Ep75: Five Major Pitfalls to Avoid When Writing Your Business Book


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the challenges business owners, coaches, experts, and consultants face when writing a book. A book has the power to elevate your brand, establish authority, and attract clients—but only if done right. I’ll uncover the five biggest pitfalls professionals fall into during the writing process and share actionable strategies to avoid them.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a roadmap to navigate the book-writing journey successfully and a clear understanding of how to turn your book into a valuable business asset.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  • Why treating your book as a side project can slow you down—and how to prioritise it as a core business strategy.
  • How to avoid overloading your book with too much information while still providing immense value.
  • The importance of understanding your ideal reader and tailoring your book to their specific needs.
  • Why structure is essential for creating a compelling and actionable book.
  • The risks of going at it alone—and how to build a support network to keep you motivated and on track.
  • BONUS: Why the post-writing process is just as crucial as writing itself, and how to plan for success in publishing and marketing.
