When you write a book, you're not just sharing your knowledge, you're planting the seeds for long-term growth. Your book can open unexpected doors: attracting ideal clients, boosting your visibility, and positioning you as a trusted authority in your space. But to make that kind of impact, you need more than a finished manuscript—you need a strategy that helps your book connect with the right people and lead them back to your business. That’s exactly why I started the Biz Book Pub Hub. It's a free resource where experts, authors, and writers come together to support each other through every stage of the book journey—from blank page to book launch and beyond. You can explore all of it at www.BizBookPubHub.com . Today, I’m excited to introduce two incredible authors: Antonio Valles wrote “Empower Your Presentation Skills: The Confident Entrepreneur's Guide to Grow Your Business,” a hands-on guide for professionals ready to level up their speaking skills and use presentations as a tool for building authority and closing more business. Kathy Sparrow is the author of “Ignite Your Leadership: Proven Tools to Energize Teams, Fuel Momentum, and Accelerate Results,” a book packed with powerful tools and insights to help leaders inspire their teams and create lasting organizational success. Please join me in welcoming Antonio and Kathy.  In this episode, we discuss the following: 🟠 Author Credibility and Client Attraction: Discover how publishing a well-crafted business book instantly boosts your authority, leads to more inbound inquiries, and helps ideal clients connect with your expertise.  🟠 Navigating the Inner Critic: Hear real stories about overcoming perfectionism, procrastination, and imposter syndrome.  🟠 Leveraging Book Marketing Collaboratively: Find out why a vibrant author community, strategic launches, and cross-promotion events like Kindle Flash Sale are key to lasting visibility and bringing in reviews, not just one-day bestsellers.  🟠 Lining Up Your Book with Your Business: Learn actionable tips for driving readers from your book directly to your speaking, consulting, or coaching pipeline—using bonus content, links, and clear calls-to-action inside your book.
