April 21, 2025Ep96: The 4-Step System for Writing Your Book While Running a Business
Welcome back to the Idea to Impact Podcast! I'm your host, Blake DeVos, and in today’s episode, we’re tackling a huge myth that stops so many aspiring authors from writing their book: "I just don’t have the time."
If that sounds like you, this episode is going to flip that belief on its head.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why lack of time isn’t the real issue—lack of a system is.
How to write a high-impact, business-building book in just one hour a day
The exact 4-step system our Idea to Impact clients use to finish their first drafts in 6–8 weeks while running businesses, coaching clients, and managing life.
How to protect your energy and stay consistent, even when life gets messy.

Key Takeaways:
Time isn't the problem. Most people waste extra time on low-impact activities. What you need is structure and clarity.
500–700 words a day = a draft in 6–8 weeks. That’s a full book done while keeping your business humming.

Bonus Tips:
Ritualise your writing sessions. Tea, music, a favorite chair—turn it into your creative zone.
Miss a day? No stress. Reset tomorrow. Momentum is built through resets, not guilt.
One hour a day beats ten hours once a month—every time.
