Ep85: 5 Tough Lessons I Wish I Knew Before Becoming an Author

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0800

Have you ever wondered what it really takes to write a book? In this episode, I’m sharing five lessons I learned the hard way—lessons I wish someone had told me before I started my author journey.

From the struggles of self-doubt and procrastination to the realities of publishing and marketing, I’m giving you an inside look at what to expect and how to avoid common mistakes. If you're serious about turning your expertise into a book that generates influence, income, and impact, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why getting clear on your 'why' is the key to writing a successful book.
How perfectionism can derail your writing process—and how to overcome it.
The hidden challenges of publishing and why it's not as simple as hitting 'publish.'
The importance of having a strong support team to help you through the journey.
Why marketing your book is just as important as writing it—and how to start early.

Key Takeaways:

Clarity is Everything – Without a strong ‘why,’ your writing will lack direction and purpose.
Perfectionism is a Trap – Your first draft doesn’t need to be perfect; it just needs to exist.
Publishing is More Complex Than You Think – Formatting, editing, cover design, and launch strategies all play a role in your book’s success.
Support is Crucial – Whether it’s an editor, designer, or mentor, having the right people in your corner makes all the difference.
Marketing is Non-Negotiable – If you want your book to sell, you need a solid marketing strategy before, during, and after publication.

Ep78: How Writing a Book Can Give Your Business a Competitive Edge

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0800

Ever wondered why some business owners seem to stand out, attract clients, and unlock incredible opportunities? What if the secret wasn’t about spending more on ads or chasing the latest trend, but something timeless, like writing a book?

In this episode, I’m sharing how writing a book can transform your business, help you build trust, and give you an undeniable edge in today’s crowded market. Whether you’re a coach, consultant, or entrepreneur, you’ll discover why a book isn’t just another marketing tool; it’s the foundation for something bigger.

What You’ll Take Away from This Episode:

Establish Yourself as the Authority:

A book positions you as the go-to expert in your industry without you needing to say a word.
Even in competitive markets, your book sets you apart as the one who wrote the book.

Build a Brand That Sticks:

Your book becomes an extension of you: your story, values, and perspective.
Long after they’ve read it, your book keeps you at the forefront of your audience’s mind.

Turn Your Book Into a Long-Term Asset:

Unlike social media posts or ads, a book doesn’t fade into the noise. It stays on shelves, gets passed around, and continues to build your credibility.

Unlock Opportunities You Never Expected:

From speaking gigs and podcast invitations to collaborations, your book opens doors you didn’t even know existed.
It’s also a brilliant way to create new revenue streams, whether through workshops, online courses, or high-ticket programmes.

Attract the Right Clients and Build Trust:

A book allows potential clients to spend time with your thoughts and ideas without pressure, making it easier to build trust.
By the time they reach out, they already know, like, and trust you, making it easier to build strong relationships.

Key Takeaways:

Your book doesn’t have to be a massive novel. A short, focused, practical book that provides value can have a huge impact.
Writing a book isn’t just a marketing tactic; it’s a long-term strategy that sets you apart and elevates your business.

Key Takeaways:

Know Your Audience: Understand who you're writing for before you start. Tailor your content to their needs, desires, and pain points, creating a connection that resonates.
Craft a Strong Hook: Your book's title and opening paragraphs must grab attention. Use bold statements, thought-provoking questions, or relatable stories to draw readers in.
Offer a Unique Perspective: Share personal experiences, case studies, and insights that set your book apart, positioning you as an authority in your field.
Provide Actionable Content: Address specific problems your audience faces and offer practical solutions. Include exercises, worksheets, or guides to make your content implementable.
Leverage Storytelling: Engaging stories humanise your content and deepen the connection with your audience. Don't shy away from including emotional elements and personal experiences.

Ep61: From Idea to Published: Tips for Busy Business Owners

Thu, 17 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0800

In this episode of Idea to Impact, best-selling author Blake De Vos tackles the challenge of balancing business demands with writing a book. Blake shares strategies to make the process more manageable, while showing how writing can benefit your business and position you as an expert in your field.

