Episode Notes

The biggest hurdles many women face when dreaming of writing their own non-fiction book are centred around some perceived lacks – they often feel they lack expertise, know-how, confidence and self-belief. Of course, time and money can be influencing factors as well.

One of the goals of this podcast show is to bust some myths for you – and help you cast your own self-doubts aside.

The show features relatable role models – not necessarily household names – but women just like you who you can feel a connection with.

They have often used their books to re-shape their business or career – and importantly, to satisfy a strong desire to do something big and long-lasting

Your own reasons for publishing will be varied – but ideally you will have a mix of personal and professional motivation.  You might want to:

  • Share your knowledge and make a difference by positively impacting others
  • Be seen as an expert in your field and be invited to a larger platform
  • Differentiate yourself from others in a similar field, by being more visible and growing your business
  • Kickstart a new career or business because of your book
  • Feel personal significance and accomplishment because you have made a special dream come true.
