In this episode, I explore one of the most important yet often daunting steps in the book writing process—coming up with your book idea. Whether you're brimming with ideas but unsure which one to pursue or staring at a blank page, this episode is packed with practical strategies to help you move forward.

I share my personal experience writing The Six Pillars of a Rewarding Life, Evolve Your Skills, and Publish to Impact, and the challenges I faced when developing clear, impactful book ideas. I'll walk you through five creative strategies to help you find your book idea and make sure it's aligned with your passion, expertise, and the kind of impact you want to create.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to brainstorm your passion and expertise for a book idea.
• Why solving a common problem your audience faces is an excellent starting point.
• How personal stories can be the foundation of a powerful book.
• The value of asking your audience directly what they need.
• How to combine different concepts to create a unique and compelling book.

Key Takeaways:

1. Brainstorming Your Passion & Expertise: Create a list of topics that excite you and match those with your areas of expertise.
2. Solving a Common Problem: Focus on the problems your ideal readers face and how your book can offer solutions.
3. Using Personal Stories: Your personal experiences are a goldmine for creating content that deeply resonates with readers.
4. Asking Your Audience for Feedback: Leverage social media, surveys, or direct conversations to get input on what your readers need most.
5. Combining Ideas: Blend two or more concepts for a book idea that’s unique and appeals to a specific niche.
