Listen Later

This episode is about the process of writing a book for your business and how to overcome the inner obstacles you might face along the journey. Becky is joined by Catherine Gregory—Book Coach, Publisher, and Co-Founder of Modern Wisdom Press. Catherine shares her expert guidance for writing a book, and she discusses understanding when it’s the right time to share your message with the world. 

During the episode, Catherine also shares:  

  • A little bit about herself, her own author journey, and her business.
  • The resistance and fear she faced as a first-time author, and the resistance and fear she sees in other first-time authors.
  • What authors should be thinking about as they pursue the goal of writing a book to support their business.
  • What causes authors to overthink as they plan their book projects.
  • How she helps first-time authors get clear about who their ultimate reader is.
  • How an author who is not sure what their business will become can go about writing a book for that business.
  • How she gets authors into a space where they will allow their inner wisdom to emerge. 
  • Why having a beginner’s mindset can help an author as they start to envision the right book for their business.
  • How she evaluates whether or not a book idea from one of her authors is the right book for their business. 
  • The difference between fear and intuition when it comes time to share your work with the world. 
  • How the book writing process has been transformative for her and the authors she supports.
