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.