Key Takeaways:

Balancing Responsibilities: As a business owner, it can feel impossible to make time for writing a book. However, with the right approach, it’s not only possible but can also complement your business and help you reach a wider audience.
Focus on Small Wins: The journey to writing a book isn’t just about hitting big milestones like finishing a chapter or publishing the manuscript. It's about celebrating small achievements along the way, such as writing 200 words in a day or brainstorming for 30 minutes. These small wins help build momentum and make the process feel more manageable.
Time Management: You don’t need full days dedicated to writing. Carving out small, consistent chunks of time – even 15 minutes a day – can make a huge difference. Consistency is key, and over time, these sessions will add up to chapters, and eventually, a complete manuscript.
Stay Connected to Your Why: Writing a book is more than just ticking off a bucket list item. It’s about sharing your expertise, telling your story, and helping others. Keeping sight of your purpose will keep you motivated, especially on the tough days.
Self-Care Matters: Looking after yourself is crucial when balancing business and writing. Taking short breaks to recharge or engaging in activities you enjoy will help keep your creativity flowing and prevent burnout.

Blake wraps up by encouraging listeners to celebrate every step of the journey and take the first action towards writing their book. If you found this episode helpful, share it with fellow business owners and stay tuned for more on Idea to Impact.

Ep54: Creating a Writing Schedule That Fits Your Busy Life—And Sticking to It

Tue, 24 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0800

In this episode, learn the secret behind writing your book without feeling overwhelmed by the busyness of life. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a coach, or a busy mom, you’ll learn how to fit writing into your schedule, even if it seems impossible right now.

Key Takeaways:

Step 1: Mindset Shift – It’s about prioritizing your writing, not waiting to find time. Writing doesn’t magically happen; you make it happen.
Step 2: Be Realistic – Create a schedule that fits your actual life, not an ideal version of it. Don’t set unrealistic goals like writing for hours when you know you don’t have that time.
Step 3: Break It Down – Tackle your book in small, manageable goals. Focus on sections, not the entire manuscript at once.
Step 4: Find Your Routine – Some people thrive on structure; others prefer flexibility. Find what works for you and stick to it.
Step 5: Eliminate Distractions – Don't wait for the perfect distraction-free moment. Instead, work with the environment you have.
Step 6: Stick to Your Routine, But Stay Flexible – Life happens, and that’s okay. Just get back to writing when you can and stay consistent.

Special Mentions:

My journey writing Six Pillars of a Rewarding Life and how I struggled with momentum.
How I finished Evolve Your Skills and Publish to Impact in just 6 months by creating a realistic writing schedule.
The importance of repurposing your writing for content in your business—writing your book can save time!

Thu, 19 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0800

In this episode of the Idea to Impact podcast, we go beyond the usual focus on sales and dive into what really matters when writing a book—the lasting impact it will have on your readers. It's not just about how many copies you sell; it’s about how your book changes lives, inspires action, and sticks with people long after they’ve finished reading.

We break down the steps to writing a book that moves people and leaves a legacy:

Having a Bigger Message: Your book should be more than a reflection of your personal story. We talk about how to elevate your experiences into a universal message that serves your readers and addresses their deepest challenges.
Understanding Your Audience: We explore the importance of empathy and how knowing your readers on a deep, personal level will transform your writing.
Storytelling that Connects: Learn why telling stories—not just listing facts or selling ideas—creates a lasting connection with your audience and makes your book more engaging.
Being Vulnerable: We discuss how sharing your failures, doubts, and struggles can inspire your readers and make your message relatable.
Thinking Long-Term: Finally, we cover how to write for the long game—creating a legacy that impacts readers for years, not just during the initial launch.

Tune in to learn how you can create a book that not only sells but inspires, leaving a meaningful and lasting mark on the lives of your readers.

