    HUB 437: AUTHOR PANEL - Emily Crookston, Gloria Treister, and Marva Bailer

    Do you ever feel like your words have to be perfect before they see the light of day? You’re not alone. Many first-time authors get stuck in this cycle, endlessly tweaking sentences. But the truth is, your first draft isn’t meant to be flawless. It’s meant to be a foundation. Writing a book is a process—one that will challenge and refine not only your ideas but your voice, too. Embracing imperfection is key, because it allows you to move forward, to learn, and to create something that can be polished into a masterpiece later. I can introduce you to several Biz Book Publishing Hub Partners who can help you get through the writing process. Check out this free resource at www.BizBookPublishingHub.com.  Now, let’s dive into today’s panel. Our authors will share the ups and downs of their author journeys. Emily Crookston wrote “Unwritten: The Thought Leader’s Guide to Not Overthinking Your Business Book,” which simplifies the process of writing, positioning, and promoting a business book, helping entrepreneurs turn big ideas into impactful publications without overthinking. Gloria Treister wrote “Wellness 101: Simple Steps to Good Health,” a practical guide that empowers readers to simplify wellness, take control of their health, and create a personalized plan for a vibrant, healthier life. Marva Bailer wrote “Be Unexpected: Resetting Routines to Revolutionize the Future of Work,” which reimagines outdated business norms with creative strategies and relatable soft skills to foster meaningful connections and energize modern workplaces. Please join me in welcoming Emily, Gloria, and Marva.  In this episode, we discuss the following: Journey to Imperfection: Understand why the first draft of your business book is not about perfection but a strong foundation to refine your ideas and voice. Effective Strategies for Networking: Unlock the secrets of cultivating meaningful connections that elevate your personal brand and foster new opportunities. Client Engagement through Books: Discover how books can seamlessly integrate into your business strategy to attract clients and expand your reach. Publishing Pitfalls & Triumphs: Learn from real-life stories about the challenges and successes in book publishing to better navigate your own journey.

    HUB 431 AUTHOR PANEL - Irma Parone, Judi Lawrence, and Penny Zenker

    When you start writing, it can be easy to get hung up on making every word perfect. But here’s a secret: the real magic happens through the process of revision. Your first draft is just that—a starting point, not the finished product. Embracing imperfection means giving yourself permission to create, to experiment, and even to make mistakes. It’s the challenges and edits along the way that will shape not just your book, but your growth as a writer. Every step is progress, even when it feels messy.

Judi Lawrence is the author of “The Apostille Agents' Survival Guide: A Not-So-Secret Reference Handbook to International Document Services,” which shares how to add this critical service to your list of services or as a brand new venture. Penny Zenker wrote “The Reset Mindset: Get Unstuck, Focus on What Matters Most, and Reach Your Goals Faster,” which shares a proven method that not only ensures that you never get “stuck” again but can also unlock new levels of performance personally and collectively. Please join me in welcoming Irma, Judi, and Penny.  In this episode, we discuss the following: 🖊️ Embrace the Journey: Understand the magical shift from drafting to revising, where the real transformation happens, and how giving yourself permission to experiment can lead to unexpected growth and success. 📚 Know Your Audience: Learn the power of knowing exactly who you're writing for, whether it's employees, notaries, leaders, or individuals facing change, and how it directly impacts your book's success. 💡 Power of Reviews: Discover actionable strategies to gather impactful reviews and why they matter more than ever, serving as social proof to boost your book's visibility and credibility. 💬 Effective Marketing: Gain insights into strategic book marketing techniques, including the importance of bonus content and how to amplify your authorship to grow your business, attract prospects, and land speaking engagements.
