 Make Reviews Less Scary: Honest reviews reveal how the book lands, even with readers outside your usual audience. 🟠 Let Community Expand Reach: Author collaboration helps books travel farther than solo promotion can. 🟠 Measure Usage Over Status: Real impact happens when readers apply the work, not just when they buy the book.

    HUB 519 AUTHOR PANEL - Deborah Reuben, Emma Toops, and Mitch Weisburgh

    "Build it, and they will come” is a terrible strategy for writing a business book. Too many entrepreneurs assume that once their book is published, readers will somehow discover it, recommend it, and start reaching out to become clients. But books rarely create opportunities on their own. They need a clear strategy behind them. Before you write your first chapter, it’s worth asking: How will people find this book? Why will they choose to read it? And once they do, what do I want them to do next? Those questions can dramatically change the book you write and the results it creates. That’s exactly why I created the Author ROI Lab. It’s a small-group program that helps entrepreneurs think strategically before they write, so they create a book that supports their business goals instead of simply adding another title to the marketplace. If you’re considering writing a business book, learn more at www.AuthorROILab.com. And now, let’s meet today’s panelists. Deborah Reuben wrote "Enter the TomorrowZone: How to Inspire Breakthrough Innovation and Shape Your Future," a forward-looking guide that helps leaders move beyond reactive thinking, embrace innovation, and intentionally shape the future they want to create. Emma Toops wrote "Wait, What?!: The Success Formula for When Life Plays Out Differently Than You Expected," an inspiring guide that helps readers navigate unexpected life changes, embrace uncertainty, and redefine success with resilience, purpose, and confidence. Mitch Weisburgh wrote "MindShifting: Stop Your Brain From Sabotaging Your Happiness and Success," a practical personal development book that helps readers recognize unhelpful thought patterns, shift their mindset, and unlock greater happiness, confidence, and success. Would you please leave an honest rating and review on Apple Podcast? They are extremely helpful, and I read each one. Thanks for the inspiration! In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Write For The Real Reader: A busy executive, young adult, or lifelong learner needs a book built for their actual context. 🟠 Make The Book Actionable: Skimmable sections, tools, and takeaways help readers use the ideas right away. 🟠 Hire The Right Support: Different experts can help with manuscript development, production, marketing, and launch. 🟠 Measure The Right Outcome: Success can mean the book reaches the right hands, not just that it sells copies. 🟠 Use Reviews As Evidence: Written reviews show that readers are engaging with the ideas and applying them. 🟠 Create Study Guides And Tools: Book clubs, courses, and discussion guides help turn reading into implementation. 🟠 Test The Next Book First: A future book works better when the audience, offer, and stories are explored before writing.

    You’ve been thinking about writing a book. Maybe you’ve started collecting ideas, blocked time on your calendar to begin, or even outlined a few chapters. But before you invest hundreds of hours writing, editing, and publishing, there’s one question that deserves your attention. Is this book actually worth the time and effort? For entrepreneurs, a book should do more than share your expertise. It should support your business goals. It should attract the right audience, create opportunities for speaking engagements and media appearances, strengthen your credibility, and lead readers toward the work you most want to do. That kind of outcome doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with asking the right questions before you write the first chapter. That’s why I created the Author ROI Lab. It’s a small-group program that helps entrepreneurs evaluate whether the book they’re considering is worth writing and, if so, how to position it to maximize its return on investment. If you’ve been thinking about publishing a business book, take time to gain clarity before you commit months of your life to the wrong project. Sign up at www.AuthorROILab.com. Reach out if you’d like to chat first. And now, let’s meet our panel. Bill Miller wrote "What Every CEO Must Know: 37 Secrets to Lead with Confidence and Power," a practical leadership guide that shares essential lessons to help CEOs make better decisions, build stronger organizations, and lead with greater confidence and effectiveness. Ahmed Zouhair wrote "Going Pro 2.0: Master Your Next Professional Journey," a career development guide that equips professionals with the mindset, strategies, and practical tools to navigate career transitions, accelerate growth, and achieve long-term success. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Clarify The Reader Early: A stronger book starts with knowing exactly who needs it most. 🟠 Write With More Intention: A second book can benefit from lessons learned during the first launch. 🟠 Make The Book Engaging: Visuals, assessments, takeaways, and prompts help readers interact with the material. 🟠 Tie The Book To Speaking: A book can add credibility to keynotes, workshops, breakouts, and masterminds. 🟠 Use Lead Magnets Strategically: Bonus frameworks can turn readers into subscribers, prospects, and ongoing relationships. 🟠 Keep Learning From Reviews: Reader feedback helps authors understand what is landing and what needs refinement. 🟠 Bring Books Into The Room: Giving away signed copies at events can create memorable conversations. 🟠 Hire A Professional Editor: Strong content still needs editing, structure, and formatting that support the readers’ experience.

    HUB 517: AUTHOR INTERVIEW - Jeremy Shapiro

    What do you do when you've outgrown hustle, but your business hasn't caught up yet? Today's guest helps entrepreneurs navigate one of the most challenging stages of business growth: the point where working harder is no longer the answer. Instead, success depends on building the systems, teams, and leadership capacity that allow a business to scale. As a business coach and entrepreneur, he works with owners who have achieved success but find themselves trapped by it. Their business depends on them for too many decisions, too many approvals, and too much day-to-day involvement. His work helps leaders build businesses that can grow without becoming more dependent on the owner. He is also the author of "Your Business Growth Playbook: Breakthrough Strategies to Scale Your Business for Business Owners Who’ve Outgrown Hustle," a practical guide for entrepreneurs ready to stop being the bottleneck and start building a business that can thrive beyond their personal capacity. If you've ever felt like your business can't grow unless you work harder, this conversation will challenge that assumption and offer a different path forward. Please join me in welcoming Jeremy Shapiro. In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Move Beyond Hustle: Early-stage effort can build a business, but it eventually creates burnout and bottlenecks. 🟠 Codify The Playbook: Decades of coaching and entrepreneurship became a repeatable framework once the ideas were written down. 🟠 Give Readers Real Tools: A useful business book should help people take action, not just sell the author’s services. 🟠 Use The FAQ Formula: Frequency, amount, and quantity give owners more than one way to restart growth. 🟠 Serve The Right Stage: Jeremy wrote this book for established owners who have plateaued and need smarter growth levers. 🟠 Track The Bottleneck: Business constraints keep changing, so owners need to measure what is actually slowing growth. 🟠 Watch Churn And Lifetime Value: Retention, cancellation reasons, and customer lifetime value reveal opportunities already inside the business.