Mentioned in this Episode:

The Six Pillars of a Rewarding Life as an example of turning personal stories into a framework others can apply to their lives.

Ep46: The 5 Biggest MISTAKES Business Owners Make When Writing a Book

Tue, 27 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0800

We've got some exciting updates on the horizon – in just a few weeks, there will be a name change to better reflect our focus on helping business owners become successful authors, create influence, and generate more income within their industry.

In today’s episode, we dive into the top five mistakes that business owners often make when writing their books. Whether you're in the planning stages or knee-deep in writing, these insights will help you avoid common pitfalls and align your book with your business goals for maximum impact.

Key Takeaways:

Align Your Book with Your Life and Business Goals:

The first mistake is failing to align your book with your life and business goals. Without this alignment, the process can feel overwhelming, leading to delays and a lack of motivation. Think about what you want to achieve with your book – whether it’s generating leads, building a coaching service, or increasing your influence.

Importance of Planning and Structure:

Many business owners underestimate the importance of planning and structuring their book. A clear plan can save you time and make the writing process more efficient. Spend a few weeks planning before diving into writing, and you’ll find that you can achieve a lot in just an hour a day.

Don’t Do It All Yourself:

Trying to do everything on your own is a common mistake. Professional editing, cover design, and formatting are crucial investments that can elevate your book’s quality and ensure it reflects your brand.

Marketing and Launch Strategy is Essential:

Ignoring your marketing and launch strategy can lead to disappointing results. A well-thought-out launch plan, including building a launch team, can create anticipation and ensure your book makes a strong impact from day one.

Leverage Your Book for Business Growth:

Finally, don’t forget to leverage your book for business growth. Your book can be a powerful tool to open doors, create opportunities, and serve as a long-term asset for your business. Whether through speaking engagements, online courses, or networking, use your book to its full potential.

Ep33: Exclusive Vs. Wide Publishing? How To Choose Your eBook Publishing Strategy

Thu, 06 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0800

Episode Title: Exclusive vs. Wide Publishing: Navigating Amazon KDP

Episode Summary:

I'm returning after an enjoyable weekend in Southwest Western Australia, where my fiancè and I visited our wedding venue with the family!

In today's episode, I'm getting into the publishing process, with a focus on Amazon's KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) and Ebooks. This episode is all about the options available to you when you publish your book. There's two simple options: Do you want to be exclusive (to Amazon)? Or go wide (be able to sell your ebook inside and outside of Amazon). There are pros and cons for both and today's episode will help you decide which option to choose when you publish your book!

Exclusive vs. Wide Distribution:

Exclusive: Publishing exclusively with Amazon via the KDP Select program.

Benefits:

Earn royalties based on pages read.
Reach a broader audience through Kindle Unlimited.

Drawbacks:

Limited distribution to only Amazon.
Tied to a 90-day exclusivity period.
Potential market saturation.
Reliance solely on Amazon, which can be risky if issues arise.

Wide: Distributing your e-book across multiple platforms.

Benefits

Diversify income streams.
Reduced dependency on Amazon.
Ability to use your book as a lead generation tool.

Drawbacks:

Complex management and bookkeeping.
Different payment schedules across platforms.
Difficult to gain traction without an existing audience.

Book Goals and Strategy:

Importance of aligning your distribution strategy with your book goals.
Testing both exclusive and wide options to determine the best fit for your needs.

ISBNs for Paperback Books:

Options for acquiring an ISBN:
Purchase your own ISBN for flexibility.
Use Amazon’s KDP assigned ISBN for exclusivity to Amazon.
Not using an ISBN.

It's essential to consider your long-term goals and test different strategies to see what works best for you. Remember, the key is to align your publishing approach with your specific goals and be patient with the results.

