Ep68: The 5 Mistakes Business Owners Make When Writing Their First Book
In this episode, Blake discusses the five most common mistakes business owners make when publishing their first book. He emphasizes the importance of targeting the right audience, treating the book as more than just a business card, taking the time to write thoughtfully, having a solid marketing plan, and leveraging the book for ongoing business growth. By avoiding these pitfalls, aspiring authors can create impactful books that enhance their business success.

- Your book should be a standalone value-packed asset.
- Rushing the writing process can lead to poor quality.
- Invest time in writing; six months is ideal.
- Marketing should start before the book is finished.
- Your book is a tool for long-term business growth.
- Engage your audience during the writing process.
