Every big project starts the same way… with a tiny voice whispering, “Who am I to do this?”
That voice showed up for me every single time I tried to write a book.
[…The very book that releases today >>> onepresentationawaybook.com]
It sounded logical.
Protective.
Like it was trying to save me from embarrassment.
But underneath that voice was something deeper, a truth I’d been avoiding:
The message I’d been teaching for years was ready to live beyond the stage.
So after starting (and quitting) three books, I finally finished one…
…and it’s officially out in the world today!
It’s called One Presentation Away, published by Wiley, and it’s everything I’ve learned over the last 17 years about how to use speaking to grow your business, all distilled into a few hours of reading.
And that’s what this week’s episode of The Expert Edge is all about.
Not only will I reveal some great strategies from the book, but I also want to share the process I used to write my book and what made the difference.
Episode 292 | NEW BOOK RELEASE: The Behind The Scenes On How To Write A Book On Your Expertise
Here’s what you’ll learn inside the episode:
1. Why accountability is the secret to finishing your bookI didn’t finish until I had a real deadline (thanks, Wiley). Whether it’s a writing coach, a public promise, or a coaching group – accountability gets ideas out of your head and into the world.
2. How to turn 17 years of experience into a 3-month writing sprintThe writing didn’t take years, the refining did. Your best book already exists inside your experience. You just need structure, stories, and a process that helps you organize what you already know.
3. The “whale” mindset of thought leadershipIn the book, I tell a story about standing in a Manhattan workshop surrounded by leaders, the “whales” in their industries, and realizing the only difference between us was visibility. Becoming a whale isn’t about being louder. It’s about deciding to lead.
4. The structure that makes your book (or content) flow effortlesslyThink of your chapters like jelly molds. Once you have the structure, you can pour ideas right in. (Credit to my wife, who’s also a published author, for that gem.) Having a really clear structure and general flow to follow for each chapter makes things a whole lot easier.
If you’ve ever wanted to write a book, share your expertise, or just finally finish that thing you’ve been “meaning to start,” this episode will show you how to make it happen, even in the middle of chaos (yes, I wrote mine during an international move).
To finishing what you start (even if you’re writing between boxes and airport gates),
