9 Myths Holding You Back From Writing


Listen Later

In today’s conversation, I’m dismantling 9 myths that keep powerful Christian leaders from writing their signature book — including:


• “I need more time.”

• “I need a bigger platform.”

• “Traditional publishing is the only valid path.”

• “What if people criticize me?”

• “Books don’t actually grow a business.”


And the real reason most Christian CEOs delay writing their book.


If you are building a Kingdom-centered business rooted in influence, frameworks, and intellectual property, your book is not optional. It is an authority engine.
