How to be a Productivity Ninja is one of the best-known books of its kind, packed with practical, sane advice about Getting Stuff Done in the way that works for you. In this episode Author Graham Allcott reveals the story behind it, including why he originally chose to self-publish and how the book works alongside his business, Think Productive. 

Sherry Bevan is the author of The Confident Mother, published by Practical Inspiration last year, and a confidence coach for women. In this episode she talks to me about the extraordinary impact the practice of Morning Pages has had on her life and her writing, and enjoys turning the tables as she coaches ME on writing my own book! 

Lots to report this week, with the Quantum Conference and London Book Fair coming up, but despite it all good progress on the book, with the working title and structure nailed down and (whisper it) the first few hundred words written.

In this the official launch episode of the Extraordinary Business Book Club podcast - published 4/4/16 - I interview a legend of business book writing: Michael E. Gerber, author of The E-Myth Revisited. This was the book everyone told me I had to read when I started up my own business, and they were right. Michael reveals how the book came about, how it's shaped his own business ever since, and gives some incredibly powerful, practical and challenging advice for anyone who wants to write a book that makes a change of that magnitude in the world. (This interview was recorded as part of the World-Changing Writers online summit in October 2015.)

At the other end of the scale entirely there's an update from me on how the post-its are proliferating...

In the second episode of the Extraordinary Business Book Club podcast I interview Caroline Ferguson on one of the most fundamental aspects of writing a business book - or indeed any book at all: mindset. What stops YOU from sitting down to write, from finishing your book, from getting it out there into the world? Stepping up to claim your expertise is scary, there's no doubt about it, and Caroline has some great advice to help overcome the fear and beat the procrastination that affects us all.  (This interview was recorded as part of the World-Changing Writers online summit in October 2015.) I also give you an update on how I'm getting on with my book, including a disastrous 'first date' with my inner artist...

In this first episode of the Extraordinary Business Book Club podcast I introduce myself and the EBBC and explain what's so extraordinary about it: it's about extraordinary business books, of course, but it's also an extraordinary book club because it's designed for writers as well as readers of business books, it focuses on the process of writing and publishing just as much as the content of the books themselves, and includes insights from authors and a wide range of business and publishing professionals on how the book can work for the business in the information age. 

If you're writing your own business book you're particularly welcome - join me as I start on my own very public book journey, getting advice and tips and giving you feedback on the tools and techniques I've been trying out week by week. I'd love to hear how you're getting on too!
