    HUB 410: AUTHOR PANEL - Bill Soroka, Kristin Oelke, and Michele Molitor

    Why did you write a business book? Because you wanted it to be read. Of course, it helps if your book is read by the people who would most benefit from your ideas. That’s why I guide my author clients to build launch teams filled with likely prospects and referral partners. As a business owner, these are exactly the people you want to be reaching out to, especially when you have a new resource to share. This builds a pipeline to your offers that come after the book, whether speaking, coaching, consulting, or some other service. Conversations with prospects and referral partners could lead to new revenue and media opportunities. Revenue is a success metric you can take to the bank! If you’d like to schedule a complimentary 30-minute book launch brainstorming session, please complete the form at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com.  In a moment, we’ll hear from today’s panel about their author journey, lessons learned, and strategies that worked. Learning from one another is one of the things I love most about our author community.  Let’s hear from our fantastic panelists about their experience writing, publishing, and marketing their business books. Bill Soroka is the author of six books. He’s been a repeat guest on this show because he has so much knowledge to share when it comes to leveraging a business book into a successful business. His niche audience is notaries, but his advice applies to all small business owners and thought leaders thinking about writing a book. Kristin Oelke wrote “Trust: Unlocking B2B Growth in Today's AI World,” which explores the pivotal role of trust in fostering personal and organizational growth, providing actionable insights and strategies for building and maintaining trust in various relationships. Michele Molitor co-wrote “I Am Perfectly Flawsome: How Embracing Imperfection Makes Us Better,” which guides readers to celebrate their unique flaws and build self-esteem through self-acceptance.

    HUB 406: EXPERT INTERVIEW - Stephanie Thoma

    I’m pleased to interview one of our Biz Book Publishing Hub's Founding Partners. Our Hub Partners are experts who support entrepreneurs along their author journey.  Today’s guest has dedicated her career to helping others build meaningful connections. She specializes in empowering introverts to develop a sense of self-worth, discover their community, and pursue the careers of their dreams. Having grown up painfully shy and feeling like an outsider, she once believed that forming deep, authentic connections with many people was impossible, which held her back from trying. However, everything changed as she embraced leadership roles and began to reveal a more outgoing side of herself. Since then, she has been on a mission to reframe what it means to be an introvert. Initially leading by example, she now helps others through her company, Confident Introvert. Through corporate workshops, webinars, and private one-on-one coaching, she empowers introverts to enhance their networking skills. To further share her insights, she wrote “Confident Introvert: A Practical Guide to Connecting with Others at Networking Events and Beyond.”  She is a Hub Partner because she collaborates with nonfiction authors looking to blend strategy with personal storytelling from an empowered, heart-centered perspective. She is a certified hypnotherapist, guiding clients through the writing process by addressing issues related to visibility, confidence, and vulnerability.  Please join me in welcoming Stephanie Thoma.  In this episode, we discuss: 📘 Book Insights & Growth: Stephanie shares strategies from her book "Confident Introvert" and reveals her shift to a narrative therapy style in "Not That Sweet," aiming for personal clarity and social understanding. 📘 Engaging the Audience: Stephanie plans to connect with her readers through book club questions and speaking engagements, promoting a conversational and intimate style. 📘 Community & Networking: She discusses the vibrant Biz Book Publishing Hub, a supportive community for entrepreneurial authors, and highlights collaborations with Hub Partners as pivotal to her journey. 📘 Authentic Writing Approach: Emphasizing unfiltered first drafts to capture true experiences, Stephanie encourages vulnerability and honesty in storytelling, believing it fosters deeper connections and relatability. Listen in to discover why Stephanie Thomas' approach to writing and community engagement is essential for aspiring business authors and introverts seeking growth and connection!
