Want to Grow Your Business? Let’s Talk About Writing a Book, with Nancy Erickson
What are some of the mistakes that new authors make when writing a business book?
Can I possibly add writing a book to an already overwhelmed schedule?
How does a book help my business and career?
This week on the podcast, William interviews Nancy Erickson, The Book Professor®. Nancy coaches business professionals to become authors of high-impact nonfiction books that will establish them as experts in their fields, increase their credibility, help attract a following, and expand their business. When the book is finished, you can take each chapter and repurpose it to create other revenue-producing products that include seminars, workshops, online training, podcasts, and online courses.
Nancy Erickson is the owner of two book-related businesses, The Book Professor® and Stonebrook Publishing, an award-winning nonfiction publishing house. In 2022, she was named a Top 10 Book Coach in the US by The Coach Federation.