Ep28: Grit It Done! Reid Tileston and His Journey From Corporate Finance To Fitness Ownership and Acquisitions

Tue, 14 May 2024 00:00:00 +0800

Welcome back to another episode of the Published Impact Podcast! In this episode, we're joined by Reid Tileston. Reid is not just an author and keynote speaker, but also an expert in entrepreneurial business ownership and a professor at Case Western University. With his upcoming book, "Grit It Done," Reid shares insights from his 15 years of successful business ownership.

Reid shares his journey into entrepreneurship, which started at a San Francisco pub, and how he transitioned from finance to fitness franchising.
The concept behind "Grit It Done" emerged from Reid's experiences and observations in the business world, particularly highlighting the importance of perseverance and determination.
Reid discusses common misconceptions about entrepreneurship, emphasising the need to be "all in" to succeed.
Strategies for maintaining relationships with high-profile brands and partnerships while focusing on understanding customer needs and providing valuable services.
Reid's intrinsic motivation stems from his relationships with people, which has inspired him to pursue endeavors like teaching entrepreneurship and participating in endurance challenges like climbing the world's longest staircase in Switzerland.
The future of entrepreneurship, according to Reid, lies in the acquisition of existing businesses rather than starting from scratch, offering lower risks and higher potential returns.
His book, "Grit It Done," aims to demystify entrepreneurship and provide practical advice for aspiring business owners, underlining the importance of commitment and dedication.

The biggest takeaway from Reid's book is encapsulated in the phrase: "If you're not all in, you're in the way,".

Week 13: Setting the Stage:

Initiated book formatting using preferred software, ensuring visual appeal and readability.
I'd reccomend outsourcing formatting for authors lacking necessary tools or expertise.

Downloaded formatted copies and prepared to upload them to the Amazon dashboard.
Uploaded separate files for paperback and Kindle versions, following Amazon's guidelines.
Selected pricing and ordered proof copies for quality assurance before the official launch.

Received proof copies within 5-7 days, utilised them for proofreading and quality checks.
Made minor adjustments, such as adding logo initials to the spine
Reviewed the book for any last-minute changes and sought feedback

What is your unique story? Highlighting personal experiences, insights, and expertise to differentiate your perspective and establish credibility.
How does your book align with your business goals? Exploring the ways the book supports broader business objectives, such as lead generation and establishing authority.
Are you willing to invest the time and effort? Emphasising the commitment required for writing and publishing a quality book within a reasonable timeframe.
Do you have a clear message and outline? Crafting a concise and engaging message while structuring the book to deliver value effectively.
Are you open to feedback? Embracing constructive criticism from editors and proofreaders to refine the manuscript and enhance readability.
How will you promote and market your book? Developing a comprehensive marketing plan pre, during, and post-release, leveraging various channels to engage the audience.
Are you prepared for potential challenges? Anticipating and addressing obstacles like self-doubt and logistical hurdles to navigate the writing and publishing process successfully.
What does success look like to you? Defining success metrics and outcomes, whether it's royalties, legacy, or impact, to align expectations and measure achievement

In this episode, we tackle a common dilemma for nonfiction writers: the struggle between seeking recognition as an author and aiming to make a genuine impact with their book

Resonance with Readers
Catalyst for Change
Thought Leadership
Legacy Building
Authentic Connections

Ep19: How To Write A Powerful Introduction For Your Nonfiction Book

Tue, 02 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0800

In today's episode, we delve into the critical element of non-fiction book writing: the introduction. Just as the saying goes, "the first impression is the best impression," your book's introduction serves as the gateway to a powerful reading experience. It's where you grab your reader's attention, set expectations, and pave the way for an impactful journey through your book's content.

In this episode, you'll find out how to apply the following ten steps when it comes to mastering the intro for your book.

Step 1: Begin with a Hook

Your introduction's opening sentence is your chance to hook your reader. Whether it's a surprising fact, a thought-provoking question, or a compelling anecdote, aim to captivate your audience from the very first words. For example, in my book "The Six Pillars of a Rewarding Life," I opened with a reflection on memories to draw readers in.

