  HUB 518: AUTHOR PANEL - Ahmed Zouhair and Bill Miller

  Aug 17, 202645 min

  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

  Aug 10, 202654 min

  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.

  HUB 516: AUTHOR PANEL - Bill Miller, Kate Vawter, and Judi Lawrence

  Aug 3, 202648 min

  Many entrepreneurial authors feel uncomfortable promoting themselves. They worry about sounding salesy. They do not want to overwhelm their audience. And for some, the idea of repeatedly talking about their book feels exhausting or even inauthentic. So they stay quiet. But the challenge is this: if people do not know about your book, they cannot benefit from it. The good news is that promotion does not have to feel pushy.  One of the easiest ways to market your book is to do it alongside other authors. When authors collaborate, share audiences, and support each other’s visibility, promotion starts to feel more like a community and less like self-promotion. That’s one of the reasons I created the Kindle Flash Sale. It brings together entrepreneurial authors who cross-promote each other’s books during a coordinated campaign, helping everyone expand their reach, build momentum, and connect with new readers. If promoting your book feels uncomfortable, or if you would rather market your book as part of a collaborative community instead of trying to do it all alone, learn more about the next Kindle Flash Sale at www.KindleFlashSale.com.  And now, let’s meet today’s panelists. Bill Miller wrote "The Rookie CEO, You Can't Make This Stuff Up! Learn How 9 Rookie CEOs Got There, Executed, Created Their Stories and Led!", a leadership book that shares real stories from first-time CEOs and the lessons they learned while stepping into the top role, making decisions under pressure, and leading through uncertainty. Dr. Kate Vawter wrote "Better Boss Blueprint: How Great Managers Build Trust, Inspire Loyalty, and Deliver Results," a practical management guide that helps leaders strengthen trust, improve team relationships, and create the conditions for better performance and loyalty. Judi Lawrence wrote "Your Passport to Apostilles: 116 Tips to Build a Thriving Business as an Apostille Agent," a specialized business guide that helps notaries and entrepreneurs understand apostille work, build confidence, and grow a profitable service-based business. Please join me in welcoming Bill, Kate, and Judi. 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: Shorten The Learning Curve: Books can help readers avoid mistakes the author already learned the hard way. Define A Healthy Standard: A leadership book can show readers what better management and workplace support look like. Build Around The Book: Lead magnets, services, webinars, podcasts, and speaking can turn a book into an ecosystem. Learn From Author Communities: Coaches, mentors, and peer groups can reveal the publishing steps first-time authors cannot see yet. Write For One Person: A focused reader makes the book stronger, even when not every review is glowing. Why listen to this episode? You’ll hear practical author journey lessons about writing, launching, collaboration, and using a book to build credibility, relationships, and business opportunities over time.

  HUB 515: AUTHOR PANEL - Kate Colbert and Nikki Green

  Jul 27, 202651 min

  One of the biggest fears aspiring authors carry is the fear of negative reviews. What if people do not like the book? What if someone misunderstands the message? What if the reviews are harsh, public, and permanent? That fear stops some entrepreneurs from ever starting the book they’ve been thinking about writing. But often, the real issue is not the possibility of criticism. It’s the lack of clarity before the writing even begins. When you know exactly who the book is for, what problem it solves, and how it connects to your expertise, the fear starts to lose its grip. You stop trying to please everyone, and you start focusing on deeply serving the right readers. That’s one of the reasons I created the Author ROI Lab. It helps entrepreneurs think strategically about their book before they invest months writing it. We test whether the message is clear, whether the audience is defined, and whether the book is positioned to support meaningful business goals. Because when you know your message will resonate with the right people, the fear of a few negative reviews no longer feels nearly as important. If you’re considering writing a book and want to approach it with greater clarity and confidence, schedule a complimentary chat at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com to learn more about the Author ROI Lab. And now, let’s meet today’s panelists. Kate Colbert wrote "Commencement: The Beginning of a New Era in Higher Education," a thought-provoking exploration of how colleges and universities must rethink their approach to leadership, communication, and student engagement in order to adapt to a rapidly changing educational landscape. Nikki Green wrote "Chameleon Mindset: Creative Ways To Embrace Change And Build Mental Resilience To Transform Your Career & Life," an encouraging and actionable book that helps readers strengthen resilience and navigate transitions with greater confidence. In this episode, we discuss the following: Know the Reader First: Clarity about the audience helps reduce the fear of negative reviews. Use Original Research: Proprietary data and interviews can make a nonfiction book more useful and more media-worthy. Distill Big Ideas: Readers often want an expert to synthesize complex information into something actionable. Build A Clear Framework: A memorable structure helps readers apply the ideas instead of just reading about them. Let The Audience Evolve: A book may reach readers you did not expect once the message starts spreading. Keep Marketing Alive: Promotional moments can bring new attention to books that still have evergreen value. Plan The Whole Race: Writing, publishing, and marketing all need attention before the book is finished.

  HUB 514: EXPERT INTERVIEW - Carol Abrahamson

  Jul 20, 202654 min

  What can a book do after it’s published, especially if you want it to create more visibility and credibility for your work? Today’s guest helps authors think more strategically about that next chapter. She works with fiction and nonfiction authors at every stage, from those still planning their book to those whose book came out years ago, helping them make the most of what they’ve created. She is a former book awards judge, a former McGraw-Hill executive, and the author of 42 nonfiction books. Through Book Award Mastery, she helps authors research the right award opportunities and build a practical plan to use award recognition in support of their larger goals. If you’ve ever wondered whether book awards are worth the effort, or how they can support the life of your book after publication, this conversation will give you a lot to think about. Please join me in welcoming one of our Biz Book Pub Hub Partners, Carol Abrahamson. Use Awards Strategically: A book award is more useful when it is connected to a larger action plan. Think Beyond Recognition: Awards and bestseller status can support credibility, but they are not the end goal. Build A Multi-Year Plan: The real value comes from what authors do before, during, and after the award process. Research The Right Opportunities: Not every award is legitimate, relevant, or worth pursuing. Revisit Older Books: Some quality awards are open to books published years ago, especially if the content is still timely. Let The Book Open Doors: Carol’s first book worked as a strategic introduction to the exact clients she wanted to reach. Trust Curated Expertise: Authors benefit when they can find reliable service providers instead of navigating the publishing world alone.
