💭 Thinking about self-publishing your book? Here are three essential tips to get you started:

1️⃣ Professional Editing:
Ensure your manuscript is polished and error-free.

2️⃣ Quality Design:
Invest in a professional cover and interior layout to attract readers.

3️⃣ Understand Distribution:
Know your options to maximize your book's reach.

When I published my first book, 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴-𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘗𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, it took me three years! And not because the writing was slow.

It took me three years because I had to figure out where the book fitted into my business… and because I had to get over the imposter syndrome that told me I wasn’t “qualified enough” to write it.

The truth is, the hardest part of publishing wasn’t the editing or the design. It was patience. Patience with myself. Patience with the process. Patience with the belief that what I had to say was worth sharing.

Along the way, I also developed a dangerous relationship with coffee ☕️—because sometimes patience needed a little help.

But here’s what I discovered: the waiting isn’t wasted. It’s the space where quality is built. It’s where your book transforms from an idea into a professional product you can be proud of.

Publishing taught me that patience isn’t about standing still. It’s about trusting yourself, trusting your message, and trusting the process.

💬 Tell me—what’s the biggest lesson your work has taught you about patience?

Mapping out a new book strategy for a client today — and wow, their story is wild. 📚✨

This is my favourite part of the process: taking a raw idea and shaping it into a strategy that not only produces a professional book but also positions the author for maximum impact.
Because every book has its own journey — and when you plan it right, it becomes so much more than just words on a page.

It’s easy to budget for the obvious costs of self-publishing — editing, design, printing. But what about the hidden costs that can derail your success?

👀 These are the ones I see catch first-time authors off guard again and again:

1️⃣ Time delays from rushing the process.
2️⃣ Having to fix sloppy first editions.
3️⃣ Missed opportunities because the book didn’t look credible.

The good news? They’re all avoidable — if you know what to watch out for.

📌 I break it all down (and show you how to avoid the traps) in this month’s blog: The Real Costs of Self-Publishing (And How to Avoid Expensive Mistakes).

It’s tempting to look at the cost of publishing as money spent. But here’s the truth: publishing a professional book is an investment in your credibility, your authority, and your business growth.

When you do it right, the return can be exponential — a single client, keynote, or bulk book order can cover your entire publishing spend.

I have a secret to share...

You know that by day I publish business books.
But by night, I conjure witches, prophecies, and morally grey love stories.

After two years of secretly building this world, I’m thrilled to share that my debut spicy contemporary romantasy novel, "The Power Borne", is coming soon.

If you (or someone you know) loves:
🖤 Dark, seductive fantasy
🖤 Enemies-to-lovers & slow-burn love triangles
🖤 High-stakes power struggles with a sensual edge
…then you’ll want to be first to grab a copy when pre-orders open.

Cue the happy dance 💃🕺 (and maybe a little tear in the corner of your eye).

For every author, it’s more than a listing—it’s proof you did it. You took an idea and turned it into something real. Something that’s going to reach readers you haven’t even met yet.

Meet Diane Watson.

Award-winning financial advisor. Founder of She Can Prosper. Now a sought-after speaker, media guest, and financial coach helping women take control of their financial futures.

When Diane came to me, she had a mission—to empower women with the knowledge, confidence, and practical steps to secure their financial wellbeing. What she didn’t yet have was the platform to amplify that message far beyond her existing network.

We worked together to bring her debut book, She Can Prosper, to life—a powerful blend of expert advice and relatable, real-life stories that resonate deeply with women everywhere.

Since launching in November 2023, Diane’s book has:
✨ Elevated her credibility as a thought leader.
✨ Generated 500+ new newsletter subscribers.
✨ Led to a surge in speaking invitations and podcast features.
✨ Played a pivotal role in her winning a Stevie Lifetime Achievement Award in New York.
✨ Helped her pivot from financial advising into full-time coaching.

As Diane puts it: “The book has definitely opened doors for me that would’ve remained closed otherwise.”

If you’re ready to step into the same kind of visibility, authority, and business growth that Diane has experienced—let’s talk about how we can make your book the key that opens those doors.

In 2019, I stood on stage at Trainer Talk Live to deliver a workshop at the soft-launch of my first book, Stress-Free Self-Publishing.

It wasn’t just a book launch. It was a turning point.

Up until then, I’d battled relentless imposter syndrome—not just about writing a book, but about my entire business. I questioned my authority, my expertise, and whether what I offered truly made a difference.

But by putting myself through the exact publishing process I guide my clients through—treating myself as my own client—I experienced first-hand the transformation that happens when you take ownership of your publishing journey.

I walked onto that stage feeling empowered, confident in my knowledge, and certain that I had something unique to offer. I understood, in a way I never had before, the value and impact of what I do for business owners who want to stand out in a crowded market.

That’s the real power of publishing with purpose. It doesn’t just position you as an expert—it changes how you see yourself and the impact you can have.

📌 If you’re ready to explore what that could mean for your own business, let’s talk.