Step 2: Establish Relevance

After hooking your readers, emphasise why your topic matters. Address potential questions and connect your topic to real-world scenarios to make it relatable and significant. This helps readers understand why they should care about what you have to say.

Step 3: State Your Purpose

Clearly articulate the main argument or purpose of your book. Use this as a roadmap for what readers can expect to learn and discover throughout your book. Providing a clear purpose helps establish the value of your book to your audience.

Step 4: Build Intrigue

Create curiosity and mystery to keep readers engaged. Tease ideas and concepts that you'll explore further in the book, encouraging readers to continue reading to find the answers they seek.

Step 5: Showcase Your Authority

Establish your credibility early on by sharing relevant qualifications, experiences, or reasons why you're a credible source on the subject. This builds trust and confidence in your expertise.

Step 6: Set the Tone

Match the tone of your introduction with the overall tone of your book. Whether it's conversational, humorous, or authoritative, maintain consistency to create a seamless reading experience.

Step 7: Be Concise

Avoid overwhelming readers with unnecessary details. Keep your introduction clear and concise, focusing on what's essential to maintain readers' attention.

Step 8: Bring Up Subtopics

Provide a preview of the subtopics or chapters you'll cover in your book. This helps readers understand the structure of your book and anticipate what's to come.

Step 9: Paint a Picture

Use descriptive language to create vivid imagery that allows readers to visualise your topic. Paint a mental picture that immerses readers in your content and enhances their reading experience.

Step 10: Revise and Refine

Once you've completed your manuscript, revisit your introduction to revise and refine it. Ensure it aligns with the content of your book and effectively sets the stage for what's to come

Ep13: How To Overcome Imposter Syndrome When Writing Your Book

Tue, 12 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0800

Imposter syndrome is a common struggle that many of us face, especially when it comes to writing a book. In this episode, we'll explore what imposter syndrome is, how it shows up when writing a book, and most importantly, strategies to overcome it.

Acknowledge Your Achievements. Take a moment to reflect on how far you've come. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem. Recognise the dedication and hard work you've invested in your writing journey.
Practice Self-Compassion. Be gentle with yourself. Understand that stumbling is a part of the process. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a client or friend.
Challenge Negative Thoughts. When imposter syndrome rears its head, question its validity. Are these thoughts based on facts or feelings? You'll often find that your fears are unfounded, and you're far more capable than you give yourself credit for.
Surround Yourself with Support. Seek out a community of fellow writers who understand your struggles. Share your experiences, seek advice, and offer encouragement to one another. Together, you can navigate the challenges of imposter syndrome.
Choose Action over Fear. Don't wait for imposter syndrome to dissipate before you begin writing. Take that first step, no matter how daunting it may seem. The more you write, the more confident you'll become in your abilities.
Focus on Impact, Not Perfection. Remember, your book doesn't have to be flawless. Instead, concentrate on the impact you wish to make with your words. Embrace the messy, imperfect nature of the writing process, trusting that your message will resonate with your audience.

Ep09: How To Map Out Your Book Idea And Create An Awesome Outline

Tue, 27 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0800

I'll always say that every step in the book writing process is important. But mind mapping your book is essential in gaining clarity in your book idea. In today's episode, we dive into the four steps you need to take to effectively mind map your book idea.

Step 1: Gain clarity. What is your book about and what's the message you're trying to send?

Step 2: Structure your ideas. How will you organise your book. Will you include sections, end of chapter exercises or interviews throughout?

Step 3: Solving your readers' problems. Writing down key points on solving your readers problem is an important step in preparing to write your manuscript.

Step 4: Writing a draft conclusion. Think about where your reader will end up and write a conclusion based on that. When you come back to it at the end of your manuscript, you'll realise how far you've come in the book writing process and be confident to rewrite your conclusion to make it as powerful as can be.

Research materials. Knowing what research you'll be using to support your book prior to writing it is a key part in writing an effective manuscript. Preparing all your materials prior is a great way to write your book efficiently.
